Abstract
Quifenadine was developed in the 1970s in the laboratory of M.D. Mashkovsky and is one of the first examples of the creation of a new class of non-sedative antihistamine with polyfunctional action that combines high selective activity to block histamine receptor type 1 and the ability to block serotonin action and increase tissue histaminase activity.
There is a large experience in the use of quifenadine (based on scientific clinical studies and real clinical practice). The total number of patients involved in the trials reached approximately 2000. The studies evaluated the quifenadipharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, and safety of the grug. The results of a clinical study of quiphenadine showed high therapeutic efficacy in a variety of allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, atopy and atom-atopic dermatitis, chronic urticaria).
Quiphenadine meets the current requirements for antihistamines, however, the question remains open, which generation of drugs can be classified as quinuclidine, taking into account all its characteristics and clinical effects.
