The purpose of the present Study was to investigate the involvement of chemical mediators, other than histamine, in the scratching behavior induced by H-3 antagonists. Scratching behavior was induced by the histamine H-3 antagonists iodophenpropit and clobenpropit (10 nmol/site) when they were injected intradermally into the rostral part of the back of mast-cell-deficient (WBB6F1 W/W-v) and wild-type (WBB6F1 +/+) mice. Subsequently, the effect of spantide, a tachykinin NK1 antagonist, was measured for 60 min. The effects of the H-3 antagonists on in vitro histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells were also investigated. When spantide was injected intradermally at a dose of 0.5 nmol/site, It significantly inhibited the response. Furthermore, iodophenpropit and cloben\propit (10(-6) - 10(-8) M) did not induce histamine release in isolated rat peritoneal mast cells. Our results indicate that substance P is involved in the skin responses elicited by the histamine H-3 antagonists. Moreover, the fact that these histamine H-3 antagonists did not induce significant increases in the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells Suggests that the histamine H-3 receptor may not be present in the peripheral cells considered in this study.
