Antagonist Comments
H4 antagonist 48 exhibits no appreciable binding to the H1, H2 or H3 receptors (IC50s >10 μM) [17].
Immunopharmacology Comments
H4 receptor is primarily expressed in mast cells and eosinophils, but is also found on human neutrophils and basophils, and plays an important role in modulating eosinophil chemotaxis [29,43]. H4 receptor acts in concert with H2 receptor to enhance IL-16 production in lymphocytes [32]. In mast cells, selective H4 receptor activation increases calcium influx, degranulation, cytokine release and leukotriene production (cysteinyl and LTB4) [14]. In comparison to the H1 receptor, the H4 receptor is a relatively new therapeutic target for inflammation [3,8,40]. Selective H4 receptor antagonists are in development for potential clinical use, in particular for the treatment of Th2-dependent dermal inflammation such as atopic dermatitis (see for example H4 antagonist 48), and asthma [12]. Novartis' lead H4 antagonist adriforant is in Phase 2 evaluation as of November 2018, in patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis [42].
