Abstract:
:The ability of calcium entry blockers to inhibit allergic histamine release from rabbit leukocytes was studied. Bepridil, verapamil, nifedipine, diltiazem and TMB-8 produced concentration-dependent inhibition of allergic histamine release from rabbit leukocytes. The calculated IC50s (microM) were as follows: verapamil = 1.3; bepridil = 2.3; TMB-8 = 3.0; nifedipine = 3.3; and diltiazem = 5.3. Verapamil also exerted concentration-dependent inhibition of allergic histamine release from human basophils with an IC50 of 3.7 microM. These agents may act by interfering with the influx of Ca2+ into the leukocytes as well as calcium-dependent steps (e.g., activation of calmodulin, phospholipase A2 and/or 5-lipoxygenase etc.) in the process of histamine secretion.
