A series of novel 1-substituted-4-(3-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones were synthesized by the cyclization of 2-hydrazino-3-(3-methylphenyl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one with various one carbon donors. The starting material 2-hydrazino-3-(3-methylphenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one, was synthesized from 3-methylaniline by a novel innovative route. When tested for their in vivo H(1)-antihistaminic activity on conscious guinea pigs, all the test compounds protected the animals from histamine induced bronchospasm significantly, whereas the compound 1-methyl-4-(3-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one II was found to be equipotent (percent protection 70.0%) with the reference standard chlorpheniramine maleate (percent protection 71%). Compound II show negligible sedation (7%) when compared to chlorpheniramine maleate (25%). Hence it could serve as prototype molecule for further development as a new class of H(1)-antihistamines.

Aim of present investigation was to study the effect of catechin and the combination of catechin and cetirizine in ovalbumin induced animal model of allergic conjunctivitis. Guinea pigs were divided into 5 groups: normal control, disease control, disease treated with catechin 100 mg/kg, disease treated with cetirizine 10 mg/kg, disease treated with combination of catechin and cetirizine, 50 mg/kg & 5 mg/kg respectively. Sensitization was carried out by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin for the period of 14 day.

As a part of a research project pertaining to the synthesis of novel candidates as nonsedating, nonclassic H₁ histaminergic (H₁) blockers with low toxicity profiles, some new 5-substituted aminomethylenepyrimidine-2,4,6-triones were designed based on the H₁ histaminic receptor pharmacophore model. The interactions between the designed compounds and the H₁ receptor were studied using molecular docking on the homology model of H₁ receptor. The designed compounds were synthesized and biologically evaluated for H₁-blocking activity; using isolated segments of guinea pig ileum.

The present investigation encompasses development of a nanosized novel elastic vesicle-based topical formulation of cetirizine dihydrochloride using combination of Phospholipon® 90G and edge activators with an aim to have targeted peripheral H1 antihistaminic activity. The formulation was optimized with respect to phospholipid/drug/charge inducer ratio along with type and concentration of edge activator.

A series of novel 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(3-substituted propyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-ones have been synthesized and tested for their in vivo H1-antihistaminic activity on conscious guinea pigs. All the test compounds have protected the animals from histamine induced bronchospasm significantly. Compound 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) propylthio) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (PC5) emerged as the most active compound (77.

A series of novel 2-(3-substituted propyl)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-ones were synthesized by the reaction of 2-(3-bromopropyl thio)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-one with various amines. The starting material, 2-(3-bromopropyl thio)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-one was synthesized from 2-methyl aniline. When tested for their in vivo H(1)-antihistaminic activity on conscious guinea pigs, all the test compounds protected the animals from histamine induced bronchospasm significantly.
