Mepyramine maleate
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Mepyramine maleate (Pyrilamine maleate) is a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist and KCNQ channel inhibitor, with an IC50 of 12.5 μM against KCNQ2/Q3. Mepyramine maleate shows no activity against allergic asthma in mice when used alone, but modulates the effect of JNJ 7777120 (HY-13508) on allergic asthma in mice; it inhibits the development of morphine physical dependence and increases histamine levels in mouse brains. Mepyramine maleate can be used in studies related to seizures, convulsions, allergic asthma and morphine physical dependence.

maleate of mepyramine (100 μM) potently and reversibly inhibits heterologously expressed KCNQ2/Q3 channels in HEK293 cells, with an IC50 of 12.5 μM, and alters channel gating kinetics and voltage-dependent activation in a voltage-dependent manner[1].
Mepyramine maleate inhibits homologous KCNQ1, KCNQ2, KCNQ3, KCNQ4 channels and heterologous KCNQ3/Q5 channels in HEK293 cells, with differential inhibitory potency; it exhibits the strongest activity against KCNQ3/Q5 (IC50 = 4.2 μM) and KCNQ3 (IC50 = 9.1 μM)[1].

Pyrilamine (mepyramine) (50 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) administered at the start of morphine dependence induction in WHT/Ht mice inhibits the development of morphine physical dependence (requiring 34.5-fold higher naloxone dose to precipitate 50% withdrawal jumping) without affecting morphine tolerance, and increases brain histamine levels by 25-37%[4].

-
Result:Increased brain histamine levels 24 hours post-treatment: Non-tolerant mepyramine-treated mice had 25% higher brain histamine than non-tolerant controls; tolerant mepyramine-treated mice had 37% higher brain histamine than tolerant controls.
Brain histamine was 16% higher in tolerant mepyramine-treated mice than non-tolerant mepyramine-treated mice.
All increases were statistically significant.
