Abstract
Rotenone (1), dihydrorotenone (2), isorotenone (3), mutarotenone (4), and deguelin (12) were found to be potent antagonists of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) in vitro. However, these compounds were also shown to inhibit histamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine at only ten times their IC50 concentrations for SRS-A antagonism. Rotenone (1) and several related compounds were also evaluated in an in vivo guinea pig anaphylaxis model. Several of these compounds and FPL 55712 (I) were effective in prolonging collapse times of animals which received an aerosol challenge of an antigen to which they had been sensitized.
