mast cells, basohils, nerve cells (hypothalamus), enterochrmaffin-like cells (stomach fundus)
What triggers histamine release from mast cells?
IgE attaches to FcE receptor --> cross linked by multivalent antigen

Which histamine receptors are found in the uterus cells?
H1, H2
Bone marrow/hematopoietic cells
++H4
If not stated, which histamine receptor do you assume to be primarily present?
H1
Which histamine receptor is effects the following? 1. Itching & pain… 2. Vasodilation… 3. Edema… 4. Tachycardia/vent contraction… 5. Bronchoconstriction… 6. Diarrhea… 7. Axonal reflex… 8. Gastic acid secretion… 9. Gastric acid inhibition… 10. CNS (post hyprothalamus) stimulation... 11. CNS inhibition... 12 bone marrow.
1. Itching & pain: H1>H3… 2. Vasodilation: H1>H2… 3. Edema: H1… 4. Tachycardia/vent contraction H2>H1… 5. Bronchoconstriction H1… 6. Diarrhea H1… 7. Axonal reflex: H1>H2=H3… 8. Gastic acid secretion: H2… 9. Gastric acid inhibition: H3… 10. CNS (post hyprothalamus) stimulation: H1>H2... 11. CNS inhibition: H3... 12 bone marrow: H4.
Which histamine receptor is usually involved in inhibition?
H3
Which receptor superfamily do histamine receptors belong to?
GPCR
None
T/F histamine GPCR are constituitively active.
TRUE, which means they can trigger downstream events without being stimulated
None
give the intracellular signaling pathway for H1 receptors.
Excite: cGMP, Ca, Phospholipase A2, C&D, inositol, diacyl glycerin, NFkB, cAMP, NOS
give the intracellular signaling pathway for H2 receptors.
Excite: cAMP, Ca, phospholiase C, portein kinase C, c fos
give the intracellular signaling pathway for H3 & H4 receptors.
Inhib: Ca, Map kinase, inhibition of cAMP
which histamine receptors are inhibitory and which are excitatory?
inhib: H3 H4… excit: H1 and H2
In terms of the clinical indication of 1st and 2nd generation antagonist drugs for H1, what is the difference? (hint: antiallergic, sedation, motion sickness)
1st generation: antiallergic, sedation, motion sickness… 2nd generation: antiallergic
What is the primary clinical indication for H2 antagonists?
Lower gastric acid secretion (acid reflux, ulcer, gastritis)
What are the potential uses for H3 antagonists?
cognitive disfunction, such as ADHD, alzheimer's and schizophrenia
Which are more selective of the H1 antagonists, 1st or 2nd generation?
second… thus first generation H1 antagonists are used to treat for more disease than 2nd generation
Which can cross the blood-brain-barrier, H1 antagonist first generation or second? Can these BBB crossing drugs effect other receptors, such as serotonin or muscarinic?
H1 first generation… yes
name three H1-antagonist first generation drugs, which of these three is the fastest acting?
diphenhydramine, hydoxyzine and meclizine (meclizine is the fastest acting, 1-hr… the others are 2 hours)
None
Which first generation H1 antagonist is use to treat motion sicknes and vertigo? And which are used to treat allery?
meclizine=motion sickness… diphenhydramine and hydroxyzine = allergy
what is the duration of action for diphenhyramine, hydoxyzine and meclizine?
diphenhyramine 12 hr , hydoxyzine 24 hr and meclizine 8-24 hr
what are the 3 effects of H1 receptor antagonist for first generation?
antiallergic, antiinflammation, decreased neurotransmission (sedation)
Name the other receptors H1 receptor antagonist binds to.
Muscarinic , alpha adrenergic , serotonin , cardiac ion channels
what are the effects that an H1 receptor antagonist has when bound to the following receptors: Muscarinic , alpha adrenergic , serotonin , cardiac ion channels
Muscarinic (dry mouth, urinary retention, sinus tachycardia), alpha adrenergic (hypotention, dizziness), serotonin (increased appetite), cardiac ion channels (prolonged QT interval and arrythmias)
what is the benefit of 2nd generation H1 receptor antagonist?
more specificity: primarily only binds to H1 receptors and doesn't cross the BBB --> used antiallergic and antiinflammatory (with decreased sedation)
name 3 second generation H1 receptor antagonist. What is the main indication for these drugs?
cetirizine, loratadine, fexofenadine… allergy

Why is cromolyn sodium only used topically (i.e., inhaler, nasal spray, eye drops or oral for GI allergies)?
Cromolyn is poorly absorbed
What is the mechanism of action for cromolyn sodium?
cromolyn sodium inhibits delayed chloride channels by stabilizing the membrane of mast cells, nerves (of airway) and eosinophils
