An approximately 20 mm strip of isolated ileum was mounted vertically under a 0.5 g load in an organ bath containing 10 ml of Locke-Ringer solution (NaCl: 154 mM, KCl: 5.6 mM, CaCl₂ · 2H₂O: 2.2 mM, MgCl₂ · 6H₂O: 2.1 mM , NaHCO₃ : 5.9 mM , glucose: 2.8 mM ) maintained at 28 °C and bubbled with 95% O₂ and 5% CO₂. The contractile response was recorded on a recticorder an isotonic transducer. The concentration-contractile response curve to histamine was constructed before and after 30 min contact with test compounds. The dissociation constant K B (M) of test compounds was calculated according to the method of Furchgott ("Catecholamines" Edited by Blaschko, H. and Muscholl, E., 283-335, Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg and New York, 1972).

Antiallergic activity (48 hr homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rat) Male Wistar rats, 6 weeks of age, were passively sensitized by intracutaneous injection in the back of a volume of 0.1 ml of anti-DNP-As rat serum. Forty-eight hours later, the animals were administered an intravenous injection of 0.5 ml saline solution containing 1 mg of DNP-As and 5 mg of Evans blue. The animals were sacrificed 30 min after the injection and the extravasated dye was extracted with 1N KOH and acetone, neutralized with 1N H₃PO₄ and the absorbance at 620 nm was determined. The test compounds were administered orally in a dose of 1 mg/Kg 1 hr before antigen challenge. The inhibitory activity of a test compound was expressed as percent inhibition of PCA as compared with the control group. The results are shown in Table 2.
