Results Of the three nicotinic receptor agonists tested, [3H]cytisine displayed the highest affinity for the neu- ronal nicotinic receptor (Table 1). It had a significantly higher affinity of 0.145 + 0.011 nM (P < 0.05, Fig. 1A) as compared to KD values of 0.89 + 0.06 and 1.07 _+ 0.13 nM for [3H]nicotine (Fig.
Chemically, levocetirizine is the active enantiomer of cetirizine. It is the R-enantiomer of the cetirizine racemate. Levocetirizine is an inverse agonist that decreases activity at histamine H1 receptors.This in turn prevents the release of other allergy chemicals and increased blood supply to the area, and provides relief from the typical symptoms of hay fever.It does not prevent the actual release of histamine from mast cells.ike many new drugs it entered the market at a higher price than currently available third and second generation antihistamines.
