Effects of acrivastine and terfenadine on skin reactivity to histamine.
The response to the histamine hydrochloride prick skin test was studied in 24 healthy volunteers who received, in random order and at least four days apart, acrivastine (8 mg), terfenadine (120 mg), and placebo. The tests were performed on either side of the back before and at the time of administration (single dose), then every 30 minutes for two hours, and every hour for the following four hours. Evaluation was based on the mean of two measurements of the surface area of the wheal-and-flare reaction accompanied by assessment of topical pruritus. The response to histamine was decreased markedly in the two active treatment groups. Although within one hour of injection, the activity of both antihistamines was consistently greater than that of placebo, the kinetics of action of the two products nevertheless differed; indeed acrivastine was active against flare and wheal earlier (within 30 minutes); terfenadine proved to be more active than acrivastine only on flare and only at the later times (four, five, and six hours). The safety study primarily demonstrated drowsiness in one-fourth of the patients receiving placebo and active treatment.

Inhibition of natriuretic peptide receptor 1 reduces itch in mice.
There is a major clinical need for new therapies for the treatment of chronic itch. Many of the molecular components involved in itch neurotransmission are known, including the neuropeptide NPPB, a transmitter required for normal itch responses to multiple pruritogens in mice. Here, we investigated the potential for a novel strategy for the treatment of itch that involves the inhibition of the NPPB receptor NPR1 (natriuretic peptide receptor 1). Because there are no available effective human NPR1 (hNPR1) antagonists, we performed a high-throughput cell-based screen and identified 15 small-molecule hNPR1 inhibitors. Using in vitro assays, we demonstrated that these compounds specifically inhibit hNPR1 and murine NPR1 (mNPR1). In vivo, NPR1 antagonism attenuated behavioral responses to both acute itch- and chronic itch-challenged mice. Together, our results suggest that inhibiting NPR1 might be an effective strategy for treating acute and chronic itch.
