Description
Bilastine, a potent and selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist, was
approved in Europe in 2010 for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis
(AR) and urticaria (hives or skin rash). The original synthesis of bilastine involves alkylation of 2-piperidinyl-1H-benzimidazole with a phenethyltosylate,
the para position of which is substituted with a dimethyloxazoline
moiety serving as a masked carboxylic acid group. Alkylation of the
benzimidazole nitrogen with 2-chloroethyl ethyl ether followed by
unmasking of the oxazoline moiety with sulfuric acid provided bilastine.In two major clinical trials, bilastine was effective
at relieving allergic rhinitis as assessed by measuring the severity of nasal (obstruction, rhinorrhea, itching, sneezing) and nonnasal (ocular
itching, tearing, ocular redness, itching of ears, and/or palate) symptoms. Bilastine is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist (IC50 = 180 nM). It is selective for the histamine H1 receptor in a panel of 30 receptors in vitro at 100 μM. Bilastine prevents microvascular extravasation (ED50 = 185 μg/kg, i.v.), bronchospasm (ED50 = 4.6 μg/kg, i.v.), and systemic anaphylaxis (ED50 = 0.2 μg/kg, p.o.) induced by subcutaneous histamine in guinea pigs. It prevents anaphylaxis induced by subcutaneous administration of ovalbumin or dinitrophenylated human albumin (DNP) in sensitized rats when administered at doses of 7.6 and 6.0 mg/kg, respectively. Formulations containing bilastine have been used in the treatment of urticaria and allergic rhinitis.
