Description
Desloratadine is a second-generation tricyclic antihistamine, acting as a histamine H1-receptor antagonist with anti-inflammatory properties. It is the active metabolite of loratadine and exhibits a higher affinity for the H1 receptor compared to most other H1-receptor antagonists. Desloratadine is a white to off-white powder that is slightly soluble in water, but very soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol. It does not readily enter the central nervous system, making it a non-sedating antihistamine. The drug is extensively metabolized to 3-hydroxydesloratadine, which is subsequently glucuronidated. The mean elimination half-life of desloratadine is about 6 hours, and the drug and its metabolites are eliminated in the urine and feces. Desloratadine is marketed under the brand name Clarinex.
Uses
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Desloratadine is used as an antihistamine for the symptomatic relief of allergic conditions, including seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria (hives). It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a natural substance produced during an allergic reaction, without causing drowsiness.
Desloratadine is used as a histamine H1-receptor antagonist for the relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis, such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, and itching.
Desloratadine is used as an anti-inflammatory agent to inhibit the generation and release of inflammatory mediators from basophils and mast cells.
Desloratadine is used as a non-sedating antihistamine for the symptomatic treatment of pruritus and reduction in the number and size of hives in chronic idiopathic urticaria patients aged 6 months and older.
In Research:
Desloratadine has been used in cellular studies to test its effect on embryoid body development in an in vitro gastrulation model of P19C5 stem cells.
Desloratadine has been used as an antihistamine mimic in rats to study its effects on the central nervous system and other physiological responses.
Desloratadine has been used to treat lung cancer (A549) and glioblastoma (U87) cells in various cellular studies, exploring its potential as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment.

Indications
Desloratadine (Clarinex) is an active metabolite of loratadine. A 5 mg
daily dose has been shown to be effective. There is no evidence that it offers
any advantage over loratadine.
Fexofenadine (like its parent compound terfenadine) may rarely promote
cardiac arrhythmias (24). No significant difference in efficacy has been noted
in the nonsedating H1 blockers. Combinations of nonsedating antihistamines
in the morning and sedating antihistamines in the evening may be more cost
effective than increasing doses of the nonsedating agent.
Manufacturing Process
To a solution of 10.9 g (0.1 mole) of ethylchloroformate in 300 ml of
anhydrous benzene is added dropwise, with stirring at room temperature, a
solution of 16.2 g (0.05 M) of 11-(N-methyl-4-piperidylidene)-8-chloro-6,11-
dihydro-5H-benzo-[5,6]-cyclohepta-[1,2-b]-pyridine in 200 ml of benzene.
The solution is stirred and is heated under reflux overnight (16-20 hours). The
mixture is cooled and is poured into ice water and the organic layer is
separated, washed with water, dried, and then concentrated to dryness. The
residue is triturated with petroleum ether and a white solid of 8-chloro-6,11-
dihydro-11-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-4-piperidylidene)-5H-benzo[5,6
]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine having a melting point of 128-130°C is
recrystallized from isopropyl ether after decolorization with decolorizing
carbon.To 12 g of sodium hydroxide in 30 ml ethyl alcohol (70%) add 6 g of 8-chloro6,11-dihydro-11-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-4-piperidylidene)-5Hbenzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine and reflux with stirring for 24 hours.
After about the first 6-8 hours an additional 30 ml of 70% ethyl alcohol may
be added. Remove about 50% of the solvent by distillation in vacuo. Add a
small amount of ice water and acidify with glacial acetic acid. Extract with
chloroform (6-8 times), since the product precipitates from the acetic acid
solution as a thick emulsion which cannot be filtered. Concentrate the
chloroform extracts to a small volume and precipitate the product with hexane
to give crude 8-chloro-6,11-dihydro-11-(4-piperidylidene)-5Hbenzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine acetic acid salt, m.p. 197-200°C.
Recrystallize from benzene-hexane to obtain the product, m.p. 199-200°C.
Yield 4.0-4.5 g.
Therapeutic Function
Antiallergic
Biochem/physiol Actions
Desloratadine is a selective and nonsedating histamine H1 receptor antagonist, an active metabolite of loratadine (Claritin), used to relieve hay fever and allergy symptoms with less drowsiness than other antihistamines; does not significantly inhibits cardiac K+ channels at clinically achievable blood levels. Free from antimuscarinic/anticholinergic effects.
Clinical Use
Desloratadine was launched as an improved version of Schering-Plough's
Claritin? (Loratadine), for the treatment of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of seasonal
allergic rhinitis (SAR). Desloratadine can be prepared by a 7-step synthesis starting with a
Ritter reaction on 2-cyano-3-picoline and involving successively alkylation with 3-
chlorobenzyl chloride, dehydration, Grignard reaction with the piperidine magnesium
chloride, intramolecular cyclization in strong acidic medium, and finally demethylation of
the piperidine. Desloratadine (the descarboethoxyloratadine) is a biologically active
metabolite of the second-generation antihistamine Ioratadine. Desloratadine is a nonsedating
competitive histamine H1 receptor antagonist with increased potency and
improved safety as compared to Ioratadine. When compared with other H1 antagonists as
an inhibitor of histamine-induced calcium flux in CHO cells, desloratadine was found to be
more potent than most H1 antagonists (such as the widely used terfenadine, fexofenadine,
cetirizine, Ioratadine and astemizole) in this assay. Desloratadine is also a potent
antagonist of muscarinic M1 and M3 receptors (not M2) indicating anticholinergic activity.
These effects may be the explanation for the unexpected decongestant effects of
desloratadine reported in clinical trials. Desloratadine appears to be devoid of significant
effects on potassium channels and does not appear to suffer from adverse interaction with
cytochrome P450 inhibitors. Clinical studies have shown that it does not induce sedation or
cardiac arrhythmias and does not potentiate the effects of alcohol. Apparent total body clearance is in the range of 114-201 l/h and the mean elimination half life is 19-34.6 h in human. Desloratadine is available as 5-mg tablets, which is the once-daily recommended
dose for adults and children above 12 years. It may be taken without regard to food. The
treatment not only improved symptoms of SAR but also improved patient ratings of nasal
congestion. The FDA also has issued an "approvable" letter for this agent for the treatment
of chronic idiopathic urticaria (ClU).

Compound 12a (JZP-361) acted as a potent and reversible inhibitor of human recombinant MAGL (hMAGL, IC50 = 46 nM), and was found to have almost 150-fold higher selectivity over human recombinant fatty acid amide hydrolase (hFAAH, IC50 = 7.24 μM) and 35-fold higher selectivity over human α/β-hydrolase-6 (hABHD6, IC50 = 1.79 μM). Additionally, compound 12a retained H1 antagonistic affinity (pA2 = 6.81) but did not show cannabinoid receptor activity, when tested at concentrations ≤10 μM. Hence, compound 12a represents a novel dual-acting pharmacological tool possessing both MAGL-inhibitory and antihistaminergic activities.
