Description

Antazoline is an antagonist of histamine H1 receptors. It selectively bind to but does not activate histamine H1 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine. Antazoline in combination with naphazoline (VASOCON-A®) is indicated to relieve the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.

In Vitro Use Guide
The antihistaminic agent, antazoline, was tested for its ability to compete for [3H]pyrilamine, [3H]tiotidine and [3H]N-methyl histamine binding to rodent brain H1, H2 and H3 histamine receptors, respectively. Antazoline exhibited the highest affinity for H1-receptors (dissociation constant, Ki = 38.4 +/- 4.4 nM), and was considerably weaker at H2- (K1 = 44,433 +/- 1,763 nM) and H3-receptors (Ki = 42,400 +/- 7,527 nM).
