The Novel H4R Antagonist 1-[(5-Chloro-2,3-Dihydro-1-Benzofuran-2-Yl)Methyl]-4-Methyl-Piperazine (LINS01007) Attenuates Several Symptoms in Murine Allergic Asthma.

AbstractBACKGROUND/AIMS:
Histamine is an important chemical transmitter involved in inflammatory processes, including asthma and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Its inflammatory effects involve mainly the histamine H4 receptor (H4R), whose role in several studies has already been demonstrated. Our group have explored the effects of 1-[(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl]piperazines as antagonists of H4R, and herein the compounds LINS01005 and LINS01007 were studied with more details, considering the different affinity profile on H4R and the anti-inflammatory potential of both compounds.
METHODS:
We carried out a more focused evaluation of the modulatory effects of LINS01005 and LINS01007 in a murine asthma model. The compounds were given i.p. (1-7 mg/kg) to ovalbumin sensitized BALB/c male mice (12 weeks old) 30 min before the antigen challenging, and after 24 h the cell analysis from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was performed. The lung tissue was used for evaluation by western blot (COX-2, 5-LO, NF-κB and STAT3 expressions) and histological analysis.
RESULTS:
Treatment with the more potent H4R antagonist LINS01007 significantly decreased the total cell count and eosinophils in BALF at lower doses when compared to LINS01005. The expression of COX-2, 5-LO, NF-κB and STAT3 in lung tissue was significantly reduced after treatment with LINS01007. Morphophysiological changes such as mucus and collagen production and airway wall thickening were significantly reduced after treatment with LINS01007.
CONCLUSION:
These results show important down regulatory effect of novel H4R antagonist (LINS01007) on allergic lung inflammation.
