For the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria, avastin (usually 8 mg three times daily) is an efficient and well-tolerated antihistamine. Treating seasonal allergic rhinitis with Avastin is more successful than using a placebo and works similarly to clemastine or terfenadine. Akvastine works similarly to commonly used doses of clemastine, hydroxyzine, chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, or terfenadine in the treatment of dermatoses in which histamine plays a causative role. It is also more effective than a placebo. Compared to clemastine, avastin is less drowsy, and its side effect profile is similar to that of terfenadine or placebo [1]. Avastin at doses of 4 mg and 8 mg significantly reduced symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis, including scores for runny nose, sneezing, and overall scores. Furthermore, the symptom scores for watery eyes and scratchy throat were decreased by 8 mg of acrivastine. When treating seasonal allergic rhinitis, avastin is well tolerated and works well [2].

| Animal Protocol |
In guinea-pigs, acrivastine was shown to lack anticholinergic effects [1]
In rats and guinea-pigs, brain:plasma concentration ratio of acrivastine after intravenous administration was 0.02 to 0.05, and after oral administration was 0.03 to 0.2, indicating low CNS penetration [1] The principal metabolite of acrivastine (propionic acid analogue) was tested in guinea-pigs for inhibition of histamine-induced bronchospasm and found to be 2 to 3 times more active than acrivastine [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following oral administration, acristatin in the compound capsules is rapidly absorbed, with bioavailability comparable to that of acristatin solution. After administration of SEMPREX-D capsules, peak plasma acristatin concentrations were reached at 1.14 ± 0.23 hours. A mass balance study in seven healthy volunteers indicated that acristatin is primarily excreted via the kidneys. During a 72-hour collection period, approximately 84% of the total administered radioactive material was recovered in urine and approximately 13% in feces, for a total recovery rate of approximately 97%. 0.46 ± 0.05 L/kg 2.9 ± 0.7 mL/min/kg Biological Half-Life Following a single oral dose of acristatin, the mean terminal half-life is 1.9 ± 0.3 hours, increasing to 3.5 ± 1.9 hours at steady state. The terminal half-life of propionic acid metabolite is 3.8 ± 1.4 hours. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Hepatotoxicity
Acristatin has not been found to be associated with elevated liver enzymes or clinically significant liver injury. Its relative safety is likely related to its rapid metabolism and low-dose use. Likelihood Score: E (Unlikely to cause clinically significant liver injury). References regarding the safety and potential hepatotoxicity of antihistamines are listed after the "Antihistamines Overview" section. Drug Category: Antihistamines Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Overview of Use During Lactation Small, occasional doses of acristatin are not expected to have any adverse effects on breastfed infants. Larger doses or prolonged use may cause infant drowsiness and other adverse reactions, or reduced milk production, especially when used in combination with sympathomimetic drugs (such as pseudoephedrine) or before lactation is fully established. Non-sedating antihistamines are a better option. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants As of the revision date, no published information on acristatin has been found. In a telephone follow-up study, mothers reported that 10% of infants exposed to various antihistamines experienced irritability and colic, and 1.6% experienced lethargy. All adverse reactions did not require medical attention. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk Higher doses of injected antihistamines can lower baseline serum prolactin levels in non-lactating women and early postpartum women. However, pre-administration of antihistamines by postpartum mothers does not affect suckling-induced prolactin secretion. Whether lower doses of oral antihistamines have the same effect on serum prolactin, and whether this effect on prolactin has any impact on breastfeeding success, is currently unstudied. Prolactin levels in lactating mothers may not affect their ability to breastfeed. Protein BindingAcrilastine binds to human plasma proteins at a rate of 50 ± 2.0%. |

| Additional Infomation |
Acrivastine is a pyridine compound with the structure (pyridin-2-yl)acrylic acid substituted at the 6-position with [(1E)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(pyrrolidine-1-yl)prop-1-en-1-yl]. It is a non-sedating antihistamine used to treat hay fever, urticaria, and rhinitis. It is an H1 receptor antagonist. It is an α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, belonging to the pyridine class of compounds, and is an N-alkylpyrrolidine, as well as an olefin compound. Acrivastine is a triprolidine analog antihistamine suitable for treating allergies and hay fever. As an H1 receptor antagonist, acrivastine works by blocking the binding of histamine to this receptor, thereby preventing symptoms associated with histamine release, such as itching, vasodilation, hypotension, edema, bronchoconstriction, and tachycardia. Currently, acristatin is used in combination with pseudoephedrine as the FDA-approved combination drug Semprex-D. Acristatin is a histamine-1 receptor antagonist. Its mechanism of action is as a histamine H1 receptor antagonist. Acristatin is a second-generation antihistamine used to treat allergic rhinitis. No clinically significant cases of acute liver injury have been found associated with acristatin. Acristatin is a synthetic alkylamine with non-sedating antihistamine activity. Acristatin limits typical anaphylactic and anaphylactic shock responses, including bronchoconstriction, vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasms, by competitively blocking histamine H1 receptors. These responses are caused by histamine acting on the bronchi, gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and capillaries. The drug also prevents histamine-induced skin and mucous membrane pain and itching.
