Description
Desloratadine-d
4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of desloratadine by GC- or LC-MS. Desloratadine is a histamine H
1 receptor antagonist (K
i = 0.97 nM) and an active metabolite of loratadine .
1,2 It is formed from loratadine primarily by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19.
3 It also inhibits calcium flow in neurons and glia
in vitro (IC
50s = 9.177 and 0.3185 μM, respectively), an effect that can be blocked by knockdown of the 5-HT receptor subtype 5-HT
2A.
4 Desloratadine (10 mg/kg) reduces ovalbumin-induced sneezing, nose rubbing, eye watering, and congestion in ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs.
5 It also increases the clearance of amyloid-β by microglia and reverses learning and memory deficits in the Morris water maze in the transgenic APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg per day.
4 Formulations containing desloratadine have been used in the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria.
Uses
Desloratadine-3,3,5,5-d4 is the deuterium labeled Desloratadine. Desloratadine (Sch34117) is the orally active major metabolite of the nonsedating H1-antihistamine Loratadine. Desloratadine is a selective H1-receptor antagonist that has anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activities[1][2].
