Abstract: | From a series of amide analogs of the histamine H1 antagonist, azatadine, a potent, orally active, dual platelet-activating factor (PAF) and histamine antagonist, Sch 37370,
namely 1-acetyl-4-(8-chloro-5,6-dihydro-11H-benzo-5,6]cyclohepta1,2-b]pyridin-11-ylidine)piperidine, was discovered. Sch 37370 selectively inhibits PAF-induced aggregation
of human plateletsin vitro (IC50=0.6 μM), andin vivo inhibits PAF- and histamine-induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs with ED50 values of 6.0 and 2.4 mg/kg p.o., respectively. Sch 37370 is expected to be more efficacious than single mediator antagonists
in allergic diseases, such as asthma.
