Dimebolin is an orally-available antihistamine drug with a long history of clinical use in Russia [1][2][3][4].
Dimebolin has been proposed to be useful for treating neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Huntington's disease (HD). Dimebon might exhibit efficacy by blocking NMDA receptors or voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and by preventing mitochondrial permeability pore transition [3].
Dimebolin is an orally-available antihistamine drug. Dimebon improved survival of cerebellar granule cells during long-term incubation with Aβ25-35. Dimebolin also blocked potential-dependent Ca(2+) entry into neurons by about 20% by blocking L-type Ca(2+) channels [4]. In the cerebellum cell culture, Dimebolin protected neurons against the neurotoxic action of Aβ25-35 with EC50 value of 25 μM. On isolated rat ileum intestine, Dimebolin displayed Ca2+-blocking properties with IC50 value of 57 μM. Dimebon also exhibited anticholinesterase activity with IC50 values of 7.9 μM and 42 μM for butyryl-choline esterase and acetylcholine esterase, respectively [5].
In rats treated with the neurotoxin AF64A, Dimebolin exhibited cognition and memory-enhancing properties. In mice, Dimebolin prevented NMDA-induced seizures with EC50 value of 42 ± 6 mg/kg [5].

Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
