Immethridine
Immethridine is a selective histamine H3 receptor agonist. Immethridine inhibits the expression of TLR4/CD14 and the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65. Immethridine reduces inverse agonist-induced scratching, induces cheek-directed wiping rather than itching, and exerts a protective effect against HCl-induced gastric mucosal injury without affecting gastric acid secretion. Immethridine attenuates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and reduces inflammatory infiltration/demyelination in the spinal cord. Immethridine can be used in research on autism spectrum disorders.

In Vitro
Immethridine (100 μM) depolarizes the membrane potential of masseter motor neurons in rat brainstem slices by 6.6 mV without affecting input resistance[3].
Immethridine (0.01 nM-0.1 mM; 60 min) is a selective rat histamine H3 receptor agonist (pKi 7.97) with 75-fold selectivity for rat H4 in radioligand binding assays using HEK293T membranes[4].
Immethridine shows high affinity for the histamine H3 receptor in SK-N-MC membrane binding data (pKi 9.07), with 288-fold selectivity over H4[4].
Immethridine acts as a full agonist at the human histamine H3 receptor in SK-N-MC cells with a pEC50 of 9.74, and has a pEC50 of 6.04 at the human H4 receptor[5].
Immethridine inhibits electrically induced twitch contractions of the guinea pig ileum myenteric plexus, with a pD2 of 7.45 and an Emax of 38.5%[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Immethridine (30 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose; 30 min before intradermal injection of Pitolisant) reduces Pitolisant (HY-12199)-induced acute itch scratching behavior in female BALB/c mice[8].
Immethridine (20-45 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) reduces spontaneous activity in C57BL/6J mice and, at 45 mg/kg, increases the time spent in stereotyped patterns while decreasing grooming behavior[10].

-
Animal Model:C57BL/6 (female, 8-10 weeks old)[1]
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; every other day; after observable signs of EAE occurred
-
Result:Immethridine-administered EAE mice had lower disease scores than control EAE mice.
At day 21, spinal cord sections from Immethridine-administered EAE mice showed fewer inflammatory infiltrates by H&E staining and decreased demyelination by LFB staining.
Splenocytes from Immethridine-administered EAE mice showed lower levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-17A.
In splenocytes from Immethridine-administered EAE mice, Th1 cells were 4.6% of CD4+ cells versus 7.0% in vehicle-administered EAE mice, and Th17 cells were 6.7% versus 9.2%, respectively.
MOG35-55-specific T cell proliferation was lower in Immethridine-administered EAE mice.
Expression of CD40 and CD86 on DCs was lower in splenocytes from Immethridine-administered EAE mice.
MHCII expression on DCs in spinal cord was down-regulated in Immethridine-administered EAE mice.
There were fewer Th1 and Th17 cells in spinal cord from Immethridine-administered EAE mice.
-
Animal Model:Wistar (male; 180-200 g)[4]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg
-
Administration:s.c.; single dose; 30 min before intragastric HCl
-
Result:In conscious rats, immethridine and methimepip significantly reduced (66% and 48% inhibition, respectively) the gastric lesions induced by HCl; the effect of immethridine was antagonized by the H3 receptor antagonist A-331440, but not by the H4 receptor antagonist JNJ7777120.
Previous administration of immethridine and methimepip (both at 30 mg/kg) caused a significant inhibition of the mucosal damage induced by concentrated acid.
The inhibitory effect of immethridine was prevented by prior administration of the histamine H3 receptor antagonist A-331440 (30 mg/kg), but not by the selective histamine H4 receptor antagonist JNJ7777120 (10 mg/kg).
-
Animal Model:BALB/c (female, 6-8 weeks old)[8]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; single administration; 30 min before intradermal pitolisant
-
Result:In mice administered immethridine (30 mg/kg i.p.), intradermal pitolisant-induced scratching was 13 bouts/1 h.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6J (male; 11 weeks of age at start; JAX stock #000664)[10]
-
Dosage:20 mg/kg and 45 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; 30 min before behavioral testing; acute; one-week wash-out periods between assessments
-
Result:Decreased distance moved in C57BL/6J mice, with reductions in locomotor activity at 20 mg/kg and 45 mg/kg.
At 45 mg/kg, the reduction in locomotor activity was associated with increased time spent in stereotypic patterns and reduced grooming behavior.
The increased stereotypic patterns at high-dose immethridine occurred in mice with very low activity levels, consistent with general sedative properties.
