Description
Curator's Comment: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13756443; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13768238; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2863106

4,5-diphenylimidazole is an antihistaminic and antiallergic drug. It was shown to be an inhibitor of phenytoin p-hydroxylation in rat hepatic microsomes, however 1-imidazoles had higher inhibitory potency observed at submicromolar concentrations.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Diphenylimidazole (DIT) activity as an antiallergic drug is mentioned in the literature from the early 1960s
