  • Title: Immunopharmacologic properties of WY-16, 922, a new orally effective antiallergic agent.
    Author: Rosenthale ME, Begany AJ, Dervinis A, Sellstedt J, Guinosso C, Gluckman MI.
    Journal: J Pharmacol Exp Ther; 1976 Jun; 197(3):725-33. PubMed ID: 58988.
    Abstract:
    In a series of tests designed to illustrate immune reactions similar to those obtained in atopic disease, Wy-16,922 effectively inhibited reaginic-mediated immunologic reactions in the skin, lungs and mast cell. It was found to be devoid of immunosuppressant, antimediator, anti-inflammatory, steroid or bronchodilator properties as well as acute toxicity. Although the mechanism of action of Wy-16,922 is unknown, it appears to limit the release (not the effects) of allergic mediators in a manner similar to that described for disodium cromoglycate.
