In the present study, we have demonstrated that multiple first-generation H1-antagonists caused behavioral and EEG seizures in rats. The epileptogenic property of pyrilamine was more potent than either chlorpheniramine or diphenhydramine. In contrast, the second-generation H1-antagonists, loratadine and ebastine did not induce detectable epileptogenic activity. Intraperitoneal injection of histidine inhibited the EEG seizures induced by pyrilamine, diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine; however no antagonism was observed with physostigmine. These results clearly suggest that the epileptogenic activity of first-generation H1-antagonists is dependent upon a centrally acting histaminergic mechanism. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
