Antihistaminic agents
What is Histamine?
• Histamine consists of an imidazole ring attached to an ethylamine chain;
under physiological conditions, the amino group of the side-chain
is protonated.
• Regulates physiological functions in the gut.
• It has been considered a local hormone (autocoid)
• It acts as a neurotransmitter for the brain, spinal cord, and uterus.
• Histamine is involved in the inflammatory response and has a central
role as a mediator of itching.
• As part of an immune response to foreign pathogens, histamine is
produced by basophils and by mast cells found in nearby connective
tissues.
• Histamine increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood
cells and some proteins, to allow them to engage pathogens in
the infected tissues.
Synthesis and metabolism
• Histamine is derived from the decarboxylation of the amino
acid histidine, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme L-
histidine decarboxylase.
• Rapidly inactivated by its primary degradative
enzymes, histamine-N-methyltransferase or diamine
oxidase.
Storage and Release
• Stored in mast cells in Complex with Heparin (anticoagulant)
• Stored in basophiles in Complex with Chondrotin
• Histamine as stored in mast cells are found almost
everywhere : skin and the mucosal cells of the bronchi,
intestine, urinary tract, and tissues adjacent to the circulation
and within neurons of CNS
• It is released in response to a wide variety of immune
(antigen and antibody) and nonimmune (bacterial products,
xenobiotics, physical effects, and cholinergic effects) stimuli.
Mechanism of action
Histamine exerts its effects primarily by binding to G protein-coupled
histamine receptors, designated H1, H2, H3, and H4.
Histaminic receptors are associated with
• H1: Allergic Reponses
• H2: Gastric acid regulation
• H3: Neurotransmitter release modulation
• H4: Immune system function
R Location Function
H1 • CNS: in the
histaminergic tuberomammillary
nucleus, which projects to the dorsal raphe
, locus coeruleus, and additional structures.
• Periphery: Smooth
muscle, endothelium, mast cells , sensory
nerves
• CNS: Sleep-wake cycle (promotes wakefulness), body,
temperature, nociception, endocrine homeostasis,
regulates appetite, involved in cognition
• Periphery: Causes bronchoconstriction,
bronchial smooth muscle contraction, urinary bladder
contractions, vasodilation, promotes hypernociception
(visceral hypersensitivity), involved in itch
perception and urticaria.
H2 Periphery: Located on parietal
cells, vascular smooth muscle
cells, neutrophils, mast cells, as well as on
cells in the heart and uterus
• Periphery: Primarily involved in vasodilation and
stimulation of gastric acid secretion.
Urinary bladder relaxation.
Modulates gastrointestinal function.
H3
Located in the central nervous system and
to a lesser extent peripheral nervous
system tissue
Autoreceptor and heteroreceptor functions:
decreased neurotransmitter release of
histamine, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin.
Modulates nociception, gastric acid secretion, and food
intake.
H4
Located primarily on basophils and in
the bone marrow. It is also expressed in
the thymus, small intestine, spleen,
and colon.
Plays a role in mast cell chemotaxis, itch perception,
cytokine production and secretion, and visceral
hypersensitivity. Other putative functions (e.g.,
inflammation, allergy, cognition, etc.) have not been fully
characterized.
H1 Receptors
H1 receptors throughout your body, including in neurons (brain cells), smooth
muscle cells of airways and blood vessels
• Itchy skin (pruritus).
• Expanding of blood vessels (vasodilation).
• Low blood pressure (hypotension).
• Increased heart rate (tachycardia).
• Flushing.
• Narrowing of airways (bronchoconstriction).
• Pain.
• Movement of fluids through blood vessel walls (vascular permeability).
• Some of these bodily changes result in sneezing, nasal congestion and runny
nose (rhinorrhea).
• Outside of allergic reactions, H1 receptors also help to regulate:
• Sleep-wake cycles.
• Food intake.
• Body temperature.
• Emotions.
• Memory.
• Learning.
H2 Receptors
• Stomach acid secretion, which helps with digestion.
• Stimulation of mucous glands in your airways.
• Vascular permeability.
• Hypotension.
• Flushing.
• Headache
• Tachycardia.
• Bronchoconstriction.
H3 Receptors
• H3 receptors are mainly involved in blood-brain barrier function.
They’re found in neurons in central nervous system. H3 receptors
regulate the release of histamine
and neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine and acetylcholine.
• Researchers are currently studying H3 receptor antagonist medications
for potential use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
H4 Receptors
• H4 receptors are present in bone marrow and hematopoietic cells
(immature cells that can develop into all types of blood cells). They play
a role in the formation of certain blood cells.
• They also play important roles in inflammatory disorders

Synthesis of Cetrizine
Cetrizine
• The 1-(4-chlorophenylmethyl)-piperazine is alkylated with methyl (2-chloroethoxy)-
acetate in the presence of sodium carbonate and xylene solvent to produce the Sn2
substitution product in 28% yield. Saponification of the acetate ester is done by
refluxing with potassium hydroxide in absolute ethanol to afford a 56% yield of the
potassium salt intermediate. This is then hydrolyzed with aqueous HCl and extracted to
give an 81% yield of the carboxylic acid product.
Autacoids
INTRODUCTION
• AUTACOIDS auto means self, akos means healing
• These are the substances produced by wide variety of
cells in the body, having intense biological activity, but
generally act locally at the site of synthesis and release.
• They have also been called ‘local hormones’.
• Prostaglandins are a group of physiologically active lipid
compounds derived from arachidonic acid (a 20-carbon fatty
acid).
• They are part of a larger group of molecules called
eicosanoids.
• Prostaglandins act like local hormones and are involved in a
wide range of body functions, such as inflammation, blood
flow, the formation of blood clots, and the induction of
labor.
• They are synthesized in almost all tissues and organs and act
locally near the site of synthesis with short half-lives.
Classification of Prostaglandins:
• Prostaglandins are unsaturated carboxylic acids
consisting of of a 20 carbon skeleton that also contains a
five member ring and are based upon prostanoic acid,
which is a C20 fatty acid in which there is a cyclopentane
ring formed by connecting the C8 and C12 positions.
• All prostaglandins share:
• A cyclopentane ring (core)
• Two side chains (at C8 and C12)
• Functional group variations at C9 and C11 define the
subclass.
• Prostaglandins are classified based on the nature and substitution pattern
of the cyclopentane ring,
• This classification is denoted by capital letters such as A, B, C, E, F, etc.,
depending on the functional groups attached to the ring.
Letter Ring Functional Groups
A
Ketone at C9, double bond
between C10–C11
E Ketone at C9, OH at C11
F OH at both C9 and C11
D OH at C9, ketone at C11
I
Prostacyclin (internal epoxide
ring)
G/H
Endoperoxides (intermediates
in biosynthesis)
Nature of adjacent side chain
• The adjacent side chains of prostaglandins are attached at carbon
8 (C-8) and carbon 12 (C-12) of the cyclopentane ring, and they
play a crucial role in the biological activity and specificity of each
prostaglandin.
• α-side chain at C-8 → corresponds to the upper side chain,
carboxyhexyl
• ω-side chain at C-12 → corresponds to the lower side chain,
hydroxy octyl
• Depending on number of double bond in the side chain,
prostaglandins are categorised by giving subscript 1, 2 or 3.
• For example
Nature of Configuration
• α / β Configuration
• Used to describe the orientation of substituents (like OH or H) on the
cyclopentane ring:
• α = below the plane of the ring
• β = above the plane of the ring
• Example: PGF α
₂ has the hydroxyl group at C9 in α-position.
Biosynthesis of Prostaglandins
COOH
CH3
Arachidonic acid
Cyclooxygenase
PGG 2
Peroxidase
PGH2
PG synthase
PGF2
PGD2 PGE2
Metabolism of Prostaglandin
• 15 –OH group of prostaglandin is metabolised by the
enzyme 15 hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase.
• 15- keto group is then reduced to 13, 14 – dihydro
derivative by the enzyme prostaglandin reductase.
• Then oxidation of side chain of prostaglandin giving rise to
polar dicarboxylic acid which is excreted in urine.
SAR OF PROSTAGLANDIN
• In the upper chain: Methyl esters (misoprostal), sulphonamide(sulprostone),
and hydroxyl group (rioprost) possess greater activity than natural
prostaglandins.
• In the cyclopentane ring: Variation in the cyclopentane ring has led to
reduction in PG activity.
• Enlargement of the ring or reduction of ring leads to inactive compounds.
Replacement of carbon atom of cyclopentane ring by O, S, and N leads to
inactive compounds. Replacement of 9 keto group with CH2 group gives
active (metenprost) PG.
Therapeutically useful Prostaglandin
Arbaprostil Carboprost
Uses of Prostaglandin analogue
• Abortion
• Induction of labour
• Peptic ulcer
• Glaucoma
• To avoid platelet damage
• Cancer
• Pulmonary hypertension
Biosynthesis of Leukotriene
Leukotriene receptor antagonists
Leukotriene receptor antagonists are used clinically as an alternative
to steroids in patients with mild, but persistent, symptoms of asthma.
Leukotriene receptor antagonists include montelukast, zafirlukast,
and pranlukast.
• Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used as
part of an asthma therapy regimen, to prevent exercise
induced bronchoconstriction, and to treat seasonal allergic
rhinitis.
• MOA:
• It works by blocking the action of leukotriene D4 in the
lungs resulting in decreased inflammation and relaxation
of smooth muscle.
• Zafirlukast is an orally administered leukotriene
receptor antagonist (LTRA) used for the chronic
treatment of asthma.
• Zafirlukast, like other LTRAs, works by inhibiting the
immune system. Through its action on inflammatory cells
in the lungs, zafirlukast reduces the production of
inflammatory mediators that are implicated in the
pathogenesis of asthma.

    Classification of Prostaglandins: •Prostaglandins are unsaturated carboxylic acids consisting of of a 20 carbon skeleton that also contains a five member ring and are based upon prostanoic acid, which is a C20 fatty acid in which there is a cyclopentane ring formed by connecting the C8 and C12 positions.
  • 55.
    • All prostaglandinsshare: • A cyclopentane ring (core) • Two side chains (at C8 and C12) • Functional group variations at C9 and C11 define the subclass.
  • 56.
    • Prostaglandins areclassified based on the nature and substitution pattern of the cyclopentane ring, • This classification is denoted by capital letters such as A, B, C, E, F, etc., depending on the functional groups attached to the ring.

    Nature of adjacentside chain • The adjacent side chains of prostaglandins are attached at carbon 8 (C-8) and carbon 12 (C-12) of the cyclopentane ring, and they play a crucial role in the biological activity and specificity of each prostaglandin. • α-side chain at C-8 → corresponds to the upper side chain, carboxyhexyl • ω-side chain at C-12 → corresponds to the lower side chain, hydroxy octyl
  • 59.
    • Depending onnumber of double bond in the side chain, prostaglandins are categorised by giving subscript 1, 2 or 3. • For example

    Nature of Configuration •α / β Configuration • Used to describe the orientation of substituents (like OH or H) on the cyclopentane ring: • α = below the plane of the ring • β = above the plane of the ring • Example: PGF α ₂ has the hydroxyl group at C9 in α-position.

    Metabolism of Prostaglandin •15 –OH group of prostaglandin is metabolised by the enzyme 15 hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase. • 15- keto group is then reduced to 13, 14 – dihydro derivative by the enzyme prostaglandin reductase. • Then oxidation of side chain of prostaglandin giving rise to polar dicarboxylic acid which is excreted in urine.
  • 64.
    SAR OF PROSTAGLANDIN •In the upper chain: Methyl esters (misoprostal), sulphonamide(sulprostone), and hydroxyl group (rioprost) possess greater activity than natural prostaglandins. • In the cyclopentane ring: Variation in the cyclopentane ring has led to reduction in PG activity. • Enlargement of the ring or reduction of ring leads to inactive compounds. Replacement of carbon atom of cyclopentane ring by O, S, and N leads to inactive compounds. Replacement of 9 keto group with CH2 group gives active (metenprost) PG.

    Leukotriene receptor antagonists Leukotrienereceptor antagonists are used clinically as an alternative to steroids in patients with mild, but persistent, symptoms of asthma. Leukotriene receptor antagonists include montelukast, zafirlukast, and pranlukast.
  • 75.
    • Montelukast isa leukotriene receptor antagonist used as part of an asthma therapy regimen, to prevent exercise induced bronchoconstriction, and to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis. • MOA: • It works by blocking the action of leukotriene D4 in the lungs resulting in decreased inflammation and relaxation of smooth muscle.
  • 76.
    • Zafirlukast isan orally administered leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) used for the chronic treatment of asthma. • Zafirlukast, like other LTRAs, works by inhibiting the immune system. Through its action on inflammatory cells in the lungs, zafirlukast reduces the production of inflammatory mediators that are implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma.
