Notes: Azatadine is an antihistamine with anticholinergic and antiserotonergic activities.{25628},{52335} It is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 3.9 nM).{52336},{32989} Azatadine inhibits histamine- and acetylcholine-induced contractions in isolated guinea pig ilium and contractions induced by serotonin (5-HT; Item No. 14332) in isolated rat uterus (EC50s = 6.5, 10, and 14 nM, respectively).{52335} It delays the onset of dyspnea induced by aerosolized histamine, 5-HT, or acetylcholine in guinea pigs. Azatadine prevents histamine-induced lethality in guinea pigs and paw edema in mice (ED50s = 9 and 68 μg/kg, respectively).{25628} It increases survival in guinea pig and mouse models of anaphylactic shock with 50% protective dose (PD50) values of 0.024 and 0.019 mg/kg, respectively.{52335}
