Claims
- 1. A process for preventing the release of pharmacological mediators from an immediate hypersensitivity reaction between reaginic type antibodies and an antigen, thereby preventing the symptoms manifest in bronchial asthma, seasonal pollinosis, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis, food allergy, and anaphylactoid reactions of a sensitized animal, which comprises prophylactically administering to said animal an effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR12## in which B is a member selected from the group consisting of --OH, lower alkoxy, --NH.sub.2, --NHOH, cyclohexyloxy, and phenoxy.
- 2. The process of claim 1 in which B is lower alkoxy.
- 3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a lower alkyl ester of (2-pyrimidinyl)-oxamic acid in an amount sufficient to suppress allergic manifestations of atopic immediate sensitivity in a warm-blooded animal and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- 4. A compound of the formula: ##STR13## in which R is lower alkoxy.
- 5. The compound of claim 4 which is (2-pyrimidinyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester.
