Pemirolast is a mast cell stabiliser that inhibits the in vivo Type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction. It inhibits chemotaxis of eosinophils into the ocular tissue and blocks the release of mediators. It is also reported to prevent calcium influx into mast cells following antigen stimulation. It has also been used in the treatment of chronic asthma and prophylaxis of allergic rhinitis.
