TL;DR: In rat peritoneal mast cells, RCM‐102 significantly reduced the compound 48/80‐induced histamine release and significantly reduced NO and PGE2 production as well as the expression of COX‐2 and iNOS in RAW 264.7 cells, indicating that RCM-102 inhibits the formation of several allergic/inflammatory mediators and thus may be used for treating related conditions such as SAR.
