The synthesis and the chemical properties of the compound 3-(10,1 1-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-yloxy)-tropane citratel and a number of its congeners have been described by van der Stelt, Harms, and Nauta (1961). Funcke, de Jonge, Tersteege, Mulder, Harms, and Nauta (1962) outlined the diverse pharmacological properties of deptropine and made particular note of its effect on broncho-co...

Casuarina equisetifolia (Casuarinaceae) is considered a medicinal plant and is traditionally used for the treatment of diarrhoea. Preliminary phytochemical screening of methanolic extract of the aerial bark revealed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, proteins, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids and tannins. The extract reduced contractions in isolated ileum induced by spasmogens like ACh, ...

Clonidine, a α2 adrenoreceptor agonist induces dose dependent catalepsy in mice, which was inhibited by histamine H1 receptor antagonists but not by H2 receptor antagonist. Clonidine releases histamine from mast cells which is responsible for different asthmatic conditions. Clitoria ternatea L. (Family: Fabaceae) is a perimial twing herb. The roots have anti-inflammatory properties and are usef...

Benzimidazole, which is a heterocyclic nucleus, plays an important role in various medicines. A number of therapeutic agents such as H1 antihistaminic agent clemizole, a potent opioid analgesic etonitazene, nonnucleoside antiviral compound enviroxime, for promotion of excretion of uric acid irtemazole, non sedating antihistaminic agent astemizole, anti ulcer drugs omeprazole and pentoprazole, a...

Biologically active heterocyclic compounds comprise of largest & manifold family organic compounds. These include Quinolines, Quinazolines, Aminoquinolines, etc and their derivatives. They exhibit multi-faceted biological properties like analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antifungal, antidepressant, anticancer, antitubercular &antihistaminic. are considered to ...

In the present study a series of 1-substituted-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-s-triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones were synthesized and are screened for their H1-antihistaminic activity. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, H-NMR and mass spectral data; the purity of the compounds was determined by elemental analysis. Antihistaminic activity of the title compounds was evaluated by histami...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the vehicle effect on in vitro diffusion of Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH) from new five topical formulations: microemulsion (A), microemulsion+silica (B), Na Alginate emulgel (C), Carbopol cream (D) and hydroxyethylcellulose gel (E).Furthermore, the skin irritation potential and the formulation effect on skin reaction induced by histamine were investi...

Rocha e Silva and Rosenthal (1) have reported that the exudates from burnt rat skin contain histamine, bradykinin, adenosine derivatives and possibly serotonin and other as yet unidentified pharmacologically active and toxic substances. Hodson (2) has reported the peripheral antiserotonin activity of B.W. 501 C 67 (α-anilino-N-2-m-chlorophenoxypropyl acetamidine hydrochloride monohydrate)...
