Identification of novel functional inhibitors of acid sphingomyelinase.

PLoS ONE 6 , e23852, (2011)

We describe a hitherto unknown feature for 27 small drug-like molecules, namely functional inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM). These entities named FIASMAs (Functional Inhibitors of Acid SphingoMyelinAse), therefore, can be potentially used to treat di...

Simultaneous analysis of the H1-antihistamine acrivastine and the decongestant pseudoephedrine hydrochloride by high-performance liquid chromatography.

J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 37(4) , 663-7, (2005)

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the simultaneous quantification of the H(1)-antihistamine acrivastine and the decongestant pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. Both compounds were detected at the wavelength of 214 nm. The influence of the...

Onset-of-action for antihistamine and decongestant combinations during an outdoor challenge.

Ann. Allergy Asthma Immunol. 84(4) , 451-9, (2000)

Medications containing a combination antihistamine-decongestant are commonly used for allergic rhinitis yet onset-of-action comparisons for symptom relief after a single dose have not been performed.To determine the onset of symptom relief and efficacy of ant...

Efficacy of acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine for symptomatic relief of seasonal allergic rhinitis due to mountain cedar.

Ann. Allergy Asthma Immunol. 76(5) , 432-8, (1996)

Acrivastine is a second-generation H1-antagonist chemically related to triprolidine, but more polar and with less central nervous system penetration than triprolidine.The efficacy of the antihistamine-decongestant combination product (Semprex-D capsules) cont...

Quantification of antihistamine acrivastine in plasma by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography.

J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 43(1) , 293-7, (2007)

An automated solid-phase extraction method was developed for the determination of the H1-antihistamine acrivastine in plasma samples. Acrivastine was analyzed at the wavelength of 254 nm using a reversed-phase HPLC assay. Both extraction procedure and analyti...

Evaluation and comparison of five matrix excipients for the controlled release of acrivastine and pseudoephedrine.

Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. 30(10) , 1009-17, (2004)

For treatment of allergic rhinitis, acrivastine with pseudoephedrine in Semprex-D conventional capsules requires dosing every 6-8 hours. This study was designed to develop a controlled release matrix tablet of acrivastine and pseudoephedrine and evaluate 5 di...

Effects of acrivastine, loratadine and cetirizine on histamine-induced wheal and flare responses.

Clin. Exp. Dermatol. 24(5) , 407-11, (1999)

It is accepted that studies evaluating histamine-induced wheal and flare reactions in the skin represent a simple and reliable method for demonstrating pharmacodynamic activity and pharmacokinetics of the H1-receptor antagonists. In this study, the effects of...

Efficacy of acrivastine with pseudoephedrine in treatment of allergic rhinitis due to ragweed.

Ann. Allergy Asthma Immunol. 76(2) , 204-8, (1996)

Semprex-D capsules contain acrivastine 8 mg (a second generation H1-antagonist) plus pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg and were developed to satisfy the needs of allergy suffers who prefer combination products designed to provide broader symptom relief. Approval of c...

Electrochemical behaviour and determination of acrivastine in pharmaceuticals and human urine.

J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 30(4) , 1215-22, (2002)

The differential pulse polarography, DC-tast polarography and cyclic voltammetry behaviour of acrivastine was studied in Britton-Robinson buffer solutions (pH 2-11.7). In acidic media, a non-reversible diffusion controlled reduction process involving four ele...

Acrivastine: a review of its dermatopharmacology and clinical activity.

J. Int. Med. Res. 17 Suppl 2 , 28B-34B, (1989)

The general human and skin pharmacology of acrivastine, its clinical utility and some important concepts of the use of H1-antihistamines in dermatology are discussed. The drug has potent H1-antihistamic activity yet a low sedative profile as compared with fir...
