Passive anaphylaxis induced in the rat hind paw and peritoneal cavity with rat serum containing immunoglobulin E antibody was inhibited by N-(2-oxo-3,5,7-cycloheptatrien-1-yl)-aminooxoacetic acid ethyl ester (AY-25,674). In contrast with disodium cromoglycate (DSCG), AY-25,674 was orally active. Otherwise, the activity profile of AY-25,674 was similar to that of DSCG. Peak activity occurred a short time after administration, large doses produced tachyphylaxis, and anaphylactic histamine release from mast cells was inhibited. AY-25,674 did not inhibit increased vascular permeability produced by nonreaginic antibody, compound 48/80, serotonin, or histamine. It is concluded that AY-25,674 produces its antiallergic effects by inhibiting mediator release from mast cells by a mechanism similar to that of DSCG.

ABSTRACT After the administration of 131I to normal animals or human subjects, labelled thyroxine and triiodothyronine, but at most traces of labelled iodotyrosines can be detected in the serum. However, several investigators using various methods claim to have found considerable amounts of one or both of these iodotyrosines when assaying the stable (non-radioactive) iodinated compounds in the serum. Considering the available evidence as convincing for the present, an attempt has been made to explain this discrepancy. A schematic model of the thyroidal iodine metabolism is proposed, based on (a) the hypothesis that the iodotyrosines are present in the circulation in a »masked« form (i. e. protected against deiodination), and (b) the known functional heterogeneity of the thyroid tissue. This heterogeneity should be of a qualitative as well as quantitative nature. As the physical decay rate of 131I is short in comparison with the turnover rate of the masked iodotyrosine pool, an isotope equilibrium experiment with rats was carried out, using the long-lived isotope 125I. The results of this experiment, viewed together with those of a similar investigation published by others, seem to lend support to the proposed mechanism. The presence of non-negligible amounts of a diiodotyrosine-like compound in normal rat serum seems fairly well established.
