Establishment of a human nasal epithelium model of histamine-induced inflammation to assess the activity of fexofenadine as an inverse agonist and its link to clinical benefit

BackgroundFexofenadine (FEX) is an antihistamine that acts as an inverse agonist against histamine (HIS) receptor 1 (H1R), which mediates the allergic reaction. Inverse agonists may be more potent than neutral antagonists, as they bind the same receptor as the agonist (HIS) but stabilize the inactiv...
