✦ Synopsis


Intravenous administration of mequitamium iodide (LG 30435) prevented the increase of tracheobronchial vascular permeability induced either by antigen challenge or by exogenous histamine in the guinea-pig, while it was ineffective against PAF, serotonin or capsaicin. These findings indicate that mequitamium iodide selectively interferes with the effect of histamine on airway microvascular leakage, mediated by histamine H1 receptors, and is more potent than diphenhydramine, mequitazine or astemizole. Histamine receptor antagonism is likely to be major determinant of the antiallergic activity of the compound, although additional mechanisms may be involved.

Increased numbers of eosinophils and increased concentrations of plasma proteins have been found in the airways of patients with mild asthma. We used an intact guinea pig trachea model to investigate the role of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) in altering the function of the airway epithelial barrier. E
