    Notes: Abstract 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA, 1 to 30 ng/ml) produced a dose-related inhibition of substance P (SP)-induced histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. TPA itself induced some histamine release over this concentration range (maximum release about 20% of total). Maximum inhibition of SP-induced release by TPA required preincubation with TPA for at least 10 min. The inhibitory action of TPA was observed in the absence as well as in the presence of extracellular calcium (0.4 mM). Inhibition of diacylglycerol kinase by R 59022 or of diacylglycerol lipase by RHC 80267 reduced SP-induced histamine release. Oleolylacetylglycerol (OAG, 50 μM) inhibited histamine release induced by SP but was less potent than TPA. It is concluded that protein kinase C activation in rat peritoneal mast cells is associated with inhibition of SP-induced histamine release.

    Notes: Abstract The CGRP antagonist, CGRP8-37, antagonized the ability of CGRP to increase blood flow in human skin and cause erythema. The mechanism of the antagonist effect of CGRP8-37 on the CGRP-induced erythema was an increase by the antagonist of the rate of decay of the CGRP-induced erythema. Since CGRP8-37 activates rat peritoneal mast cells to release their granular contents, we conclude that the degradation of CGRP by protease released from skin mast cells by CGRP8-37. It was not possible to demonstrate any antagonistic effect of CGRP8-37 on the CGRP receptor mediating increased blood flow in human skin.

    Notes: [Auszug] WE examined the effects of dilutions of anti-lgE from 102 to 1060 on human basophil degranulation. The original paper1 stated that anti-lgE dilutions were effective only if vigorously shaken (succussed) during preparation. We have compared the effects of succussed anti-lgE, unsuccussed anti-lgE and ...

    Notes: Abstract Betahistine produced a concentration-dependent contraction of the guinea-pig ileum and was about 27 times less active than histamine in this respect. Betahistine induced desensitization of contractile responses to histamine in the guinea-pig ileum. The H1 histamine receptor antagonist mepyramine was a competitive antagonist of the action of betahistine on the guinea-pig ileum. Betahistine caused relaxation of the rat uterus contracted by acetylcholine, and this action of betahistine was blocked by the H2 receptor antagonist cimetidine. Betahistine had a concentration-dependent positive chronotropic action on isolated guinea-pig atria, and in this respect was tenfold less potent than histamine. The action of betahistine on the atria was blocked by the H2 receptor antagonist YM11170. Betahistine caused a concentration-related contraction of the isolated lung parenchymal strip of the guinea-pig, and YM11170 potentiated this effect. Betahistine failed to release histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells at concentrations up to 100 μM and it did not prevent histamine release induced by either substance P or anti-IgE. Betahistine produced a dose-related flare and wheal reaction when injected intradermally into human skin. It is concluded that betahistine has agonist activity at both H1 and H2 receptors for histamine.
