Various experiments in vitro (dialysis equilibrium, pharmacological action on the guinea-pig ileum, chromatography in Sephadex columns) and in vivo (studies on the bronchospasm of the guinea-pig) lead to the conclusion of a fixation of histamine by the sulfuric ester of pentosan. The activity of this product on the bronehospasm by serotonin has also been demonstrated. The biochemical properties of this substance lead to a decrease of the pharmacologic alactivity of histamine and serotonin, known to be involved in inflammatory reactions.Histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine play an important role in allergic diseases and in inflammation. But histamine, may be, is active only during the initial stages of the acute inflammatory reaction participating mainly in vascular manifestations.The evidence of such a role is given by the complete disappearance of these vascular manifestations by the simultaneous actions of mepyramine on HI receptors and burimamide on H2 receptors.To preyent early manifestations of inflammation, it is necessary to decrease the toxicity of histamine and also that of 5-hydroxytryptamine.Our experiments have shown that many large molecules, such as mucopolysaccharides, bind histamine. First, it was shown that mucine (PARROT [6]) in the gut binds histamine and that is why the guinea-pig is almost insensitive to orally given histamine. In 1951, we could show by equilibrium dialysis that heparin is able to bind in vitro. In the same year we observed that serum bound part of added histamine, and finally it was found that the compound responsine for this phenomenon was a mucopolysaccharide which we called plasmapexine I.
