Biological Activity
|
H3 Receptor 50.3 nM (Kd) |
(R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide is an H3-agonist that is >10 times as potent as histamine (HA). Its selectivity toward H3-receptors is >1000 times as high as that of HA. (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide has only weak affinities for H1 and H2 receptor with a pKi=4.8 and <3.5, repectively. (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide displays >200-fold selectivity over H4 receptors[1][2][3].

(R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride (6.3 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly decreases the steady-state t-MH level in the mouse brain, whereas these compounds produced no significant changes in the HA level[3].
