|
1
Montelukast
UNII U1O3J18SFL - MONTELUKAST SODIUM
|
|
Montelukast is an orally active compound which binds with high affinity and selectivity to the CysLT1 receptor. ฮคhe CysLT type-1 (CysLT1) receptor is found in the human airway (including airway smooth muscle cells and airway macrophages) and on other pro-inflammatory cells (including eosinophils and certain myeloid stem cells). CysLTs have been correlated with the pathophysiology of asthma and allergic rhinitis. |

2
Levocetirizine
UNII SOD6A38AGA - LEVOCETIRIZINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE
|
|
Levocetirizine, the ® enantiomer of cetirizine, is a potent and selective antagonist of peripheral H1-receptors. Pharmacodynamic studies in healthy volunteers demonstrate that, at half the dose, levocetirizine has comparable activity to cetirizine, both in the skin and in the nose. |
