title: [Comparison of fenoterol (Berotec) with the antiallergic benzopyrene compound PR-D 92 and a placebo in regard to the cutaneous immediate reaction in allergic patients (author's transl)].
abstract: After discussion of today's knowledge of the mechanism of allergic reactions with particular regard to the adenylyl cyclase system a report is given on an experimental study in which Fenoterol (Berotec), PR-D 92 (Bisbenzopyran) as well as placebo were repeatedly applied to defined areas of the forearm of 30 patients with known pollen allergies. The expansion of the allergy-induced erythemae and weals was exactly measured. A comparison of the sizes showed approximately 50% inhibition of the reaction following application of Berotec, the difference being highly significant compared with PR-D 92 and placebo. There was no statistical difference between the last two.
