Description

1,4-Dihydroxy-3-methyl-2-naphthyl 4-aminobenzoate is an antihistamine that blocks the histamine H1 receptor. It is used to treat itching and other symptoms in skin conditions such as periungual dermatitis and eczema. The drug is also used to diagnose allergic diseases, such as asthma. 1,4-Dihydroxy-3-methyl-2-naphthyl 4-aminobenzoate binds to the H1 receptor on cells and prevents the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells and basophils. This effect is mediated by a decrease in calcium influx through the cell membrane, which inhibits the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin (IL) -4. In addition, 1,4-dihydroxy 3 methyl 2 naphthyl 4 aminobenzoate has been shown to be
