The peptide hormones bradykinin and kallidin (Lys-bradykinin), as well as their analogues [des-Arg9]-bradykinin, a selective B1 agonist, [des-Arg9,Leu8]-bradykinin, a selective B1 antagonist, and [Thi5,8,D-Phe7]-bradykinin and D-Arg0-[Hyp3,D-Phe7]-bradykinin, two selective B2 antagonists, induced rapid histamine release from purified rat peritoneal mast cells.
The inhibitory effect of benzalkonium chloride showed that the G proteins involved belong to the Gi type.

The effect of neurotensin was markedly different from that of substance P, bradykinin and compound 48/80 with respect to both the dose-response curve and the sensitivity to benzalkonium chloride.

Histamine release was dose-dependently inhibited by pertussis toxin (1-100 ng/ml) and by benzalkonium chloride (0.1-3 micrograms/ml).

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.
