Application

Acrivastine has been used as an antihistamine to investigate the relation between the increased residence time of antihistamine at the histamine H1 receptor (H1R) and the duration of effective target-inhibition by this antagonist.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acrivastine is a second-generation antihistamine, an H1-receptor antagonist.
Acrivastine is a second-generation antihistamine. It is a derivative of first-generation compound triprolidine. Acrivastine is effectively used for treating allergic diseases including cholinergic urticaria and histamine-medicated dermatoses.

To quantify and compare the incidence of ventricular arrhythniias associated with the use of five nonsedating antihistamines: acrivastine, astemizole, cetirizine, loratadine and terfenadine. The effects of age, sex, dose, duration of treatment, and the interaction with P450 inhibitor drugs were

Although the new second-generation nonsedative antihistamines terfenadine and astemizole were launched as highly selective and specific H(1)-receptor antagonists, they were later found to cause prolongation of the QT-interval and severe cardiac arrhythmias. The prolongation of the QT-interval is caused by
