H1 receptors are linked to allergic responses, H2 to gastric acid regulation, H3 to neurotransmitter release modulation, and H4 to immune system function. There are four known histamine receptors: H 1 receptor H1 Receptors: These receptors are primarily located on smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and neurons.
Cetirizine acts as a highly selective antagonist of the histamine H 1 receptor. [3] The K i values for the H 1 receptor are approximately 6 nM for cetirizine, 3 nM for levocetirizine , and 100 nM for dextrocetirizine , indicating that the levorotatory enantiomer is the main active form. [ 3 ]
The H 1 receptor is a histamine receptor belonging to the family of rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptors. This receptor is activated by the biogenic amine histamine . It is expressed in smooth muscles , on vascular endothelial cells , in the heart, and in the central nervous system .
The histamine receptor H 2 belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. It is an integral membrane protein and stimulates gastric acid secretion. It also regulates gastrointestinal motility and intestinal secretion and is thought to be involved in regulating cell growth and differentiation. [ 6 ]
These agents also commonly have action at α-adrenergic receptors and/or 5-HT receptors. This lack of receptor selectivity is the basis of the poor tolerability profile of some of these agents, especially when compared with the second-generation H 1-antihistamines. Patient response and occurrence of adverse drug reactions vary greatly between ...
The latest available data on America’s opioid epidemic underscore the need for action. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined 28 states and found that between 2010 and 2012, heroin overdose death rates had doubled. And those numbers continue to surge.
