Antagonistic activities of Mequitazine (LM-209) on chemical mediators and in particular histamine were investigated in guinea-pigs, mice and rats. The antagonistic activity of LM-209 for histamine in the isolated ileum and trachea of guinea-pigs was less potent than that for clemastine fumarate (CL) and chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) while that for acetylcholine was more potent than CL and CPM. Moreover, the antagonistic activities of these three compounds on serotonin and bradykinin were almost equipotent in the excised ileum. Using a modified Konzett-Rössler method, the bronchodilating effect of LM-209 (p.o.) for histamine was same as CL, but that for acetylcholine was more potent than CL and CPM. The protective activity of LM-209 (p.o.) on acute death induced by histamine and metacholine in mice was the same as CL, but the duration of the anti-histaminic action was markedly longer than CL. LM-209 given orally inhibited markedly the increased vascular permeability by histamine in rats and the diarrhea by 5-HTP in mice, but did not affect on the histamine-induced ulcer in guinea-pigs. From these results, LM-209 appears to have potent and long acting antagonistic activity on various chemical mediators.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D008297 Male Males
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments. Inotropism,Muscular Contraction,Contraction, Muscle,Contraction, Muscular,Contractions, Muscle,Contractions, Muscular,Inotropisms,Muscle Contractions,Muscular Contractions
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D001920 Bradykinin A nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from KALLIDIN in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. Bradykinin is also released from MAST CELLS during asthma attacks, from gut walls as a gastrointestinal vasodilator, from damaged tissues as a pain signal, and may be a neurotransmitter.

D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.
