Hypertension Research

Hypertension is defined as a chronic elevation in blood pressure with a systolic pressure over 140 mmHg and a diastolic pressure over 90 mmHg.The majority of hypertension is primary - that is, an increase in blood pressure with no underlying cause - yet pathologies that affect the kidney or endocrine system may also trigger hypertension. This is known as secondary hypertension. The exact mechanism of primary hypertension is yet to be elucidated, though dysfunctions in mechanisms that regulate vascular tone, both directly and indirectly, have been identified as having a major influence on hypertension.

Cat.No. Product Name Information/Activity
BCC7691 Astemizole Astemizole (R 43512), a second-generation antihistamine drug to diminish allergic symptoms with a long duration of action, is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 4 nM. Astemizole also shows potent hERG K+ channel blocking activity with an IC50 of 0.9 nM. Astemizole has antipruritic effects.
BCC4517 Cetirizine DiHCl Cetirizine dihydrochloride, a second-generation antihistamine and the carboxylated metabolite of hydroxyzine, is a specific, orally active and long-acting histamine H1-receptor antagonist. Cetirizine dihydrochloride marks antiallergic properties and inhibits eosinophil chemotaxis during the allergic response[1][2][3].
BCC4528 Clemastine Fumarate Clemastine (fumarate) (HS-592 (fumarate)) is a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist with IC50 of 3 nM.
BCC1486 Clemizole hydrochloride Clemizole hydrochloride is an H1 histamine receptor antagonist, is found to substantially inhibit HCV replication. The IC50 of Clemizole for RNA binding by NS4B is 24±1 nM, whereas its EC50 for viral replication is 8 µM.
BCC4540 Desloratadine Desloratadine(Sch34117) is a potent antagonist for human histamine H1 receptor used to treat allergies.
BCC4542 Fexofenadine HCl Fexofenadine hydrochloride (MDL-16455 hydrochloride), a H1R antagonist, is an anti-allergic agent used in seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticarial (person aged ≥16 years).
BCC1262 Loratadine Loratadine (SCH-29851) is a selective inverse peripheral histamine H1-receptor agonist with an IC50 of >32 μM. Loratadine has anti-dengue-virus (DENV) activity.
BCC6740 Mepyramine maleate Mepyramine maleate, a first generation antihistamine, is an antagonist of histamine H1 receptor, with Kds of 0.8 nM, 5200 nM and >3000 nM for H1, H2, and H3 receptor, respectively, and a pKd of 9.4 for H1 receptor.
BCC4545 Olopatadine HCl Olopatadine hydrochloride (ALO4943A) is a histamine blocker used to treat allergic conjunctivitis.
BCC3866 Terfenadine Terfenadine ((±)-Terfenadine) is a potent open-channel blocker of hERG with an IC50 of 204 nM. Terfenadine, an H1 histamine receptor antagonist, acts as a potent apoptosis inducer in melanoma cells through modulation of Ca2+ homeostasis. Terfenadine induces ROS-dependent apoptosis, simultaneously activates Caspase-4, -2, -9.
