Cardiovascular studies with SK&F 93319, an antagonist of histamine at both H1- and H2-receptors. 1984

C A Harvey, and D A Owen

Cardiovascular studies have been made in anaesthetized cats with SK&F 93319, an antagonist of histamine at both H1- and H2-receptors. SK&F 93319, 8 X 10(-8) and 4 X 10(-7) mol kg-1 min-1 antagonized depressor responses to injections of histamine and the maximum displacement of histamine dose-response curves exceeded that which can be obtained with either an H1-receptor antagonist or an H2-receptor antagonist alone. SK&F 93319, 8 X 10(-8) and 4 X 10(-7) mol kg-1 min-1, also caused dose-dependent antagonism of histamine-induced falls in blood pressure and total peripheral resistance during intravenous infusions of histamine. SK&F 93319 inhibited depressor responses to intravenous injections of 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine, dimaprit and impromidine. The displacement of the 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine dose-response curve was similar to the displacement of histamine dose-response curves. SK&F 93319 caused greater displacement of dimaprit or impromidine dose-response curves than of histamine or 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine dose-response curves. SK&F 93319 was an effective antagonist of histamine, 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine or dimaprit-induced vasodilatation in femoral and gastric vasculature. SK&F 93319 has been shown to be an effective antagonist of vascular responses to histamine in anaesthetized cats. SK&F 93319 appeared to be more effective as an H2-receptor antagonist than as an H1-receptor antagonist in these vascular studies.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

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.

D006635	Histamine H2 Antagonists	Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H2 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of histamine. Their clinically most important action is the inhibition of acid secretion in the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers. Smooth muscle may also be affected. Some drugs in this class have strong effects in the central nervous system, but these actions are not well understood.
