Competition experiments with [(3)H]mepyramine showed that cetirizine and its enantiomers, levocetirizine and (S)-cetirizine, bound with high affinity and stereoselectivity to human H(1) histamine receptors (K(i) values of 6, 3, and 100 nM, respectively). Cetirizine and levocetirizine were 600-fold more selective for H(1) receptors compared with a panel of receptors and channels. Binding results indicated that the interaction between cetirizine, its enantiomers, and histamine is compatible with… Expand
