Effect of drugs on histamine radio-enzyme assay.
The effect of over 200 drugs and other compounds on histamine radio-enzyme assay was studied. Some muscle relaxants (e.g. alcuronium), some sympathomimetics (e.g. dopamine, isoxsuprine, tyramine and possibly phenylethylamine), antimalarial drugs, procaine, procainamide, Berenil and serotonin were potent compounds to interfere with this assay. In some special cases still potentially inhibitory drugs seemed to be some muscle relaxants (e.g. vecuronium, pancuronium and tubocurarine), antidepressants, antihistamines (e.g. cimetidine, ranitidine and diphenhydramine), chinidin, disopyramide, tolazoline and salazosulfapyridine.
