    Notes: Abstract SCH 29851 [8-chloro[6,11-dihydro-11-(1-carboethoxy-4-piperidylidene)-5-H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]-pyridine] was discovered as part of a search for a new antihistamine without effects on the central nervous system (CHS). Antihistaminc potency and duration of action of SCH 29851 and other antihistamines were assessed by inhibition of histamine-induced lethality in guinea pigs and histamine-induced paw edema in mice. Evaluation of possible CNS effects included gross observation of mice, rats, dogs and monkeys, prevention of electroshock-induced convulsions, acetic acid-induced writhing and physostigmine-induced lethality in mice and biochemical measures related to sedative liability such as displacement ofin vivo 3H-mepyramine binding in mouse brain andin vitro 3H-WB 4101 binding in guinea pig cortex. Comparisons were made to several antihistamines considered to be sedative to varying degrees, including diphenhydramine, promethazine, chlorpheniramine and azatadine and to the newer antihistamines terfenadine and astemizole which are reported to be non-sedating in man at doses that antagonize the effects of histamine peripherally. SCH 29851 had antihistamine activity in the tests used with a potency at least comparable to most standards and was devoid of activity in all the functional and biochemical models used as indices of CNS activity. It is expected that SCH 29851 should be an effective, long acting, antihistamine in man without sedative effects at therapeutic doses.

    Notes: Loratadine is a new non-sedating antihistamine. The present studies compared loratadine and terfenadine, another non-sedating antihistamine, for their ability to inhibit the bronchial response to histamine and other autacoids which have been implicated as contributing to the symptoms of an allergic reaction. In addition, the two antihistamines were evaluated in models of immunologically mediated allergic reactions. Loratadine is a more potent inhibitor of histamine-induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs than is terfenadine. Both antihistamines exhibit marked antiserotonin activity at doses 10 times their antihistamine ED50 values. In contrast, loratadine and terfenadine produce little or no inhibition of the bronchial responses to methacholine, leukotriene C4 or platelet-activating factor. An allergic bronchospasm in guinea pigs is inhibited by loratadine (ED50= 0.40 mg/kg, p.o.) and terfenadine (ED50= 1.7 mg/kg, p.o.). The bronchospasm associated with allergic anaphylaxis in rats is significantly inhibited by 10 mg/kg, p.o. loratadine and 30 mg/kg, p.o. terfenadine. Loratadine exhibits antiallergy activity in vitro. At micromolar concentrations, loratadine inhibits the release of histamine from Con A and A23187-stimulated rat peritoneal mast cells and the release of histamine and leukotrine C4 from a Con A-stimulated cloned murine mast cell line

    Notes: Abstract The effects of Con A on free cytoplasmic calcium concentrations in the cloned murine mast cell, MC9, have been measured using the fluorescent calcium indicator quin 2. Con A causes a rapid, small yet sustained rise in free cytosolic calcium (up to 245 nM) followed closely by increased45calcium uptake and more slowly by histamine release. The increases in45calcium uptake and histamine release require extracellular calcium. However, the Ca2+ influx blockers, nifedipine and verapamil inhibit these responses only at concentrations significantly higher than those used in smooth muscle to oppose potential-dependent events, and diltiazem is inactive. These observations suggest that, in these mast cells, other types of channels control Ca2+ entry. In contrast, the intracellular Ca2+ blocker, TMB-8, inhibits both the Con A-induced histamine release and the Ca2+ changes. The calmodulin antagonists calmidazolium, trifluoperazine and W-7 are also highly effective inhibitors of both the Ca2+ changes and histamine release in direct proportion to their potency against calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase, implicating calmodulin in the regulation of stimulus-secretion in MC9 cells. These data imply that histamine release follows increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Free intracellular Ca2+ results from rapid release from internal stores and is followed by a slower but more sustained influx of extracellular Ca2+.
