Abstract

In addition to their antihistamine effects, H1-receptor antagonists possess pharmacological properties that are not uniformly distributed among this class of drugs, such as antiinfl ammatory effects, antiplatelet activity, supression of respiratory burst of professional phagocytes [1]. In our previous study, we compared the effects of dithiaden and another selected H1-antihistamines on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by stimulated phagocytes [2]. Since the antioxidative effects of H1-antagonists are closely related to their anti-infl ammatory activity, we have compared fourteen H1-antihistamines from different pharmacological generations on the respiratory burst of phagocytes and their antioxidative properties in cell-free systems in vitro.
