Azelastine (brand names AZEP, ASTEPRO, ASTELIN etc.) a phthalazine derivative, is an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer available as a nasal spray for hay fever and as eye drops for allergic conjunctivitis. Azelastine is a potent antiallergic compound with histamine H1-receptor antagonist activity and a rapid onset and long duration of action. The major metabolite, desmethylazelastine, also exhibits H1-
receptor antagonist activity. AZEP Nasal Spray is administered as a racemic mixture.
The racemate, R- and S- enantiomers were equally potent at inhibiting eyelid
histamine-induced oedema in rats, however the R-enantiomer was 2-fold less active
at inhibiting eyeball histamine-induced oedema.

Nasal
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Sensitized cultured human mast cells (CHMCs) were pretreated with various concentrations of azelastine or olopatadine for 5 minutes. Then, CHMCs were challenged with anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) and the released mediators were quantitated.
The greatest inhibition of mediator release was seen when cultured human mast cells (CHMCs) were pretreated with 24 uM of azelastine.
