Biological activities

Ketotifen fumarate (KF) has been prophylactically used for chronic asthma. It is an FDA approved antihistaminergic and stabilizes the mast cells. It is also being used in the treatment of rhinitis and conjunctivitis [1]. Ketotifen non-competitively blocks the binding of histamine to its H1 receptor and inhibits calcium-dependent vesicle degranulation of activated mast cells. In vivo, it can be used by 0.5-1mg/Kg in rabbits [2].
