 Use of Naphazoline nitrate


Naphazoline (Naphthazoline) nitrate is an α-adrenergic receptor agonist. Naphazoline nitrate reduces vascular hyperpermeability and promotes vasoconstriction. Naphazoline nitrate reduces the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4), IgE, GMCSF, and NGF。Naphazoline nitrate can be used for non-bacterial conjunctivitis research[1][2].

Summary: Naphazoline nitrate (Chinese name: 硝酸萘甲唑啉, CAS number: 5144-52-5, molecular formula: C14H15N3O3, molecular weight: 273.287) is a white solid with a melting point of 167-170°C and is used for treating symptoms such as the common cold, rhinitis, and nasal congestion. For research-use only, not for medical or clinical usage.

In Vivo Naphazoline nitrate (0.2 mg/kg, 10 µl per eye; IP, once) reduces histamine or antigen-induced conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability in mice, and reduces conjunctivitis in mice via effects on inflammation, NGF and VEGF[1]. Animal Model: Female wild-type BALB/c mice (4-5 weeks, 18 ± 2 g, n=8/group, allergic conjunctivitis mouse model established using histamine or an antigen (ovalbumin))[1] Dosage: 0.2 mg/mL, 10 µl per eye Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (IP), once Result: Significantly suppressed conjunctival dye leakage in mice with histamine or antigen‑induced conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability. Reduced inflammatory reactions and the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, and IL-4. Reduced the levels of IgE, GMCSF, NGF and VEGF in antigen-induced conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability mice.
