Comparison of roxatidine and ranitidine in the treatment of refractory duodenal ulcer

1994

Abstract Fourteen patients with duodenal ulcer not healed after treatment with ranitidine at the standard dosage of 300 mg/day for 12 weeks were enrolled in the study. Eight patients were treated with roxatidine acetate, 150 mg/day, for 8 weeks (group A); six patients received treatment with ranitidine, 600 mg/day, for 8 weeks (group B). Efficacy of treatment was evaluated on the basis of reduction of ulcer pain, lowering of maximal acid output (MAO) levels, and cicatrization of ulcer lesion. The patients treated with roxatidine showed a significant reduction in MAO levels after 4 weeks, whereas the patients treated with ranitidine showed a significant reduction in MAO levels after 8 weeks.…

H2-Antihistaminika, 25. Mitt. Synthese und H2-antagonistische Wirkung monosubstituierter 1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3,5-diamine

1985

Es wurden die N3- bzw. N5-substituierten 1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3,5-diamine 4a-e und 5a-e dargestellt und auf Histamin-H2-antagonistische Aktivitat untersucht. H2-Antihistaminics, XXV: Synthesis and H2-Antagonistic Activity of Monosubstituted 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3,5-diamines The N3-or N5-substituted 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3,5-diamines 4a-e and 5a-e were prepared and tested for histamine H2-antagonistic activity.

1980

Es wurden Nα-substituierte Histamine dargestellt und auf ihre agonistische Wirkung an Histamin H1- und H2-Rezeptoren untersucht. Structure-Activity Relationships of Histamine Analogues, XXI: Synthesis and Pharmacology of Nα-Substituted Histamines Nα-Substituted histamines were synthesized and investigated with regard to their agonistic activity at histamine H1 and H2 receptors.

Lack of Association Between Rs2067474 Polymorphism in the Histamine Receptor H2 Gene and Gastric Cancer In Latvian Population

2018

Abstract Histamine has an important role in the process of the gastric mucosa inflammation acting via histamine receptor H2 (encoded by the gene HRH2). Single nucleotide polymorphism of the enhancer element of HRH2 gene promoter rs2067474 (1018G>A)may be associated with changes of expression of the receptor. We attempted to clarify the association of this polymorphism with gastric cancer and/or atrophic gastritis in the Latvian (Caucasian) population. The study group consisted of 121 gastric cancer patients and 650 patients with no evidence of gastric neoplasia on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Genotyping for rs2067474 was performed with the TaqMan probe-based system using a commercia…

Pharmacological investigation into the effects of histamine and histamine analogues on guinea-pig and rat colon in vitro.

1986

The effects of histamine and specific histamine agonists has been examined on isolated longitudinal colon strips of guinea-pig and rat. Histamine and 2-pyridyl-ethylamine but not 4 methylhistamine produced a concentration-related contractile response in the guinea-pig colon. The H1-antagonist clemizole antagonized competitively the effect of histamine but the H2-antagonist ranitidine did not modify the dose-response curve to histamine in the guinea-pig colon. Atropine, hexamethonium, prazosin and propranolol failed to modify the contractile response to histamine. Tone induced with KCl in guinea-pig isolated colon was not modified by histamine agonists even in tissues pretreated with clemizo…

Pharmacological characterization and autoradiographic localization of histamine H2 receptors in human brain identified with [125I]iodoaminopotentidin…

1992

125I-Aminopotentidine (125I-APT), a reversible probe of high specific radioactivity and high affinity and selectivity for the H2 receptor, was used to characterize and localize this histamine receptor subtype in human brain samples obtained at autopsy. On membranes of human caudate nucleus, specific 125I-APT binding at equilibrium revealed a single component, with a dissociation constant of 0.3 nM and maximal capacity of about 100 fmol/mg of protein. At 0.2 nM, 125I-APT specific binding, as defined with tiotidine, an H2-receptor antagonist chemically unrelated to iodoaminopotentidine, represented 40-50% of the total. Specific 125I-APT binding was inhibited by a series of typical H2-receptor…

Histamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase of human gastric mucosa: a model for H2-receptor excitation.

1978

Recent studies revealed that human gastric mucosa contains a histamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase which is almost completely localized within the acid-secreting area of the stomach. In an attempt to further characterize the effector system of histamine’s action, we compared the effects of H 1 — and H 2-receptor agonists upon the adenylate cyclase in human fundic gastric mucosa.

Loss of striatal histamine H2receptors in Huntington's: Chorea but not in Parkinson's disease: Comparison with animal models

1993

Autoradiographic techniques were used to study the distribution of histamine H2-receptors as labeled with [125I]iodoaminopotentidine in the brains of patients affected by human neurodegenerative pathologies, as compared with control cases. The highest levels of histamine H2 binding sites in control cases were found in the caudate, putamen, and accumbens nuclei. In Huntington's chorea, the levels of histamine H2 receptor binding sites were found to be markedly decreased in virtually all regions examined, particularly in the putamen and globus pallidus lateralis. The loss of binding sites was related to the grade of the disease. Losses were more marked in grade III disease cases. The possible…
