High impact information on Retolen

  • Astemizole in the treatment of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-induced bone pain [11].
  • The data on central nervous system effects of astemizole are limited and were not evaluated [6].
  • Cytochrome P450 3A4 metabolizes terfenadine, astemizole, carbamazepine, alprazolam, triazolam, and other benzodiazepines [12].
  • Even if both drugs differ in their affinity for hEag1 channels (IC50s are approximately 2 microM for imipramine and approximately 200 nM for astemizole) and in their blocking kinetics, both drugs permeate the membrane and inhibit the hEag1 current by selectively binding to open channels [13].
  • However, as astemizole competes with imipramine and intracellular TEA for binding to the channel, it is proposed to interact with an overlapping intracellular binding site [13].

Gene context of Retolen

  • Experiments with recombinant P450s and antibodies indicate a negligible role for CYP3A4 on the main metabolic route of astemizole, i.e. formation of DES-AST, although CYP3A4 may mediate the relatively minor metabolic routes to 6OH-AST and NOR-AST [30].
  • These results indicate the involvement of CYP2J2 in the presystemic elimination of astemizole in the human small intestine [31].
  • These results suggest that blockade of HERG channels by terfenadine and astemizole might contribute to the cardiac side effects of these compounds [32].
  • During the course of the P450 identification study, higher activities of the astemizole O-demethylation in the rabbit small intestine than in the liver (about 3-fold) were found [31].
  • Effect of the nonsedative H1-receptor antagonist astemizole in perennial allergic and nonallergic rhinitis [33].
