In asthmatic patients, tiaramide improved lung function and reduced the need for inhaled beta agonist.34 Tiaramide (2,RHC 2592-A) and its major metabolite, desethanol tiaramide (2,RHC 3281) inhibited IgE- and IgG-mediated histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells and guinea pig lung slices, respectively. 3 5 In other studies, tiaramide inhibited formation of TXA2 and antagonized bronchoconstrictor mediators with selectivity for PGF2a and SRS in guinea pigs. The hydrazine derivative 16 had activity 3 x DSCG in the rat PCA test and also inhibited histamine release from rat mast The pyrimidine urea 17 inhibited IgE-mediated histamine release from human basophils, as well as the PCA in rats.39 The oxamate 18 (MTB) inhibited IgE-mediated histamine release from rat peritoneal cells and the PCA reaction in rats and guinea pigs.4o The orally active antiallergy compound traxanox sodium inhibited histamine release from rat mast cells induced by antigen or compound 48/80 but had only marginal effects on calcium ionophore-induced release. The azaxanthine 19 - (M&B 22,948) was 30 x DSCG as a mediator release inhibitor and was

effective against exercise-induced but not histamine-induced bronchoconstriction (fall in FEV,) in asthmatic patients.42 TR 2855, a chromone that inhibits antigen-induced release of histamine and SRS from passively sensitized human lung, relaxed human bronchial and guinea pig tracheal muscle and caused bronchodilation in guinea pigs. 43 p-Adrenoceptor Agonists - Clinical trials in asthmatic patients of the p2-agonists terbutaline, albuterol, fenoterol and carbuterol failed to differentiate between the group in that all four compounds showed the side effects of tremor and t a c h y ~ a r d i a . ~ ~ Another ' ~ ~ study with two new highly selective p2-agonists D-2343 (20) and QH25 (21) also failed to separate bronchodilator and tremorigenic effects and concluded that the p2-adrenoceptor in bronchial muscle and skeletal muscle are the same.46 D-2343 and QH25 were found to have a potency of 0.2 x terbutaline and 12 x albuterol, respectively.47 Although clenbuterol showed a selectivity for p2-adrenoceptorsY its high agonist potency was attributed to high affinity for the fi-adrenoceptor rather than efficient adrenoceptor activation.48 In patients with reversible airway obstruction, procaterol exhibited a dramatic bronchodilator effect with duration up to 12 h.49 An FDA study commission has concluded from recent animal studies that cardiac toxicity of p-adrenoceptor agonists was enhanced by concomitant administration of methyl xanthines There are , however , conflicting reports; in a study of albuterol and theophylline in ~ o m b i n a t i o n and ~ ~ a second study of theophylline and terbutaline results indicated that low-dose bronchodilator/theophylline combinations gave better bronchodilation with fewer tremors and tachycardia than a high dose of either drug alone.52 In a different context the combination of fenoterol and ipratropium, an anticholinergic bronchodilator (see below), achieved bronchodilatory efficacy similar to high doses of fenoterol alone but with fewer side effects.13

no antiallergic effect being observed.'* The terbutaline pro-drugs KWD 2183 (g) and D 2438 (2)were potent bronchodilators in guinea pigs and maintained therapeutic plasma levels in dogs for 23 h and 12 h respectively. These compounds caused a significantly smaller increase in heart rate than did terbutaline.55 The bronchodilatory activity of 26 was found to be in the 2-isomer as was the case for its parent TMQ (g).56 The g-methyl derivatives, 27 and 2 8 , were 15- and 4-times more selective for p2-adrenoceptors over E-adrenoceptors than TMQ. 57

A study of the four drugs isoprenaline, terbutaline, albuterol, and soterenol as to the effect of N-aralkyl substitution indicated that this substitution increased 8 2 - and al-adrenoceptor selectivity with the 8 2 effect most noticeable with soterenol.5s

Calcium-Antagonist - Verapamil and nifedipine were found to inhibit exercise- induced b ronchoconstric tion in asthmatic subjectsP9 while in animal studies nifedipine was found to inhibit bronchoconstriction induced by histamine in both guinea pigs60 and dogs.61 In an in vitro study, methoxyverapamil (D-600) inhibited concanavalin A-induced histamine release and calcium ion influx in rat peritoneal mast cells but did not inhibit compound 48/80-induced histamine release.62 Verapamil inhibited experimental anaphylaxis in guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle but failed to inhibit histamine release from tracheal mast cells.63 Nifedipine inhibited the PCA reaction in rats with a potency 50 x DSCG but did not inhibit skin reactions induced by histamine or methacholine. Corticosteroids - The mechanism whereby anti-inflammatory steroids inhibit IgE-mediated histamine release from human leukocytes was explored. It was shown that overnight culture of cells with dexamethasone did not alter either total or occupied Fc receptor number and indirect considerations eliminated the possibility the CAMP levels had changed.65 Additionally, it was found that dexamethasone failed to inhibit histamine release from human leukocytes induced by TPA, A23187 or F - m e t - l e u - ~ h e or ~ ~ from purified human lung mast cells challenged with anti-IgE.66 Budesonide inhibited antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in actively sensitized guinea pigs immunized to produce both IgE and IgG antibodies but failed to affect bronchoconstriction in animals that only produced IgG antibodies,67 Following overnight preincubation, betamethasone inhibited release of SRS from passively sensitized human lung but did not affect histamine release.68 In two clinical ~ t u d i e s ~ ~ ' ~ ' dealing with hayfever and chronic asthma, budesonide was found to be

Miscellaneous The imidazole 29 (SQ 80,338) and the prostaglandin analog 30 (SQ 24775), both inhibited arachidonate-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig but failed to alter histamine or antigeninduced bronchoconstriction. SQ 80.338 inhibited release of TXA2 from

isolated guinea pig lung.74 Astemizole, a histamine HI-antagonist with high affinity and long duration, was effective for allergic rhinitis with no sedative or cholinergic side effect^.'^'^^ Clinical studies of terfenadine (RMI 9918) have shown it to be an effective anti-HI antihistamine with no anticholinergic, CNS or CV side effect^.^^-'^ In guinea pigs and monkeys terfenadine produced no adrenergic or histamine H2-antagonism.

fects in asthmatic patients were reportedly due to absence of a 1nitrogen substituent.82 BB1502 (32) was reported to be a bronchodilator with long duration in allergic asthma in guinea pigs when administered prior to allergic challenge.83 The pyrimidobenzothiazole 2 and its 8-chloro analog 34 inhibited allergic bronchospasm in rats with E D ~ ~ s of 0.38 and 0.11 mg/kg, r e ~ p e c t i v e l y . ~Inhaled ~ thiazinamium chloride

showed potent bronchodilator activity with rapid onset and moderate duration and no motor or CV effects in guinea pigs and monkeys.85 Inhaled ipratropium bromide, an anticholinergic agent, was found to be a clinically effective bronchodilator with a low incidence of side effects.86-89 The pyrazolo-pyrimidine 35 and the pyrazolotriazine 6 were PDE inhibitors with potencies 15x and 67x theophylline respectively. 36 was selective for lung PDE over heart PDE and protected against histamine-induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs. y 9 1
