Wechselwirkungen	The effect of a standard regimen of dirithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of the H (1) receptor blocker astemizole was evaluated in a sample of 18 healthy young adults (nine males and nine females). The study was conducted in a two-way cross-over fashion after the subjects had been randomly given either dirithromycin (two 250 mg tablets) or placebo (two tablets) every morning for 10 days. On the morning of the fourth dose of either dirithromycin or placebo each subject ingested a single 30-mg oral dose (three 10-mg tablets) of astemizole. The disposition kinetics of both astemizole and its major metabolite, N-desmethylastemizole, were characterized after measuring the concentrations of both analytes in the serum fraction of serial blood samples collected for 14 days after the astemizole dose. In addition, corrected QTc intervals were estimated from electrocardiogram rhythm strips that were run 24 hours prior to the astemizole dose, 12 hours after the astemizole dose, and after the last treatment (dirithromycin or placebo) dose in both study periods. Pharmacokinetic parameters that were measured for both astemizole and N-desmethylastemizole during each treatment were: C(max), t(max), AUC (0-infinity), CL(oral), half-life, and volume of distribution (V). None of the parameters for N-desmethylastemizole was different when comparing data by ANOVA from the dirithromycin treatment period with that of the placebo treatment period. On the other hand, during dirithromycin treatment astemizole Cl(oral) was 34% slower, volume of distribution was 24% larger, and half-life was 84% longer. Generally, all QTc intervals did not appear to be affected by dirithromycin treatment. The changes in astemizole kinetics could not be attributed to its N-demethylation since the dispositional kinetics of N-desmethylastemizole were unaffected by dirithromycin. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain the clinical significance of the changes in astemizole kineThe effects of chemical agents on the metabolism of the antihistamine drug astemizole were investigated to evaluate drug-drug interactions. Chemical inhibitors of astemizole O-demethylation were screened using the small intestinal and liver microsomes from rabbit as an animal model for the first-pass metabolism of humans. In the rabbit small intestine, astemizole O-demethylation was clearly inhibited by ebastine, arachidonic acid, alpha-naphthoflavone, ketoconazole, tranylcypromine, troglitazone and terfenadine. In humans, these inhibitors also reduced microsomal astemizole O-demethylation in both the small intestine and liver. However, the inhibition rate of almost all these chemicals were clearly greater in the small intestine than in the liver. Thus, a different contribution of cytochrome p450 in each tissue is suggested. All the chemicals inhibited astemizole O-demethylation in recombinant CYP2J2 microsomes. The results suggest that CYP2J2 is involved in astemizole O-demethylation in both the human small intestine and liverhowever, the contribution in the liver is lower than in the small intestine. The effects of the CYP2J2 inhibitors during first-pass metabolism may be more important in the small intestine than in the liver. Since all the inhibition profiles of astemizole O-demethylation were different in the liver and small intestine, involvement of another p450 in astemizole O-demethylation in human liver may be speculated. In the rabbit microsomal systems, the same metabolites found in humans were qualitatively detected and the inhibition profiles of the chemical agents in the microsomes resembled that of humans.Concurrent use of astemizole with clarithromycin, erythromycin or troleandomycin is contraindicatedpending further evaluation, concurrent use of astemizole with other macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin, is not recommended.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of astemizole given intraperitoneally /to mice/ singly or for 7 days on the anticonvulsant activity of antiepileptic drugs against maximal electroshock-induced convulsions in mice. The following antiepileptic drugs were administered intraperitoneally: valproate magnesium, carbamazepine, diphenylhydantoin and phenobarbital. Adverse effects were evaluated in the chimney test (motor performance) and passive avoidance task (long-term memory). Brain and plasma levels of antiepileptic drugs were measured by immunofluorescence. Astemizole (a single dose and following a 7-day treatment at 2-6 mg/kg) reduced the threshold for electroconvulsions, being without effect upon this parameter at lower doses. Astemizole (1 mg/kg) did not significantly alter the protective effect of antiepileptic drugs against maximal electroshock (after acute and 7-day administration). Also, acute astemizole (2 mg/kg) remained ineffective in this respect. Astemizole (2 mg/kg), following chronic administration, significantly reduced the protective efficacy of phenobarbital and diphenylhydantoin, reflected by an increase in their ED(50) values (50% effective dose necessary to protect 50% of animals tested against maximal electroshock) from 21.1 to 34.0 mg/kg and from 10.4 to 19.2 mg/kg, respectively. Astemizole (2 mg/kg) did not alter the protective activity of the remaining antiepileptic drugs. Moreover, astemizole (2 mg/kg) did not influence the free plasma levels and brain concentration of the studied antiepileptic drugs. Also, this H(1) receptor antagonist did not impair long-term memory or motor coordination when given acutely. However, 7-day treatment with astemizole (2 mg/kg) significantly decreased TD(50) (50% toxic dose required to induce motor impairment in 50% of animals) value of phenobarbital, being without effect on carbamazepine, valproate and diphenylhydantoin in this respect. Similarly, phenobarbital and diphenylhydantoin, administeredFor more Interactions (Complete) data for ASTEMIZOLE (15 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
Gesundheitliche Auswirkungen	Cardiovascular adverse events. In some cases, recognition of severe arrhythmias has been preceded by episodes of syncope. Similarly, rare cases of hypotension, palpitations, and dizziness have also been reported with Astemizole use, which may reflect undetected ventricular arrhythmia. (L1864)
Expositionspfade	Oral. Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Toxizitätsübersicht	Astemizole competes with histamine for binding at H<sub>1</sub>-receptor sites in the GI tract, uterus, large blood vessels, and bronchial muscle. This reversible binding of astemizole to H<sub>1</sub>-receptors suppresses the formation of edema, flare, and pruritus resulting from histaminic activity. As the drug does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier and preferentially binds at H1 receptors in the peripehery rather than within the brain, CNS depression is minimal. Astemizole may also act on H<sub>3</sub>-receptors, producing adverse effects.
Human Toxicity Excerpts	/CASE REPORTS/ A 14-year-old female who intentionally ingested 270 mg of astemizole and developed torsade de pointes, a form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that is associated with prolongation of the QTc interval /was reported/. She was successfully treated with magnesium sulfate infusion and had an uneventful recovery over a period of 36 hours. This case illustrates that astemizole overdose is not benign and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Use of high-dose Astemizole may not be advisable for patients who are at risk for prolongation of the QTc interval./CASE REPORTS/ 6 cases of accidental astemizole poisoning in children have been reported to the Finnish Poison Information Center. The children were aged 1 year 7 months to 3 years 4 months and had taken doses of 2.5 to 16.7 mg/kg, at least twelve times that recommended. In 2 children the overdose was verified by measurement of drug concentrations. Despite measures to prevent drug absorption, prolonged QTc-interval, a sign of cardiac toxicity, was found in all 5 children on whom an electrocardiogram was available for analysis, and severe ventricular arrhythmias developed in 1./CASE REPORTS/ Five cases of astemizole (Hismanal) overdose causing prolonged corrected QT interval, ventricular dysrhythmias, and atrioventricular heart block are reported in 5 children (ages 1.5-11 yr). Cardiotoxic effects lasted an average of 2.5 days. Children poisoned with astemizole need emergency medical evaluation, a 12-lead electrocardiogram with calculation of the corrected QT interval, and continuous cardiac monitoring for 24 hr./CASE REPORTS/ Astemizole, a relatively new H1 blocker, has been reported to cause ventricular arrhythmias in the poisoned patient. Two cases of astemizole poisoning /were presented/, one with asystole followed by ventricular fibrillation occurring 11 hours after ingestion treated with defibrillation and one with an isolated finding of a prolonged corrected QT interval. Electrocardiogram monitoring to detect conduction defects can identify patients at risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias.For more Human Toxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for ASTEMIZOLE (11 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts	/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ The purpose of this study was to evaluate a telemetry system for examining the cardiovascular system in the conscious common marmoset. Parameters obtained were blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, ECG, body temperature and locomotor activity, and these were continuously recorded on a data recorder via the telemetry system and then processed by a computerized system. Diurnal rhythms of blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and locomotor activity were observed in this system. We studied the effects of astemizole (antihistamine) ... on cardiovascular parameters. Astemizole at 30 mg/kg (p.o.) and at 1 to 3 mg/kg (IV), prolonged QT interval and induced ventricular extrasystole. Torsades de pointes occurred in one of three cases at 3 mg/kg (IV) and 30 mg/kg (p.o.), while it did not affect the blood pressure, respiratory rate and body temperature./LABORATORY ANIMALS: Chronic Exposure or Carcinogenicity/ The histamine H1 antagonist astemizole (Hismanal) was tested for carcinogenicity in Swiss mice and Wistar rats. Astemizole was administered with the food to mice for 18 and to rats for 24 consecutive months. The doses given--approximately 5, 20, and 80 mg/kg body weight/day were equivalent to 25, 100, and 400 times, respectively, the recommended human dose of 10 mg/day. Survival of both mice and rats was comparable between groups. Peto's age-adjusted, dose-related trend analysis for the tumor-bearing rats did not reveal a statistically significant difference for males or females. There was no evidence that astemizole led to an increased incidence of spontaneously or unusually occurring neoplastic lesions in either mice or rats. Special attention was given to the effect of astemizole on the progression of spontaneously occurring mammary gland adenomas and fibroadenomas. Peto's analysis applied to the number of female rats bearing these benign mammary gland tumors disclosed no statistically significant dose-related trend. There was no positive trend for the onset of this tumor type, and the median size of the tumor over time per rat was also not statistically significantly different in a comparison of the control group with each of the dosed groups. The findings from these carcinogenicity studies suggest that astemizole is not tumorigenic and that it does not promote tumor growth./LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ Studies in rats showed embryocidal effects accompanied by maternal toxicity at doses 100 times the recommended human dose. However, at dose 50 times the recommended human dose, embryotoxicity or maternal toxicity has not been observed in rats or rabbits ... ./LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ The prenatal and postnatal effects of administration of a nonsedative antihistamine H1, astemizole, were compared. Astemizole (10 mg/kg) was injected daily into female Wistar rats throughout pregnancy (prenatal treatment) or during the first 6 days of lactation (postnatal treatment). Neither treatment modified dam body weight. Prenatal exposure reduced offspring body weight and lead to a latter expression of the vaginal opening of female offspring. In addition, a long-term disruption of male reproductive behavior was observed, while female sexual behavior was not modified. The sexual activity index and the intromission frequency were increased in prenatally treated animals. Testes wet weight was reduced, but no modifications were detected in vas deferens or seminal vesicles. Postnatal treatment did not alter offspring body weight, open-field activity, sexual behavior and organ weight /and/ did not delay testes descent but reduced the time until vaginal opening. Hypothalamic serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline as well as dopamine and noradrenaline metabolites were not modified by both prenatal and postnatal treatments. Increased striatal 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid levels were observed after prenatal and postnatal treatments, while only postnatal serotonin levels were increased. The present results indicate that prenatal astemizole exposure can have long-lasting organizational effects on reproductive behavior of male rats, while postnatal exposure to this drug did not alter mating behavior. In relation to female rats, prenatal and postnatal exposures to astemizole accelerated puberty but did not alter sexual behavior. Neurochemical data show that both treatments increased striatal dopaminergic system activity, suggesting a central astemizole effect after perinatal exposure./OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ The possible mechanisms of cardiac adverse effects of astemizole were studied using a halothane-anesthetized in vivo canine model under the cardiohemodynamic and monophasic action potential monitoring. A dose of 0.3 mg/kg of iv astemizole (n = 7), which is close to the recommended dose for clinical use, showed a bradycardic effect and a reversed use-dependent lengthening of repolarization. The increase in the repolarization was greater than in the effective refractory period. These effects persisted even when the plasma drug concentration became undetectable. Additional administration of 3.0 mg/kg of iv astemizole (n = 7) decreased the mean blood pressure, suppressed the cardiac contraction and conduction, and induced early after depolarization-like potential in addition to the qualitatively similar effects compared to those observed by the lower dose. The decrease of the plasma concentration of astemizole followed the pattern predicted by the two-compartment theory of pharmacokinetics, but the drug concentration in the cardiac muscle was estimated to be more than 100 times greater than that in plasma. /The/ study emphasizes that each cardiac consequence of astemizole overdose may be related to proarrhythmic effects and the monitoring of plasma drug concentration will be less helpful in predicting the cardiac adverse effects of astemizole.
Populations at Special Risk	The pharmacokinetics of astemizole in individuals with renal or hepatic impairment remain to be determined. Since astemizole is extensively metabolized in the liver, elimination of the drug may be impaired in patients with substantial hepatic impairment and use of the drug in such patients should be avoided.Possible cardiotoxic effects with hepatic function impairment, history of QT interval prolongation, or with hypokalemia.
Antidote and Emergency Treatment	Treatment of astemizole-induced torsades de pointes includes discontinuing use of astemizole, intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate and isoproterenol, temporary cardiac pacing, and, when necessary, direct current cardioversion. A cardiac cause of syncope or convulsions must not be overlooked, especially in patients taking H1 antagonists because they often have these symptoms before hospitalization or detection of torsades de pointes (or both).Children poisoned with astemizole need emergency medical evaluation, a 12-lead electrocardiogram with calculation of the corrected QT interval, and continuous cardiac monitoring for 24 hr.Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Treat coma, hyperthermia, and atypical ventricular tachycardia if they occur. Monitor the patient for at least 6 to 8 hours after ingestion.There is no specific antidote for antihistamine overdose. As for anticholinergic poisoning, physostigmine has been used for treatment of severe delirium or tachycardia. However because antihistamine overdose carry a greater risk for seizures physostigmine is not recommended routinely. Sodium bicarbonate may be useful for myocardial depression and QRS interval prolongation after massive diphenhydramine overdose. Administer activated charcoal orally if conditions are appropriate. Gastric lavage is not necessary after small to moderate ingestions if activated charcoal can be given promptly. Because of slowed gastrointestinal motility, gut decontamination procedures may be helpful even in late-presenting patients. Hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, peritoneal dialysis, and repeat dose activated charcoal are not effective in removing antihistamines.Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed).

Anwendungen & Verwendung

Beschreibung

Astemizole belongs to the second-generation class of non-sedating, non-anticholinergic antihistamines. Its non-sedating properties appear to result from its poor penetration of the blood brain barrier. As a result it shows no potentiation of CNS depressants, including alcohol. Its long half-life allows once-daily dosing.

Verwenden

Astemizole is used for preventing and treating severe seasonal and chronic allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, hives, Quinke’s edema, other allergic conditions and dermatitis. Synonyms of this drug are hismanal, histazol, and others.
