HISTAMINE
⢠Histamine isan important chemical messenger communicating information from one cell to another and
is involved in a variety of complex biologic actions. It is mainly stored in an inactive bound form,
from which it is released as a result of an antigenāantibody reaction initiated by different
stimuli such as venoms, toxins, proteolytic enzymes, detergents, food materials, and numerous
chemicals.
⢠Histamine exerts its biologic function by interacting with at least three distinctly specific receptors H1,
H2, and H3. It was the mediator associated with allergic manifestations. It binds to and activates
specific receptors in the nose, eyes, respiratory tract, and skin, causing characteristic allergic signs and
symptoms.
⢠It also causes contraction of smooth muscles, relaxation of capillaries, and gastric acid secretion.

HISTAMINE
Histamine is β-Imidazolylethylamine. It is synthesized locally from amino acid
histidine. It is stored in mast cell, along with acidic protein heparin.
⢠Histamine is comprised of an imidazole ring connected to an amino group through
ethylene bridge.
⢠It is called as tissue amine & is involved in diversified physiological processes.
Location:
The tissue fixedmast cells & blood basophiles are principle cells where histamine
is stored in secretary granules
Mast cell:
Skin:
Basophile Cell:
Lungs: GIT
Parietal Cell ECC
Bone marrow
Release of Histamine:
ā¢Histamine is released in response to tissue injury, inflammation & allergic
reaction.
⢠An allergen (antigen) interacts with Ab on mast cells.
⢠Once the mast cell Ab-Ag Complex is formed, a series of events occurs.
⢠That series of events leads to cell granulation & release of histamine from
mast cell.
⢠The released histamine bound with histamine receptor.

ANTI-HISTAMINICS
These are thedrugs act against the action of histamine either competively or non
competitively.
H1 Antagonist (Antiallergens):
These are the agents which inhibit binding of histamine at H1 receptor.
H2 Antagonist (Anti-secretary drugs):
These are the agents which is used in peptic ulcer, gastric ulcer, Zollinger-Ellison
Syndrome, as antacid

⢠1st generationantihistamines are more likely to cause sedation in
therapeutic doses affect autonomic receptors (cholinergic
and adrenergic) these are classical/(older)
⢠2nd generation antihistamines are sometimes called ānon-sedatingā
antihistamines. But better call it low-sedating & newer.
⢠3rd generation antihistamines are the active metabolites of 2nd
generation agents
H1 Antagonists
Terminal Nitrogen
Since theantihistamine have a close resemblance with anticholinergic agent, most
of
antihistamine do exhibit anticholinergic action & vice versa.

Pharmacophore
X ray crystallographypredicts that two phenyl & protonated Nitrogen mainly interact with H1
receptor. For proper binding the distance between two aromatic ring should be 4.90 Ao &
between second aromatic ring & protonated nitrogen should be 5.3 Ao.
Antihistamin
e
MOA: H1 Antagonist
Histaminebinding to H1 receptor can
cause allergic and hypersensitivity
reactions s/a fever, itching, dermatitis etc.
Antihistamine are used to treat
these symptoms by inhibiting the
binding of histamine to it`s receptor by
blocking it by competitive antagonism.
H2 Receptor Blocker
TheH2 receptor antagonist are competitive inhibitors of histamine at the parietal
cell H2 receptor. They supress the normal secretion of acid by parietal cells & meal
stimulated secretion of acid. Histamine released by ECL cells in the stomach is blocked
from binding on parietal cell H2 receptors that stimulate acid secretion.

MOA
Receptor antagonist
Histamine actionon gastric acid:
H2 Receptor antagonist
⢠These drugs inhibit the acid production by
reversibly competing with histamine for the binding
with H2-receptor on the basolateral membrane of
parietal cells.
⢠The most predominant effect of H2-receptor
antagonist is on acid secretion.
⢠Histamine on H2-receptors produces cAMP-
dependent protein kinase to elicit the response in the
gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
⢠The H2-antagonists reversibly bind the H2-receptors
and reduce the cAMP formation, which is responsible
for the activation of proton pump and subsequently
reduces the gastric acid formation in the GIT.
Proton Pump Inhibitors
Drugswhich are used to reduce or inhibit gastric acid production &
secretion, are known as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI`s).
These are more potent & longer duration of action than H2 antagonist.
They act by irreversibly blocking H+/K+ ATPase enzyme of gastric
parietal cells.

MOA
of
Proton
Pump
Inhibitors
⢠These drugssuppress gastric acid
secretion through H+ K+ ATPase
pump, the two major signaling
pathways that are present with the
parietal cells, that is, cAMP
dependent and Ca2+.
⢠The respective receptors for the actions
are M3 and H2.
⢠These receptors are modulated through
the respective ionic mechanism and
elicited by the acetylcholine from M3
and histamine from H2 receptor
for release of the gastric acid
mediated through H+ K+ ATPase
pump. The proton pump inhibitors act
on these receptors and inhibit
H+ K+ ATPase and reduce the
activation of parietal cells to
release the gastric acid.
69.
MOA of ProtonPump Inhibitors
The ultimate mediator of acid secretion is the H+ - K+ ATPase ( Proton pump) of the parietal
cell.
All the PPI`s contain a sulphinyl (-SO-) group in a bridge between substituted
benzimidazole & pyridine ring.
At neutral pH these agents are chemically stable, lipid-soluble, weak-bases that are
devoid of inhibitory activity.
These drugs reach parietal cells from the blood gets protonated & thereby trapped. The
protonated
agent rearranges to form a sulphenic acid (-SOH) & Sulphenamide (-SN-).
The sulphenamide interacts covalently with Sulfhydryl (-SH) group of cysteine of the H+/K+
ATPase enzyme i.e Proton Pump, & inhibit irreversibly & thereby blocks gastric acid secretion.
