This study was carried out to examine the effect of an aqueous extract from Siegesbeckia pubescens (Compositae) (SPAE) on immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Forty-eight hours passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats was significantly inhibited by oral administration of SPAE (100 μg/g). It also inhibited histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-IgE and DNP-human serum albumin. The data indicate that SPAE has antiallergic activity, and that its action may be due to inhibition of histamine release from mast cells.

Abstract Background Immediate hypersensitivity reaction to ursodiol is rare and there is no previously published protocol on ursodiol desensitization. Case presentation A 59-year-old woman with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) developed an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to ursodiol—the first-line treatment for PBC. When she switched to a second-line treatment, her PBC continued to progress. As such, she completed a novel 12-step desensitization protocol to oral ursodiol. She experienced recurrent pruritus after each dose following desensitization, which subsided after a month of being on daily ursodiol. Conclusion Immediate hypersensitivity reaction to ursodiol is uncommon. Our case demonstrated that this novel desensitization protocol to ursodiol could be safely implemented when alternative options are not available or have proven inferior in efficacy.
