Proarrhythmic potential of halofantrine, terfenadine and clofilium in an in vivo model of torsade de pointes

open access: yes, 2002
This study was designed to compare the proarrhythmic activity of the antimalarial drug, halofantrine and the antihistamine, terfenadine, with that of clofilium a K+ channel blocking drug that can induce torsade de pointes.

A multicentre controlled trial of terfenadine, dexchlorpheniramine and placebo in allergic rhinitis

open access: yes, 1982
The results of a multicentre double-blind trial are reported in which α-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl]-4-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1-piperidinebut anol (terfenadine, RMI 9918, Triludan®, Teldane®, resp.) and dexchlorpheniramine were compared with placebo in

Molecular Determinants of hERG Channel Block by Terfenadine and Cisapride

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Block of cardiac hERG K+ channels by the antihistamine terfenadine and the prokinetic agent cisapride is associated with prolonged ventricular repolarization and an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia.

The effect of fexofenadine, a newer second-generation antihistaminic, on phenobarbitone sleeping time and its comparison with terfenadine, astemizole and cetirizine in albino rats

open access: yesNational Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2017
Background: The second-generation antihistaminic fexofenadine has been claimed to be superior to terfenadine and cetirizine, in possessing the negligible sedating property and can be safely given to pilots and drivers.

Molecular Cloning and Functional Expression of the Equine K+ Channel KV11.1 (Ether à Go-Go-Related/KCNH2 Gene) and the Regulatory Subunit KCNE2 from Equine Myocardium. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The KCNH2 and KCNE2 genes encode the cardiac voltage-gated K+ channel KV11.1 and its auxiliary β subunit KCNE2. KV11.1 is critical for repolarization of the cardiac action potential.

QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF TERFENADINE BY PROTON MAGNETIC RESONANCE TECHNIQUE

open access: yesZagazig Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1993
A simple, rapid and efficient quantitative method has been achieved for the determination of terfenadine powder and its tablet form (Triludan)®. The method is based on comparison between the integration value of the singlet signal of the t-butyl protons,

Generalized Bullous Fixed Drug Eruption Secondary to Levocetirizine: A Lesson Learned! [PDF]

open access: yesClin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a unique type of adverse drug eruption characterized by a well‐defined erythematous to violaceous patch that recurs at the same site upon re‐exposure to causative drugs and resolves with hyperpigmentation. This distinct drug reaction is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction that is mediated by memory CD8+ T cells ...

Terfenadine induces anti-proliferative and apoptotic activities in human hormone-refractory prostate cancer through histamine receptor-independent Mcl-1 cleavage and Bak up-regulation

open access: yes, 2017
Although the results of several studies have underscored the regulatory effect of H1-histamine receptors in cell proliferation of some cancer cell types, its effect in prostate cancers remains unclear. We have therefore studied the effect of terfenadine (
