Hypochlorous acid generated by myeloperoxidase reacts with histamine to produce chloramines. At pH 7, one mole of histamine monochloramine (HisCl) was generated per mole of H2O2 provided as substrate for myeloperoxidase. At pH 5, one mole of histamine dichloramine (HisCl2) was generated per two moles of H2O2. HisCl and HisCl2 had two and four oxidizing equivalents per molecule, respectively. In vitro, 30 microM HisCl and HisCl2 induced mepyramine-sensitive guinea pig lung parenchyma contraction with 89 and 56 percent of the response of an equivalent concentration of histamine. Pretreatment of lung strips with chloramines reduced the subsequent contractile response of the tissues to methacholine. These results suggest that H-1 histamine receptors provide for targeting of histamine chloramines to pulmonary tissue which may facilitate modification of tissue responses.
