3. Autocoids
3
Autos- Self, Akos- healing substance or remedy
Diverse substance produced by variety of cells in the body
having intense biological activity, but act locally.
Local hormones
Classical autocoids-
Amine autocoids- Histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine

Histamine
4
Tissue amine, Histos- Tissue
Present within storage granules of mast cell.
Histamine rich tissues = Skin, Gastric and intestinal
mucosa, Lungs, Liver, Placenta.
Major mediator of allergy and inflammatory process.
Significant role in the regulation of gastric acid secretion,
neurotransmission and immune modulation.
Histamine is also present in blood, most body secretions,
venoms and pathological fluids.

Histamine
Synthesis,storageanddegradation
5
β imidazolylethylamine
Synthesized locally from the
amino acid histidine and
degraded rapidly by
oxidation and methylation.
Release = Histamine
contain positive charge held
by acidic protein and
heparin (negative charge).
When granules are broken by exocytosis = Na+ is exchanged by Histamine.
Decarboxylation of the amino acid L-Histidine
yields Histamine

Gastric secretion:
Allergic phenomena:
Exposure of an antigen to a previously
sensitized(exposed) subject can immediately
trigger allergic reactions
¨If sensitized by IgE antibodies attached to their
surface membranes, mast cells will degranulate
when exposed to the appropriate antigen &
release histamine, ATP and other mediators
As transmitter: believed to be the afferent transmitter which initiates
the sensation of itch and pain at sensory nerve endings.
Inflammation: mediator of vasodilatation

2. Second-Generation Antihistamine Classes
22. 22
A. AMINOALKYL ETHERS (ETHANOLAMINES)
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride
2-(diphenylmethoxy)-N,N-
dimethylethanamine hydrochloride
(Benadryl)
Dimenhydrinate
The 8-chlorotheophyllinate (theoclate)
salt of diphenhydramine, 8-
chlorotheophylline
2-(diphenylmethoxy)-N,N-
dimethylethylamine (Dramamine)
Recommended for nausea of motion
sickness and for hyperemesis gravidarum
(nausea of pregnancy)
Other therapeutically useful derivatives of
diphenthydramine have been obtained by para
substitution
of methyl (methyldiphenhydramine), methoxy
(medrylamine), chloro (chlorodiphenhydramine), or
bromo
(bromodiphenhydramine) on one of the phenyl rings.
N, N-dimethylethanolamine derivatives

A. AMINOALKYL ETHERS (ETHANOLAMINES)
Bromodiphenhydramine Hydrochloride
2-[(4-bromophenyl)-phenylmethoxy]-N, N-
dimethylethanamine hydrochloride
(Ambodryl Hydrochloride)
Doxylamine Succinate
The acid succinate salt (bisuccinate) of
doxylamine, 2-[-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]-
-methylbenzyl]pyridine bisuccinate
(Decapryn Succinate)
30. 30
F. DIBENZOCYCLOHEPTENES AND DIBENZOCYCLOHEPTANES
The dibenzocycloheptene and dibenzocycloheptane
antihistamines may be regarded as phenothiazine
analogs in which the sulfur atom has been replaced by an
isosteric vinyl group or a saturated ethyl bridge.
Azatadine Maleate
Cyproheptadine
Hydrochloride

2. Second-Generation Antihistamine Classes
-lower sedation potential and reduced binding affinities for nontarget
proteins
including muscarinic, adrenergic, and serotonergic receptors.
Terfenadine
Astemizole
- Astemizole and terfenadine proved to be “nonsedating” and target-receptor
selective.
- Serious cardiovascular toxicities (QT prolongation and arrhythmias).
Both astemizole
and terfenadine
have been
withdrawn from
the U.S. market.
33. 33
Further drug design efforts resulted in the discovery of new second-
generation agents, which retained the nonsedating and receptor-
selectivity properties, but lacked the cardiotoxicity of astemizole and
terfenadine.
Acrivastine, an alkene-acid derivative
of
triprolidine
(E)-3-{6-[(E)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-3-
pyrrolidin-1-yl-
prop-1-enyl]pyridin-2-yl}prop-2-enoic acid
34. 34
Cetirizine and Levocetirizine, oxidation metabolites of hydroxyzine
Hydroxyzine
- Does not penetrate or accumulate
in the CNS.
- R-enantiomer is has a 30-fold
higher affinity than the S-
enantiomer, and dissociates
more slowly from H1-receptors.
- Pharmacologically, it displays
the same receptor and CNS
selectivity profile as the
racemate, cetirizine.
36. 36
Loratadine
Loratadine is structurally related to the antihistamines azatadine
and cyproheptadine, and to some tricyclic antidepressants.
It differs from azatadine, in that a neutral carbamate group has
replaced the basic tertiary amino moiety, and a phenyl ring has
been substituted with a chlorine atom.
Ethyl 4-(8-chloro-5,6-dihydro-11H-
benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-
11-ylidene)piperidine-1-carboxylate

INHIBITION OF HISTAMINE RELEASE: MAST CELL STABILIZERS
Stabilize mast cells and inhibit the release of histamine and other
mediators of inflammation.
Cromolyn Sodium
- Nedocromil Sodium
- Lodoxamide Tromethamine
38. 38
Structure activity relationship
(general structure of the H1 receptor antagonist)
Where , Ar1 = Phenyl group
Ar2 Phenyl, benzyl, pyridyl or thenyl group
38
Substitution on aryl group
Replacement of aliphatic N group
With small basic heterocyclic ring
Increased branching on
Substitution between X and N
Modify the potency, metabolism, ability to
reach the site of action & toxicity in vivo.
39. 39
Ar1 and Ar2 substituents
These provide bulk producing antagonistic activity
Generally two aromatic rings - phenyl, benzyl, or an isostere
such as pyridyl;
Pyridyl generally results in more potent compounds than
phenyl
If fused must be non–coplanar as in the three ringed structures
related to TCA’s and phenothiazines
Para substitution with small lipophilic groups increases
potency and decreases metabolism due to decreased ring
hydroxylation.
Ortho or meta substitution reduces antihistaminic activity

40. 40
This diaryl pattern is present in both first- and second-generation
antihistamines.
X
Atom X can be an oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon, which links the side
chain to an “aromatic tail.” The nature of atom X is the basis for the
structural classification of H1 antagonists. The classical H1 antagonists
are divided into six classes based on what X equals:
X =C–O: (Aminoalkyl Ethers)
1. Ethanolamines
2. Propanolamines (clemastine, diphenylpyraline)
X = C
3. Propylamines (Saturated and Unsaturated)
41. 41
X = N:
4. Ethylenediamines
5. Piperazines (Cyclizines) and Tricyclics
6. Miscellaneous: This forms the sixth class of traditional
antihistamines and would include many of the newer
antihistamines since they do not fall into one of the older,
traditional, classes.
