BN-52021 protects guinea-pig from heart anaphylaxis / F. Magni, G. Rossoni, F. Berti. - In: PHARMACOLOGICAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS. - ISSN 0031-6989. - 20:Suppl. 5(1988), pp. 75-78. [10.1016/S0031-6989(88)80845-2]
abstract:
BN-52021 preserves "in vitro" the actively sensitized guinea-pig heart from the immunological reaction. This ginkgolide reduces mediator release (histamine, thromboxane-A2 and slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis) in a dose-dependent manner, particularly that of histamine. These results evidence either an important role for PAF in guinea pig anaphylaxis or a wider spectrum of activity for BN-52021.
