Description and Uses

Ketotifen is a histamine H₁ receptor antagonist (K_i = 1.3 nM) and mast cell stabilizer. It is selective for H₁ receptors over H₂ and H₃ receptors (K_is = 987 and 2,500 nM, respectively). Ketotifen (50 and 100 μM) inhibits degranulation of rat peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80 . It inhibits the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction in rats by 54.6% when administered orally at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Ketotifen (30 mg/kg) inhibits the quick phase airway response in a rat ovalbumin-induced immediate airway response model. Formulations containing ketotifen have been used in the treatment of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Ketotifen fumarate salt has been used: for mast cell product antagonism, as a positive control in β-hexosaminidase release assay, as mast cell stabilizer to treat pregnant dams added to ad libitum drinking water
