Abstract: | Stobadine, an antiarrhythmic drug with antihistaminic properties, did not liberate histamine from mast cells in vitro. Compound 48/80-stimulated histamine liberation and degranulation was decreased in the presence of stobadine in a dose-dependent way. The spontaneous as well as stimulated calcium displacement in mast cells was significantly decreased by stobadine. Stobadine most probably possesses a membrane-stabilizing effect on isolated rat mast cells. |
