Mequitazine

SKU: orb1222405

Description

Mequitazine is a potent histamine H1 antagonist or antihistamine. It competes with histamine for the normal H1-receptor sites on effector cells of the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels and respiratory tract. Mequitazine provides effective, temporary relief of sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, and runny nose due to hay fever and other upper respiratory allergies.(In Vitro):Mequitazine is a potent H1-receptors selective antihistaminic drug widely studied and used for allergic disorders such as hay fever and urticaria. Mequitazine demonstrates significant bactericidal effects against all the tested clinical isolates including Ps. aeruginosa. Its effect against the Gram-positive isolates is more pronounced(In Vivo):Mequitazine and clemizole antagonize the effect of histamine in guinea-pig ileum competitively. Mequitazine at 107 produces a parallel shift of the dose-response curve to acetylcholine in the rat duodenum. Mequitazine at highest concentration shows anticholinergic activity. Mequitazine inhibits contractile responses to KCl, phenylephrine (PE), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and Ca2+ in rat aorta.
