Epinastine (brand names Alesion, Elestat, Purivist, Relestat) is a second-generation antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. Epinastine is a topically active, direct H1-receptor antagonist and an inhibitor of the release of histamine from the mast cell. Epinastine is selective for the histamine H1-receptor and has affinity for the histamine H2 receptor. Epinastine also possesses affinity for the α1-, α2-, and 5-HT2 –receptors. Epinastine does not penetrate the blood/brain barrier and, therefore, is not expected to induce side effects of the central nervous system. Elestat ophthalmic solution is indicated for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The recommended dosage is one drop in each eye twice a day. Treatment should be continued throughout the period of exposure (i.e., until the pollen season is over or until exposure to the offending allergen is terminated), even when symptoms are absent.

Route of Administration: Topical

In Vitro Use Guide

Nasal epithelial cells (NECs) were stimulated with 25 ng/ml TNF-alpha in the presence of Epinastine (10 to 30 ng/ml). The minimum concentration of Epinastine (EP) that caused a significant decrease in eosinophil survival was 25 ng/ml. The addition of EP into eosinophil cultures did not cause inhibition of eosinophil survival, which was prolonged by stimulation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), even when 40 ng/ml EP was added to cell cultures.
