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.

1. Mast cells make up between 0.5 and 3% (mean 1.35%) of total cells recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). 2. The majority of these cells have the morphological characteristics of mucosal mast cells in that they fail to stain in the alcian blue-safranin reaction after fixation in formol-saline but stain well after fixation in Carnoy's solution. Cells staining with berberine sulphate were seen in only four of the 26 lavages. 3. BAL cells released histamine in response to anti-human immunoglobulin E (IgE) in a dose-dependent manner that was optimal at a dilution of anti-IgE of 1:100. Maximum release was obtained by 2 min. 4. Histamine release was completely inhibited by a combination of 2-deoxyglucose (5 mmol/l) and antimycin A (1 μmol/l). 5. Disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) significantly inhibited this histamine release at 1 mmol/l (P<0.02), 100 μmol/l (P<0.002) and 10 μmol/l (P<0.003), with maximum inhibition of 50.1% at 10 μmol/l.

In this study, we investigated the effect of Amomum xanthiodes (Zingiberaceae) extract (AXE) on the mast cell-mediated allergy model and studied the possible mechanism of action. We found that AXE inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic reactions and plasma histamine release in mice. Additionally, AXE decreased immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated local allergic reactions and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA), and AXE dose-dependently attenuated the release of histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80 or IgE. The amounts of AXE needed for inhibition of compound 48/80-induced plasma histamine release and PCA were similar to disodium cromoglycate, the known anti-allergic drug. We found that AXE increased the cAMP levels and decreased the compound 48/80-induced intracellular Ca2+. Furthermore, AXE attenuated the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus calcium ionophore (A23187)-stimulated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 secretion in human mast cells. The inhibitory effect of AXE on the proinflammatory cytokines was nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-dependent. In addition, AXE decreased PMA plus A23187-induced degradation of IκBα and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Our findings provide evidence that AXE inhibits mast cell-derived immediate-type allergic reactions, and that cAMP, intracellular Ca2+, proinflammatory cytokines, and NF-κB are involved in these effects.

This study evaluated the effect of different concentrations (20, 40 and 60 mg/L) of 3-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester methanesulfonate (MS-222) on the quality changes in turbot during simulated transport in water. The results showed that the ammonia nitrogen content in the transportation water of each sample increased significantly, and the dissolved oxygen level decreased. The dissolved oxygen content in MS-222-treated samples was higher than that of control group (CK) samples. For turbot flesh quality, simulated transport in water led to a decrease in moisture, fat and protein contents in all samples. The MS-222-treated turbot samples showed higher pH values, glycogen contents, springiness and chewiness values and lower lactic acid contents comparing with the CK samples during simulated transport in water. In addition, the fresh and bitter amino acids in the muscle of turbot increased in each treatment group compared to the non-transported fish at the end of the simulated transport. The results showed that MS-222 treatment could retard the turbot transport stress and improve the quality of turbot during simulated transport in water.
