Chapter 30 Drugs affecting autacoids

1. Chapter 30Drugs affecting autacoids

2. Local hormones • Prostaglandins, histamine and serotonin belong to a group of compounds called autacoids. Although differed in structures and pharmacologic activities, they all have the common feature of being formed by the tissues on which they act; thus, they act as local hormones. • In this chapter, we are going to discuss histamine and histamine antagonists mainly.

10. Section 3 Histamine and receptor antagonistsⅠ． Histamine

11. Histamine is a chemical messenger that mediates a wide range of cellular response, including: • allergic reactions • Local inflammatory reactions • gastric acid secretion • cardiovascular function • possibly neuro-transmission in parts of the brain.

12. Metabolism of histamine (1) Synthesis Histidine histamine (2) Storage and release of histamine stored in mast cell and basophil Histamine methylhistamine methylimidozoleacetic acid

13. [Mechanism of actions] Three types of histamine receptors: H1, H2 and H3-R • H1 receptors are important in • producing smooth muscle contraction • increasing capillary permeability • Dilating vascular smooth muscle • Stimulating sensory nerve ending

14. H2 receptors • mediate gastric acid secretion • Dilating vascular smooth muscle • Increase heart rate and contractility • H3 receptors is located in presynaptic membrane and possibly mediate the negative feedback of histamine release.

16. Action of histamine

17. pharmacological effects 1. Cardiovascular system: (1)heart: positive inotropism----H1,H2-R positive chronotropism----H2-R (2)vessel: dilation BP↓ • In small doses, the cardiovascular effect of histamine is mainly mediated by H1-receptors. • In large doses, the cardiovascular effect of histamine is mainly mediated by both H1 and H2-receptors.

18. ( 3) triple effect on terminal vasculature (itching & pain): • i. reddening at injection site due to vasodilation • ii. wheal or disk of edema within 1 to 2 min • iii. a large, bright crimson flare or halo surrounding the wheal

19. Pharmacological effects 2. splanchnic smooth muscle: histamine causes bronchiolar and gastrointestinal tract smooth muscle constriction which is mediated by H1 receptors.

20. 3. Exocrine system: histamine has long been recognized as a powerful stimulant of gastric acid secretion which is caused by activation of H2-receptors on gastric parietal cells. secretion of nasal and bronchial mucus are also increased. it enhances salivary and lacrimal gland secretion (minimal unless large doses are given)

21. Pharmacological effects 4. nervous system: histamine is a powerful stimulant of sensory nerve endings, especially those mediating pain and itch. This H1-receptor-mediated effect is an important component of some allergic reactions .

22. clinical uses mainly for diagnosis (1) Testing the secretion of gastric acid (2) Diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (3) Pulmonary function testing (4) Tool drugs Betahistine (培他司汀，抗眩啶）

23. Histamine Antagonists H1 receptor antagonists have a history for over 60 years. The first H2 receptor antagonist was reported in 1972, while selective H3 receptor antagonists are not yet available for clinical use.

24. H1 receptor antagonists Pharmacological effects 1.H1 receptor blockade (1) capiliary (2) BP (3) GI SM (4) branchial SM

25. H1 receptor antagonists 2.Actions not caused by histamine receptor blockade (1) Sedative and hypnotic effects (2) Antiemetic（止吐） action (3) Anticholinoceptor actions

28. Therapeutic uses 1. Skin and mucosa allergic conditions： H1 blockers are useful in treating allergies caused by antigens acting on IgE-antibody sensitized mast cells, including: Allergic rhinitis(鼻炎), urticaria(荨麻疹), pollen disease, hay fever, atopic dermatitis , contact dermatitis , drug rash low efficacy on asthma ineffective on alergic shock

29. Therapeutic uses • 2. motion sickness and nausea: some H1 receptor antagonists, such as diphenhydramine (DH)and dimenhydrinate (乘晕宁) are the most effective agents for the prevention of the symptoms of motion sickness.

30. 3. insomnia: some of the H1 receptor antagonists, such as DH and promethazine, have strong sedative properties. • 4. other use: promethazine

31. adverse reactions H1 receptor antagonists have a low specificity, that is, they interact not only with histamine receptor but also with muscarinic cholinergic receptors, α-adrenergic receptors and serotonin receptors.

32. 1. CNS reactions: Sedation, somnolence, hypodynamia the most frequently observed reactions, but less common in some new agents for they do not enter the CNS. • 2.gestraintestinal reaction: dry mouth, anorexia, constipation, diarrea

33. H2 receptor antagonists Effects (1) Reduce the secretion of gastric acid. (2) Other effects related to H2 receptor blockade 1) Cardiovascular system 2) Immunoregulation effects

34. uses • The chief clinical use for histamine H2 receptor antagonists is as inhibitors of gastric acid secretion in the treatment of peptic ulcers. We will discuss it in other chapter.
