Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Bilastine (trade name Bilaxten) is a second generation antihistamine drug for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria (hives). It exerts its effect as a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist, and has a potency similar to cetirizine and is superior to fexofenadine. It was developed in Spain by FAES Farma. Bilastine is approved in the European Union for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria, but it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any use in the United States. Bilastine has been effective in the treatment of ocular symptoms and diseases of allergies, including rhinoconjuctivitis. Additionally, bilastine has been shown to improve quality of life, and all nasal and ocular symptoms related to allergic rhinitis.

More Info
Biological target:
Bilastine is a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
Interestingly, an apparent discrepancy between functional and morphological data appears. Indeed, while only bilastine 30 mg/kg showed a full protection of renal function, matrix mesangial expansion and collagen deposition were significantly affected by bilastine, irrespective of the dose. However, these are both pro-fibrotic events that could be related to the general anti-inflammatory effect of bilastine, also confirmed in this study in terms of reduction of infiltrating cells. On the contrary, the biochemical evaluation (nephrin, synaptopodin, and P-cadherin expression), keeping with the functional analysis, reached statistical significance only by bilastine at 30 mg/kg. Therefore, histamine could be a trigger stimulus for the renal inflammatory response induced by hyperglycaemia, but is also a contributor to the podocyte junctional integrity, to which other mediators, such as angiotensin II, participate as well. The observed effect of bilastine is possibly due to the haemodynamic regulation induced by blocking H1 receptor.
