The substance P analogue, [D-Pro4, D-Trp7,9,10] SP4-11 10 microM, and benzalkonium chloride 10 microM inhibited histamine release from rat mast cells stimulated by either CGRP or substance P.

The mast cell degranulator, compound 48/80 significantly increased CGRP release an effect that was blocked in the presence of the mast cell stabilizer, ketotifen and the selective Gi inhibitor benzalkonium chloride.

The patients were also provoked with tuberculin (delayed immunologic reaction), benzalkonium chloride (irritant contact dermatitis), UV-light and benzoic acid (non-immunologic contact urticaria).

Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) causes selective lesions in gut myenteric neurons after serosal application.
RESULTS: In BAC treated rats radioimmunoassay of tissue extracts revealed a dose related specific loss of gastrin releasing peptide, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide immunoreactivities from the treated region, and immunohistochemistry revealed loss of the neuronal marker PGP 9.5 and the afferent neuropeptide calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP).

The topical tolerability of the commercial preparation of 1-7 Asu-eel and salmon calcitonin with 2% ammonium glycyrrhyzinate and 0.01% benzalkonium chloride, respectively, and of their excipients mixture in solution with increasing concentrations of ammonium glycyrrhyzinate and benzalkonium chloride, respectively, were assessed by investigating their effects on the mucociliary transport velocity in the ex-vivo frog palate preparation.
