  Cloxacepride is an orally active and potent antiallergic agent. Cloxacepride is a CaM (calmodulin) antagonist. Cloxacepride has anti-PCA (passive cutaneous anaphylaxis) activity[1][2]. |  [in vivo]
 
 Oral ED50 values for cloxacepride of 46-49 mg/kg were comparable to that of theophylline (HY-B0809) and to an intravenous injection of 2 mg/kg of disodium chromoglycate (DSCG) followed by immediate challenge[1].  
Cloxacepride has anti-PCA activity when administered orally 15 or 60 min before antigenic challenge[1].  |  [References]
