Bepotastine is a non-sedating, orally active second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist with higher selectivity than H3 receptors, α1, α2 and β adrenergic receptors, dopamine D2 receptors, serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, vagus nerve acetylcholine receptors, and benzodiazepine receptors [1]. Bepotastine can inhibit the upregulation of histamine-mediated nerve growth factor (NGF) expression [2]. Bepotastine can be used in studies of allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and urticaria/pruritus [3-4].
In vitro, Bepotastine (10, 100, and 1000μM; 120min) pretreatment reduced histamine release from glomerular mesangial cells (RPMCs) induced by ionizing agent A23187, and could dose-dependently inhibit the chemotaxis of eosinophils induced by leukotriene B4 (LTB4) [5]. Bepotastine (50μM; 1h) treatment significantly reduced the mRNA expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) in human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) mediated by histamine [6].
In vivo, treatment with Bepotastine (10μL 1% (w/v) eye drop) 20, 40 and 60 minutes before platelet-activating factor (PAF) stimulation was able to significantly inhibit the eosinophil infiltration in the conjunctiva of guinea pigs with PAF-induced allergic conjunctivitis model [5]. Bepotastine (3 and 10mg/kg/day; single dose) oral treatment 1 hour later could effectively inhibit scratching behavior induced by histamine in mice, and significantly reduced the serum LTB4 levels in the NC/Nga dermatitis model mice at a dose of 10mg/kg/day [7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Renal glomerular mesangial cells (RPMCs) |
Preparation Method | For the assay of histamine release, 1mL of RPMC suspension (2 × 104 cells/mL) was mixed with 1mL of Tyrode’s solution containing 0.2% ethanol with or without Bepotastine at final concentrations of 10, 100, or 1000μM, and the mixture was pre-incubated for 120min at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere (5% CO2). After preincubation, 10μL of the calcium ionophore A23187 in dimethylsulfoxide was added to each well to make a final concentration of 0.01μM A23187 and the plates were incubated for 10min. The plates were then placed on ice to terminate the reaction and each cell suspension was centrifuged at 200×g for 8min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected to determine the amount of histamine release from RPMCs. Histamine in the precipitant was determined by adding Tyrode’s solution and homogenizing by sonication. The sonicated samples were centrifuged at 800×g for 10min at 4°C and the supernatant was collected to determine the amount of residual histamine. |
Reaction Conditions | 10, 100 and 1000μM; 120min |
Applications | Bepotastine pretreatment reduced the histamine release from RPMCs induced by the A23187. |
| Animal experiment [1]: | |
Animal models | Guinea pigs (allergic conjunctivitis models) |
Preparation Method | Guinea pigs (6-week-old) topically received 10μL of Bepotastine eye drops (1.0% (w/v)) in one eye 3 times at intervals of 20min. At 20min after the last instillation of Bepotastine, 10μL of platelet-activating factor (PAF) dissolved in saline at a final concentration of 0.1% (w/v) was topically applied into their conjunctiva to induce eosinophil infiltration. Six hours after PAF instillation, the animals were euthanized and each conjunctiva was removed for determination of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) activity. |
Dosage form | 1.0% (w/v) for 10µL; Eye drop; 3 times at intervals of 20min (in one eye) |
Applications | Treatment with Bepotastine was able to significantly inhibit the PAF-induced eosinophil infiltration in the guinea pig conjunctiva. |
