Carcinine dihydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Carcinine (β-Alanylhistamine) dihydrochloride is the dihydrochloride salt of Carcinine (HY-107567). Carcinine is a selective and orally active histamine H3 receptor antagonist with a Ki of 0.2939 μM. Carcinine can reduce histamine content. Carcinine exhibits anti-oxidant activity and neuroprotective effects. Carcinine shows positive inotropic effect and can reduce blood sugar and blood lipid levels. Carcinine can be used for the researches of inflammation, neurological, cardiovascular and metabolic disease, such as retinal damage, seizure and diabetes.

H3 receptor 0.2939 μM (Ki) |
H2 Receptor 365.3 μM (Ki) |
H1 Receptor 3621.2 μM (Ki) |
Carcinine (0.5 mM, 16 h) dihydrochloride forms a stable adduct with 4-HNE (HY-113466) a retention time of 17.5 mins[1].
Carcinine (1 μg-2 mg, 90 mins) dihydrochloride inhibits 4-HNE-induced modification of mouse retinal proteins with an IC50 of 33.2 μg/μL[1].
Carcinine (1 mg, 0-72 h) dihydrochloride reverses pre-formed 4-HNE-retinal protein adducts[1].
Carcinine (5 mM, 4-8 h) dihydrochloride rescues the protein level of retinol dehydrogenase 12 in mouse retinal explants treated with 4-HNE[1].
Carcinine dihydrochloride shows high affinity for histamine H3 receptor (Ki = 0.2939 μM) and extremely low affinity for H1 (Ki = 3621.2 μM) and H2 (Ki = 365.3 μM) receptors[2].
Carcinine (2-50 μM, 22.5 mins) dihydrochloride increases K+-induced endogenous 5-HT release but shows no effect on dopamine release in mouse forebrain slices[2].
Carcinine (10 mM) dihydrochloride scavenges hydroxyl radicals and inhibits deoxyribose damage[3].
Carcinine (10-25 mM, 60 mins) dihydrochloride reduces linoleic acid 13-monohydroperoxide (LOOH) and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in PC liposomes to hydroxy products (LOH)[3].

Carcinine (0.2-20 mg/mouse, i.g., daily for 5 days) dihydrochloride protects the retina in BALB/c mice with bright light exposure[1].
Carcinine (5-50 mg/kg, i.p.) dihydrochloride decreases cortical and midbrain histamine content in ICR mice[2].
Carcinine (2-20 mg/kg, i.p., before PTZ) dihydrochloride significantly reduces the seizure stage induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) in ICR mice[2].
Carcinine (10-20 mg/kg, i.p., 30 mins before scopolamine) dihydrochloride significantly ameliorates Scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced learning deficit in ICR mice[2].
Carcinine (10-50 mg/kg, i.p.) dihydrochloride increases the total ambulation distance in ICR mice[2].
Carcinine (10-100 μg, heart injection via perfusate cannula) dihydrochloride shows positive inotropic effect in guinea pigs[4].
