Histamine Antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate histamine receptors, thereby blocking the actions of histamine or histamine agonists. Classical antihistaminics block the histamine H1 receptors only. (See all compounds classified as Histamine Antagonists.)
Butyric acid is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract ...

A pharmacokinetics study was performed by injecting butyric acid as sodium or arginine salts for possible antitumor therapies. In the case of 1-(14)C-labelled butyrate, the appearance of radioactivity in the blood of injected mice is rapid and some of it is maintained for relatively long periods in different organs, mainly the liver. However, no precision can be given about the structure of radioactive compounds in blood and tissues. Using GLC, the metabolism of butyrate in both animals and man were studied. In mice and rabbits, the half-life is less than 5 min. In man, the butyric acid elimination curve can be divided into two parts corresponding to two half-lives: for the first (0.5 min), the slope suggests an accelerated excretion, while for the following (13.7 min), a slow plateau is observed. The rapid elimination of butyrate is a limiting factor for practical applications. However, the lack of toxicity supports its use in human therapy.

Butyric acid is ... rapidly metabolized by the liver. In rats a considerable portion ... is metabolized to acetic acid. Butyric acid metabolism gives rise to ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, acetone) and acetic acid, which may be excreted in the urine or incorporated into normal processes of fat metabolism.

The metabolism of carboxyl-labeled butyric acid by liver tissue was investigated in vitro. It was shown that the test substance was converted to ketone bodies mainly by fission into 2-carbon chains with subsequent recombination, and to a lesser extent by direct beta-oxidation.

In isolated animal tissues butyric acid was oxidized to acetoacetic and beta-hydroxybutyric acid. The formation of carbohydrate and complete oxidation were also reported. Besides the formation of beta-hydroxybutyric acid the formation of ketone bodies represents possibly an alternative path after oxidation at the beta-carbon atom of butyric acid.

... Following butyraldehyde intake ... it is oxidized by aldehyde dehydrogenase, largely in the liver but also in other tissues. Butyric acid undergoes further oxidation via the Krebs cycle, or it may be conjugated with glutathione.

Diet, especially the amount of starch and dietary fiber which escape digestion in the small intestine are major determinants of colon function in man. These carbohydrates are the principal substrates for fermentation by the large bowel flora. Carbohydrate fermentation results in lowered caecal pH and the production of short chain fatty acids of which butyric acid may protect the colon epithelium from dysplastic change. Protein digestion and amino acid fermentation also occur in the large bowel but the nature of its endproducts varies in relation to the amount of carbohydrate available. During active carbohydrate breakdown amino acid fermentation endproducts such as ammonia are used by the bacteria for protein synthesis during microbial growth, but in carbon limited fermentation amines, ammonia, phenols and indoles, etc, accumulate. Fermentation also results in changes in colon pH which alters the metabolism of bile acids, nitrate, sulfate and other substances. Fermentation is thus controlled to a great extent by substrate availability, especially of carbohydrates which are derived from the diet. The potential to induce mutagenic change in colon epithelial cells and promote tumor growth may readily be influenced by diet.

Butyric acid has two contrasting functional roles. As a product of fermentation within the human colon, it serves as the most important energy source for normal colorectal epithelium. It also promotes the differentiation of cultured malignant cells. A switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism accompanies neoplastic transformation in the colorectum. The separate functional roles for n-butyrate may reflect the different metabolic activities of normal and neoplastic tissues. Deficiency of n-butyrate, coupled to the increased energy requirements of neoplastic tissue, may promote the switch to anaerobic metabolism.

Treatment of cultured HeLa cells with 5 mM butyrate caused an inhibition of growth as well as extensive chemical and morphological differentiation. Lysosomal enzyme activity changes are associated with both normal and neoplastic growth as well as many aspects of the neoplastic process. The comparative ultrastructural results showed that the butyrate treated cells had a more extensive internal membranous system than the untreated cells, whereas other organelles seemed unaffected. The histochemical localization of lysosomal acid phosphatase showed a 2-fold increase in particulate reaction product in the butyrate-treated HeLa cells. Butyrate treatment may prevent sublethal autolysis by arresting the leakage of the lysosomal enzymes from the lysosome into the cytosol and thus allowing the cell to differentiate chemically and morphologically.

Exposure of the rat glioma C6 cell line to butyric acid increased levels of L-triiodothyronine in the nuclear and extranuclear compartments. The increase in nuclear binding was not merely a reflection of the higher cellular hormone content, and Scatchard analysis of L-triiodothyronine binding to isolated nuclei revealed that butyric acid increased receptor number without changing affinity. The effect on the receptor was quantitatively important: a 48 hr incubation with 2 mM butyric acid increased nuclear binding by 2-3 fold, and 5 mM butyrate by 35 fold. Butyric acid increased receptor levels by decreasing receptor degradation, since the apparent half-life of receptor disappearance increased by approximately 3 fold in cells incubated with 2 mM butyric acid for 48 hr. Butyric acid had little effect in increasing the level of multiacetylated forms of H3 and H4 histone when studied in acid-urea gels, but it markedly inhibited the turnover of (3)H-acetate from the histone fraction. There was a striking similarity in the dose-response of butyric acid for increasing receptor levels and inhibiting histone deacetylation. Furthermore, a very close correlation between receptor levels and (3)H-acetate release was also found when different short-chain fatty acids were used.
