Pemirolast potassium is a histamine H1 antagonist and mast cell stabilizer that acts as an antiallergic agent. It Inhibits chemical mediator release from tissue mast cells and has recently also been shown to inhibit the release of peptides including substance P, neurokinin (NK) A, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from sensory nerves. It has been used for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis prophylaxis of for pulmonary hypersensitivity reactions to drugs such as paclitaxel

The effects of anti-allergic agents on the hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel, an anti-cancer agent, were examined in rats. Intravenous injection of paclitaxel (15 mg/kg) caused a marked extravasation of plasma protein in lungs and a transient decrease in arterial partial

We previously reported that tranilast, an antiallergic agent, reduced intimal thickening after endothelial injury in rats. In this study, to verify whether or not antiallergic agents inhibit intimal thickening, we investigated the effect of pemirolast on intimal thickening after endothelial
To report a case of peripheral interstitial keratitis in a patient with mastocytosis. Clinical case description and immunohistologic examination of biopsied ocular tissue. A 22-year-old woman with biopsy-proven urticaria pigmentosa, a subset of mastocytosis, presented with an active peripheral interstitial
The effect of the simultaneous use of 0.025% levocabastine hydrochloride eye drops (levocabastine) and 0.1% pemirolast potassium ophthalmic solution (pemirolast) on experimental allergic conjunctivitis in rats was investigated. Levocabastine and pemirolast significantly inhibited allergic conjunctivitis compared with the control group
