描述 | Epinastine (WAL801) is an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. Epinastine shows a high affinity to H1-receptors in receptor binding studies in the guinea pig ileum. Epinastine inhibits histamine-induced reactions in the skin or the lung of rats, dogs and guinea pigs[3]. Epinastine is able to displace specific [3H]NC-5Z binding at low concentrations in the locust nervous tissue. Epinastine binds to the honey bees neuronal octopamine receptor with Ki of 1.1 nM. Epinastine antagonises octopamine-induced cAMP formation in the insect brain. Epinastine could serve as a highly specific antagonist of octopamine receptors that enables physiological dissection of octopaminergic neurotransmission within the nervous system of insects[4]. Epinastine was similarly effective in inhibiting compound 48/80-induced histamine release not only from isolated rat peritoneal mast cells but also from rat mesenterial pieces. The drug was effective in inhibiting not only Ca2+ uptake into lung mast cells in actively sensitized guinea pigs but also Ca2+ release from the intracellular Ca store of rat peritoneal mast cells exposed to both compound 48/80 and substance P. No significant changes were observed in phosphodiesterase activity in rat peritoneal mast cells treated with epinastine, while adenylate cyclase activity was augmented by epinastine[5]. Epinastine shows a dose- and time-dependent suppressive effect on IL-8, one of the chemokines for eosinophils, released from eosinophils isolated from atopic diseases. Epinastine might prevent the autocrine cycle for recruitment of human eosinophils by inhibiting IL-8 release from these cells[6]. |
