General description

Compound 48/80, is the condensation product of N-methyl p-methoxyphenethylamine and formaldehyde.

Application

Compound 48/80 has been used:
  • to stimulate hemocytes for histamine release for measurement in ELISA and flow cytometry
  • to induce mast cell degranulation
  • to induce anaphylactic activity, dermatitis, pruritis, inflammation in mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

Compound 48/80 (C 48/80) is a hypotensive agent, which promotes release of histamine. C 48/80 reduces the phagocytic ability of hemocytes in Styela plicata. C 48/80 promotes degranulation of mast cells. It Inhibits calmodulin, phospholipase C, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ ATPase and activates G proteins.

Preparation Note

Condensation product of N-methyl-p-methoxyphenethylamine with formaldehyde.

Compound 48/80 inhibited phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity from human platelets. Whereas 1 microgram/ml of compound 48/80 slightly stimulated Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2, higher concentrations led to dose-dependent inhibition of this platelet enzyme. This biphasic effect was confirmed with phospholipases A2 purified
