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.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Histamine H1 receptor [1]
246 nM
In vitro
Fexofenadine exhibits a potent and concentration-dependent anti-anaphylactic activity with an IC50 value of 95.5nM. Fexofenadine shows only a weak competitive antagonist behaviour for the 5-HT2A receptorsfrom rat caudal artery with pA2 of 5.2. [1] All four P-gp inhibitors has a strong, concentration-dependent effect on the Papp of fexofenadine in both directions in the Caco-2 cell model. The IC50 of verapamil is 8.44 mM on the P-gp-mediated secretion of Fexofenadine. [2] Fexofenadine causes a significant increase in the QT and Tp-e intervals and receives a significant TdP score at doses greater than 100 fold its free TPC in the rabbit left ventricular wedge preparation. [3]
In vivo
Fexofenadine is excreted unchanged in the urine, bile, and gastrointestinal tract, indicating minimal metabolism in rats, making it an ideal probe to study transport processes. Coadministration of Fexofenadine with Ketoconazole increases the oral exposure of Fexofenadine by 187% in rats. In contrast, coadministration of Fexofenadine with orange juice or apple juice to rats decreases the oral exposure of Fexofenadine by 31% and 22%, respectively. Increasing the quantity of orange or apple juice administered further decreases the oral exposure of Fexofenadine, by 40% and 28%, respectively. [4] Biliary excretion clearance of Fexofenadine (17 ml/min/kg) accounts for almost 60% of the total body clearance (30 ml/min/kg) in mice. Knockout mice of Mdr1a/1b P-gp does not affect the biliary excretion clearance with regard to both plasma and liver concentrations, whereas the absence of P-gp causes a 6-fold increase in the plasma concentration and 3-fold higher brain-to-plasma concentration ratio after oral administration.
