Effects of flutropium bromide, a new bronchodilator with an anticholinergic action, alone or in combination with other antiasthma drugs were investigated in guinea pigs by using an index of inhibition of the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced bronchoconstriction. Single inhalation of flutropium bromide (0.0003%) into the airways of guinea pigs inhibited the ACh (i.v.)-induced bronchoconstriction without changing the fall in blood pressure induced by ACh. When salbutamol (3 micrograms/kg, i.v.), aminophylline (5 mg/kg, i.v.) or disodium cromoglycate (10 mg/kg, i.v.) was administered in combination with flutropium bromide (0.0003%), bronchodilation was enhanced as compared with single administration of the respective antiasthma drugs. From the above results, it is indicated that inhalation of flutropium bromide provides a more efficient bronchodilation in combination with other antiasthma drugs that possess different mechanisms of antiasthma effects.

D006634 Histamine H1 Antagonists Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H1 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous histamine. Included here are the classical antihistaminics that antagonize or prevent the action of histamine mainly in immediate hypersensitivity. They act in the bronchi, capillaries, and some other smooth muscles, and are used to prevent or allay motion sickness, seasonal rhinitis, and allergic dermatitis and to induce somnolence. The effects of blocking central nervous system H1 receptors are not as well understood.
