    Notes: Abstract AHR-13268D (4-[3-[4-[Bis(4-flurophenyl)hydroxymethyl]-1-piperidinyl]propoxy]benzoic acid, sodium salt) is a potent, long-acting water soluble, antiallergic and antihistaminic agent. AHR-13268D protects sensitive guinea pigs from collapse induced by aerosolized antigen; 1, 5, and 24 h ED50s in the test were 0.27, 0.25, 0.93 mg/kg, PO, respectively. AHR-13268D was also active when given as an aerosol, the 1 h ED50=0.29%. In the rat passivefoot anaphylaxis test, AHR-13268D was slightly more active (1.55 times) than AHR-5333B when given orally 1 h prior to challenge and equipotent to cromolyn when given intravenously immediately prior to challenge. AHR-13268D displayed potent, long-acting antihistaminic activity in naive guinea pigs; the 1, 5, and 24 h oral ED50s being in the range of 0.3 mg/kg. AHR-13268D (10 to 20 mg/kg, PO) attenuated the skin responses to ascaris antigen in sensitive dogs and did not alter the EEG pattern or sleep/wake patterns of cats at doses in vast excess of its antihistaminic activity.In vitro, AHR-13268D was a potent inhibitor of histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (IC50=0.51 nM) and was as potent as the reference 5-LO inhibitor phenidone in inhibiting antigen-induced contractions of guinea pig ileum in the presence of pyrilamine, atropine, and imidazole (IC50∼300 μM). AHR-13268B was bioavailable (∼88%) from capsules or from oral solutions.

    Notes: Abstract Rocastine [AHR-11325, 2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-4-methylpyrido-[3,2-f]-1,4-oxazepine-5(4H)-thione (E)-2-butenedioate)] is a rapid-acting, potent, nonsedating antihistamine. In guinea pigs challenged with a lethal dose of histamine, rocastine is as effective [based on 1 hr. oral, protective dose (PD50s)] as brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine, pyrilamine, and promethazine and superior to astemizole, diphenhydramine, terfenadine, and oxaomide. Rocastine has a faster onset of action than does terfenadine; rocastine being as effective with a 15 min pretreatment time (PD50=0.13 mg/kg) as it is with a 1 hr pretreatment time (PD50=0.12 mg/kg), while the 15 min PD50 of terfenadine (PD50=44.0 mg/kg) is 22 times greater than the 1 hr PD50 (PD50=1.93 mg/kg). Against aerosolized histamine, rocastine was 7.12×, 2.63×, and equipotent to pyrilamine in preventing histamine-induced prostration at pretreatment times of 1, 3, and 6 hr, respectively. Rocastine protected guinea pigs from collapse induced by aerosolized antigen; rocastine was ∼36 × more potent (based on 1 hr PD50) than diphenhydramine and as potent as oxatomide and terfenadine. Rocastine did not alter the EEG of cats at doses in vast excess (150×) of its antihistaminic dose nor did it potentiate yohimbine toxicity in mice. Further, rocastine possesses no anticholinergic, antiadrenergic, or antiserotonergic propertiesin vitro. Rocastine is a selective, nonsedating, H1-antagonist with a rapid onset of action.
