  1. Antihistaminic and drugs acting on GIT: • Histamine is an important chemical messenger. • Distributed within the mast cells and released as a result of antigen-antibody (IgE) reaction initiated by different stimuli. • This will lead to mast cell membrane alteration and the release of histamine that will interact with certain receptors called histaminic receptors.

  2. Histamine • Plays an important role as a stimulant of gastric secretion from the parietal cells. • Has neurotransmission role in the CNS responsible for: • Alertness. • Hormone release. • Feeding and drinking. • Sexual behavior. • Analgesia.

  3. Histaminic receptors • Of Four types:H1 to H4. • H1-activation: • Smooth muscle contraction in GIT, uterus and bronchi. • Relaxation of capillaries….. Increase permeability… results in edema. • H2-activation: • Gastric secretion. • Hypotension due to vascular dilatation. • H3-activation: • Most important in CNS: regulate histamine in the body, by inhibiting the further synthesis of histamine. • H4-activation: • regulate the levels of white blood cell release from bone marrow.

  4. Histamine • It has two basic centers. • At acidic pH it forms the di-cation compound • At physiological pH it presents as monocation.

  5. Anti-allergic agents • Allergy: is the physiological response to a foreign chemical or physical condition… cause symptoms such as hay fever, pruritus, dermatitis, rashes, and anaphylactic shock (systemic allergic reaction that may lead to death). • Anti-allergic agents block some of the action of histamine.

  6. Histamine as a lead: • SAR for histamine: • The amino group should be positively charged and attached to at least one hydrogen atom. • It should have flexible chain between the amino and the aromatic ring. • The heteroaromatic did not have to be imidazole. • All Histamine analogues did not show promising H1-antagonist activity, they have shown either low agonist or no activity.

  7. H1-antagonists: • Ethylenediamine derivatives: • Phenbenzamine was used as a model for the synthesis of H1-antagonists using the general structure of

  8. Ethylenediamine derivatives • R1 and R2 should be small (CH3) for maximum H1-antagonist activity. • Ar1 and Ar2 can be benzene ring or any other isosteric rings such as heterocycles. • One of the aromatic should be benzyl for better activity which has P-substitution.

  9. Ethylenediamine derivatives • Isosteric rings to benzene: • All H1-antagonists are dispensed as water soluble salts.

  10. Bioisosterism • Bioisosteres are groups with similar physical and chemical properties which produce almost the same biological and pharmacological response or effect. • The aim of using such groups are: • Minimizing the possible side effects. • Prolong the duration of action. • Produce potent agents. • Increase physical and biological stability of drugs

  11. Ethylenediamine derivatives • Examples:

  12. Aminoalkyl ether analogues • Closely related to ethylenediamine derivatives. • Examples:

  13. Cyclic analogues of ethylenediamine • They have mainly CNS depressant effects. • Main uses: • In allergy. • As antiemetic agents. • In motion sickness.

  14. Cyclic analogues of ethylenediamine • All have hydrophobic group attached to the terminal amino group for • better activity compared to ethylenediamine derivatives. • They have a rigidified ethylenediamine structure. • Lower incidence of drowsiness. • They have antimuscarinic activity.

  15. Propylamines (monoaminoproprylamines) • Mainly have a phenyl and 2-pyridyl groups, and a terminal dimethylamino moiety. • The hydrophobic linker should have either sp2 or sp3 carbons. • They are less sedating compared to the ethylenediamine derivatives. • The Senantiomer is the most active form.

  16. Propylamines (monoaminoproprylamines)

  17. H1-antagonists with decreased sedative effects • The major side effect of H1-antagonists is sedation due to the interaction with cerebral H1 and H3 -receptors. • Strategies to decrease sedation: • Increase selectivity to the peripheral compared to the central H1-receptors. • increase polarity of classic H1-receptors to decrease the ability to penetrate the BBB.

  18. H1-antagonists with decreased sedative effects • these non-sedating antihistamines have greater receptor specificity, • lower penetration of blood-brain barrier, and are less likely to cause drowsiness

  19. H2-antagonists: Anti-ulcer agents

  20. H2-antagonists: Anti-ulcer agents • Gastric secretion in stomach is controlled by: • Acetylcholine: M3-activation which lead to the production of acid. • Gastrin hormone: will be released from the G-cells in the antrum … this will interact with Cck2 receptor in the parietal cells to produce the gastric acid. • Histamine: will bind to the H2-receptors… gastric acid production. • The proton pump: will pump the formed acid (H+) out of the Parietal cells into the stomach lumen.

  21. H2-antagonists: Anti-ulcer agents • The First approach in synthesizing H2-antagonists was the use of Histamine as the lead compound to produce antagonist activity. • Can be done by: • Adding extra hydrophobic group to the structure. • Varying the polar amino group. • Make extension to the ethyl linker between the amino and the imidazole ring.

  22. Histamine analogues:

  23. Histamine analogues: • The next approach was to vary the polar groups in histamine with other polar functional groups. • The first derivative was N-guanylhistamine: • Has a weak H2-antagonist (partial agonist). • The guanidine moiety has a positive charge at physiological pH which will be distributed over the three nitrogen atoms.

  24. N-guanylhistamine as a lead

  25. * The imidazole ring proofed to be important for both agonist and antagonist binding. So the pka of this ring should be closer to the histamine one (5.74). * The pka of imidazole from burimamide is 7.25 which means that around 40% of the imidazole ring is ionized. * The side chain of burimamide should be electron withdrawing to make the pka of The ring close to 5.74.
