The influence of the sesquiterpene lactones from Geigeria on mast cell degranulation. Biochemical pharmacology, 1987, Aug-01, Volume: 36, Issue:15 The sesquiterpene lactones isolated from Geigeria were found to be incapable of inducing rat peritoneal mast cell degranulation at levels of 0.3-1.6 mM. The sulphydryl reagent, N-ethylmaleimide, too was unable to trigger mast cell secretion. Instead, it was observed that these compounds inhibited the release of histamine induced by Compound 48/80. Pretreatment of the lactones and N-ethylmaleimide with the amino acid, L-cysteine, reduced their inhibition ability of histamine release to a considerable extent, but not completely. Geigerin(V), which lacks an alpha-methylene group and the chemically prepared cysteine-adduct of dihydrogriesenin(I), were also capable of inhibiting mast cell secretion by Compound 48/80, but to a lesser extent.
