Azelastine inhibits Ag- and ionomycin-induced TNF-alpha release with IC50 values of 25.7 mM and 1.66 mM, respectively, in a rat mast RBL-2H3 cell line. Azelastine also inhibits TNF-alpha mRNA expression, TNF-alpha protein synthesis and release, and, possibly related to these effects, Ca2+ influx, in Ag-stimulated cells. Azelastine inhibits TNF-alpha release to a greater extent than mRNA expression/protein synthesis and Ca2+ influx in ionomycin-stimulated cells, suggesting that Azelastine inhibits the release process more potently than transcription or production of TNF-alpha by interfering with a signal other than Ca2+. Azelastine added 1 hour after ionomycin stimulation also immediately blocks subsequent release of TNF-alpha, which has been produced in the cells, without affecting Ca2+ influx. Azelastine inhibits ionomycin-induced, but not Ag-induced, protein kinase C translocation to the membranes. [1] Azelastine hydrochloride (Azeptin) dose-dependently suppresses both DNA and protein synthesis in human gingival fibroblasts (HF) and also suppresses blastogenesis of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Azelastine hydrochloride (Azeptin) suppresses both inducible nitric oxide synthase-mRNA level and NO generation in mouse peritoneal macrophages. [2] Azelastine inhibits secretion of IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-8 as well as NF-kappaB activation and intracellular calcium ion levels in normal human mast cells. [3] |

Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
