The pharmacological properties of 8-hexyloxy-3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one, KP-136 were compared with those of an antiallergic medicament, disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) in experimental asthma models. KP-136 (0.125-1 mg/kg i.v., 0.5-2 mg/kg p.o.) produced a dosedependent inhibition to allergic asthma of rats and was more potent than DSCG (1-5 mg/kg i.v.). KP-136 (1 mg/kg, i.v.) was also effective on allergic asthma of guinea pigs, although DSCG was ineffective even at a high dose of 50 mg/kg (i.v.). In rats, both KP-136 and DSCG significantly blocked the reduction of histamine content of the trachea after allergic asthma and inhibited the antigeninduced histamine release from lung fragments (KP-136 0.5μg/ml, DSCG 50μg/ml) and peritoneal exudate cells (KP-136 0.1μg/ml, DSCG 10μg/ml). KP-136 also showed relaxation activity for isolated guinea pig trachea at high doses of 2 and 5μg/ml. The major mechanism of the potent antiasthmatic activity of KP-136 is postulated to be the blocking of bronchoactive mediator release. The relaxation of smooth muscle is also suggested to be an additive mechanism.
