Basic pharmacology of histamine

ChemistryPharmacokineticsPharmacodynamics

Distribution

Histamine is widely, if unevenly, distributed throughout the animal kingdom and is present in many venoms, bacteria, and plants.

Chemistry and pharmacokinetics

Metabolism

Storage and release Immunologic release

histamine plays a central role in immediate hypersensitivity and allergic responses

The release of histamine only partially explains the biological effects that ensue from immediate hypersensitivity reactions

Chemical and mechanical release Tubocurarine, succinylcholine, morphine

Pharmacodynamics Mechanism of action Tissue and organ system effect

Nervous system Cardiovascular system Bronchial smooth muscle Gastrointestinal tract smooth muscle Other smooth muscle organs Secretary tissue Metabolic effects The triple response Other effects possibly mediated by histamine

Receptor Subtype

DistributionPostreceptor Mechanism

Partially Selective Agonists

Partially Selective Antagonists

Smooth muscle, endothelium, brain

Gq, IP3, DAG

HistaprodifenMepyramine, triprolidine, cetirizine

Gastric mucosa, cardiac muscle, mast cells, brain

Gs, cAMP

AmthamineCimetidine,1 ranitidine,1 tiotidine

Presynaptic: brain, myenteric plexus, other neurons

Gi, cAMP

R--Methylhistamine, imetit, immepip

Thioperamide, iodophenpropit, clobenpropit,1 tiprolisant1

Eosinophils, neutrophils, CD4 T cells

Gi, cAMP

Clobenpropit, imetit, clozapine

Thioperamide

Nervous system

regulation of drinking body temperature secretion of antidiuretic hormone control of blood pressure perception of pain wakefulness

Cardiovascular System

Vasodilation Increased "Capillary" Permeability Triple Response of Lewis Heart Histamine Shock

Extravascular Smooth Muscle

Contraction is due to activation of H1 receptors

relaxation (for the most part) is due to activation of H2 receptors

Exocrine Glands

regulator of gastric acid secretion

Peripheral Nerve Endings

Pain Itch

Clinical pharmacology of histamine Clinical use

a diagnostic agent to assess nonspecific bronchial

hyperreactivity in asthmatics as a positive control injection during allergy

skin testing Toxicity and contraindications

Flushing, hypotension,tachycardia, headache wheals, brochoconstriction, gastrointestinal upset

Histamine antagonists

H1 receptor antagonists H2 receptor antagonists

Basic Pharmacology of H1 Receptor Antagonists

Chemistry PharmacokineticsPharmacodynamics

Chemistry Structure-

activity Relationship reversible

competitive inhibitors

contain a substituted ethylamine moiety

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption, distribution Metabolism:

Astemizole and Terfenadine

Pharmacological Properties

Smooth Muscle Capillary Permeability Flare and Itch Immediate Hypersensitivity

Reactions Central Nervous System

Can both stimulate and depress the CNS

Pharmacodynamics

Histamine receptor blockade Other actions

Sedation Antinausea and antiemetic actions Antiparkinsonism effects Antichlinoceptor effect: Promethazine Adrenoceptor blocking action Serotonin blocking action Local anesthesia: Promethazine

Clinical pharmacology of H1 receptor antagonists

Clinical use Allergic reaction Motion sickness and vestibular disturbance Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy?

Toxicity Sedation, antimuscarninc action, Drug allergy Drug interaction Teratogenic effects
