A carboxylic acid compound represented by formula (I): (meanings of the symbols in the formula are as mentioned in the specification) and a pharmaceutical agent comprising the compound. <>Since the compound represented by formula (I) binds to a DP receptor and shows antagonistic activity for the DP receptor, it is useful for prevention and / or treatment of diseases such as allergic disease (such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and food allergy), systemic mastocytosis, disorders accompanied by systemic mast cell activation, anaphylaxis shock, bronchoconstriction, urticaria, eczema, diseases accompanied by itch (such as atopic dermatitis and urticaria), diseases (such as cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection and sleeping disorders) which is generated secondarily as a result of behavior accompanied by itch (such as scratching and beating), inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, ischemic reperfusion injury, cerebrovascular accident, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, pleurisy, ulcerative colitis and the like. Carboxylic acid compounds represented by the following general formula (I) (wherein each symbol is as defined in the description) and drugs containing these compounds: (I) Because of binding to DP receptor and antagonizing the same, the compounds represented by the general formula (I) are useful in preventing and / or treating allergic diseases (allergic nephritis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, food allergy, etc.), systemic mast cell disease, systemic mast cell activation failure, anaphylactic shock, respiratory tract contraction, urticaria, eczema, diseases associated with itch (atopic dermatitis, urticaria, etc.), diseases (cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection, sleep disorder, etc.) secondarily caused by behaviors associating itch (scratching, beating.

The present invention is directed to the dihydrogen phosphate salt of 2-(3-{6-[2-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-ethylamino]-2-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl}-phenyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid of Formula (III), a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of the compound of Formula (III), and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; and a method of treating a patient suffering from a PGD2-mediated disorder including, but not limited to, allergic disease (such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and food allergy), systemic mastocytosis, disorders accompanied by systemic mast cell activation, anaphylaxis shock, bronchoconstriction, bronchitis, urticaria, eczema, diseases accompanied by itch (such as atopic dermatitis and urticaria), diseases (such as cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection and sleeping disorders) which is generated secondarily as a result of behavior accompanied by itch (such as scratching and beating), inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, ischemic reperfusion injury, cerebrovascular accident, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, pleurisy, ulcerative colitis and the like.

The invention refers to a recombinant human diamine oxidase (DAO) with decreased glycosaminoglycan binding affinity, wherein said DAO comprises at least one amino acid modification in the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding domain. The present invention also refers to the use of the DAO in the treatment of a condition associated with excess histamine, specifically in the treatment of chronic allergic diseases, more specifically in the treatment of anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, chronic urticaria, acute urticaria, asthma, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, histamine intoxication, headache, atopic dermatitis inflammatory diseases, mastocytosis, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), pre-eclampsia, hyperemesis gravidarum, pre-term labor, peptic ulcers, acid reflux, pruritus, and sepsis.

The subject invention pertains to the development of a novel human mast cell line, USF-MC1. USF-MC1 is a mast cell precursor present in human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) that may be sustained in culture in the absence of exogenous cytokines to serve as a convenient experimental model of human mast cell activation. The SCF-independent human mast cell line USF-MC1 responds to IgE-mediated and IgE-independent stimuli in a way comparable to that of LAD2. USF-MC1 cells are useful for investigation of IgE-mediated activation mechanisms of human mast cells, contributing to the development of effective treatments for allergic disorders and other disorders. The subject invention provides a ready source of human mast cells for research, including pharmacological studies for the screening of various agents, and toxicologic, e.g., for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The mast cells can also be used as biofactories, for the large-scale production of biomolecules.

The invention concerns the use of a mast cell activation- or degranulation-blocking agent in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing and treating cerebral complications caused by thrombolytic treatment. The invention also relates to treatment of patients suffering from cerebral complications associated with thrombolysis. Further, the invention provides thrombolytic compositions comprising a mast cell degranulation-blocking and / or mast cell activation-blocking agent present in a therapeutically effective amount to prevent or reduce any cerebral complications caused by the active thrombolytic component.
