Male Hartley guinea-pigs, 5-8 weeks of age, were sacrificed and the ileum was excised. An approximately 20 mm strip of isolated ileum was mounted vertically under a 0.5 g load in an organ bath containing 10 ml of Locke-Ringer solution (NaCl: 154 mM, KCl: 5.6 mM, CaCl.sub.2.2H.sub.2 O: 2.2 mM, MgCl.sub.2.6H.sub.2 O: 2.1 mM , NaHCO.sub.3 : 5.9 mM, glucose: 2.8 mM ) maintained at 28.degree. C. and bubbled with 95% O.sub.3 and 5% CO.sub.2. The contractile response was recorded on a recticorder an isotonic transducer. The concentration-contractile response curve to histamine was constructed before and after 30 min contact with test compounds. The dissociation constant K.sub.B (M) of test compounds was calculated according to the method of Furchgott ("Catecholamines" Edited by Blaschko, H. and Muscholl, E., 283-335, Springer, Berlin; Heidelberg and New York, 1972).

The results are shown in Table 1.

The compounds of the present invention exhibited excellent activities, though the activities were somewhat less potent than those of the reference compounds.

2. Antiallergic activity (48 hr homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rat)

Male Wistar rats, 6 weeks of age, were passively sensitized by intracutaneous injection in the back of a volume of 0.1 ml of anti-DNP-As rat serum. Forty-eight hours later, the animals were administered an intravenous injection of 0.5 ml saline solution containing 1 mg of DNP-As and 5 mg of Evans blue. The animals were sacrificed 30 min after the injection and the extravasated dye was extracted with 1N KOH and acetone, neutralized with 1N H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 and the absorbance at 620 nm was determined. The test compounds were administered orally in a dose of 1 mg/Kg 1 hr before antigen challenge. The inhibitory activity of a test compound was expressed as percent inhibition of PCA as compared with the control group. The results are shown in Table 2.

The compounds of the present invention exhibited more potent antiallergic activity than the reference compounds.

The inhibitory activity of noradrenaline and 5hydroxytryptamine uptake and anticholinergic activity were also examined. The compounds of the present invention showed little activity, while the reference compounds showed considerable activity.

Since the compounds of the present invention hardly have the above activity, these compounds, and because they cause no side effects such as, for example, psychogenesis, dipsia and dysuria derived from these activities, are expected to be excellent, selective antihistaminic and antiallergic agents.
