New cards

what enzyme does Ketotifen fumarate inhibit

phosphodiesterase and inflammatory mediator release

19
New cards

the second generation of H-1 antihistaminic agents was focused on agents with

lower sedation potential and reduced binding affinities of off-target receptors

20
New cards

first Second generation H-1 Antihistaminics examples

Astemizole and Terfenadine (pulled off the market due to serious cardiovascular toxicity)

21
New cards

It shows little to no activity at off-targets and does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

fexofinadine

22
New cards

manage symptoms of allergic rhinitis, wheal formation, urticaria, and other allergic dermatologic conditions

loratadine

23
New cards

active descarboethoxy metabolite of loratadine

desloratadine

24
New cards

desloratadine has long lasting effect and does not cause

drowsiness bc it does not cross the BBB

25
New cards

it is indicated for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis

Alcaftadine

26
New cards

Alcaftadine decreases chemotaxis and

inhibition of eosinophil activation

27
New cards

effective in the treatment of various allergic symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, hives, and other symptoms

cetirizine and levocetirzine

28
New cards

Levocetirizine is also indicated to

uncomplicated skin manifestations of chronic idiopathic urticaria

29
New cards

Second generation H-1 Antihistaminic: Phthalazinone

Azelastine

30
New cards

Azelastine is available as an intranasal spray for the treatment of

allergic and vasomotor rhinitis and as an ophthalmic solution for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.

31
New cards

FDA approved in June 2021 through a process called a partial prescription to nonprescription switch

Azelastine

32
New cards

what is an important structural feature of Azelastine

middle ring with 2 N and a ketone

33
New cards

Second generation H-1 Antihistaminic: Dibenzoxepine

Olopatadine

34
New cards

Olopatadine is a mast cell

stabilizer that works by attenuating inflammatory and allergic reactions.

35
New cards

used for the symptomatic treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis

Olopatadine

36
New cards

structurally, olopatadine contains

an acidic group (CA) and a long alkyl chain that connects the tertiary amine

37
New cards

the therapeutic application of histamine H-2 antagonist is related to the treatment of

acidic-peptic disorders such as, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers

38
New cards

Selective agonist H2>H1

5-Methyl histamine, add a methyl group to the ring in histamine

39
New cards

N-Guanylhistamine

Partial H2 agonist

2 Nh2 groups with a double bond on one

40
New cards

Full H2 antagonist, low potency and poor bioavailability

Burimamide

long chain, doubled bonded S between 2 Ns

42
New cards

First clinically used H-2 receptor antagonist (inverse agonist) inhibiting gastric acid secretion

Cimetidine hydrochloride

43
New cards

Cimetidine hydrochloride binds to H2 receptors located on

basolateral membrane of the gastric parietal cell blocking histamine's effect

44
New cards

the competitive inhibition of cimedtidine results in

reduced gastric acid secretion and a reduction in gastric volume and acidity

58
New cards

TheH-4 receptors also have a role in

pruritus and neuropathic pain

59
New cards

Because of the unique localization and function of H-4 receptors, H-4 receptor antagonists are currently under clinical evaluation for their potential therapeutic exploitation in

inflammatory disorders such as atopic dermatitis, as well as investibular disease

60
New cards

H-1 histamine receptor antagonists (first and second generation) were developed mainly for treatment of

allergic disease

61
New cards

The H-2 receptor antagonists inhibit acid production by

reversibly competing with histamine for binding to H-2 receptors on the basolateral membrane of parietal cells.
