Butyrate has been recently identified as a natural ligand of the G-protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41). In addition, it is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). Butyrate treatment results in the hyperacetylation of histones, with resultant multiple biological effects including inhibition of proliferation, induction of cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis, in a variety of cultured mammalian cells.

Objective: To observe the inhibitory effect of mizolastine on substance P(SP)-induced production of leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) and interleukin 5 (IL-5) in mouse skin.
Methods: Mice were fed with different doses of mizolastine or other control drugs, 30 min after administration animals were injected intradermally with SP on the back. The treated skin samples were taken and competitive enzyme-link immunoassay (ELISA) method was applied to detect LTB (4) and IL-5 in the skin samples.
