Conversion of the basic tertiary amino function of the potent antihistamine, azatadine (Optimine), to neutral carbamate function results in compounds which retain significant antihistamine activity with little or no CNS effects. In guinea pigs the N-ethoxycarbonyl derivative 4 had the same antihistamine potency as terfenadine, a clinically used non-sedating antihistamine. In mice, 4 was a potent antihistamine while lacking CNS effects. The 8-chloro-N-ethoxycarbonyl 5 (loratadine, Sch 29851) was the most potent antihistamine in the series, had no CNS side effects, and was selected for clinical evaluation.

D006633	Histamine Antagonists	Drugs that bind to but do not activate histamine receptors, thereby blocking the actions of histamine or histamine agonists. Classical antihistaminics block the histamine H1 receptors only.	Antihistamine,Antihistamines,Histamine Antagonist,Antagonist, Histamine,Antagonists, Histamine
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017336	Loratadine	A second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Unlike most classical antihistamines (HISTAMINE H1 ANTAGONISTS) it lacks central nervous system depressing effects such as drowsiness.	4-(8-Chloro-5,6-dihydro-11H-benzo(5,6)cyclohepta(1,2-b)pyridin-11-ylidene)-1-piperidinecarboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester,Alavert,Claritin,Clarium,Sch-29851,Sch 29851,Sch29851
