histamine h3 receptor subtype has been the target of several recent drug development programs. quantitative structure-activity relationship (qsar) methods are used to predict the pharmaceutically relevant properties of drug candidates whenever it is applicable. the aim of this study was to compare the predictive powers of three different qsar techniques, namely, multiple linear regression (mlr)...

BACKGROUND Histamine drives pruritus in allergic skin diseases which clinically constitutes a most disruptive symptom. Skin pathology in allergic skin diseases is crucially influenced by different T-helper subsets. However, the contribution of different histamine-receptors to T-helper cell dependent skin pathology has not been definitively answered. Models which can specifically address the fun...

The more potent and longer-lasting inhibition of gastric acid secretion provided by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as compared with histamine-2-receptor antagonists is caused in large part by differences in their mechanism of action. PPIs block histamine-2-, gastrin-, and cholinergic-mediated sources of acid production and inhibit gastric secretion at the final common pathway of the H+/K+ adenos...

Serotonin and histamine H1, H2 receptor agonists or antagonists inhibited [3H]histamine uptake by HL-60 cells, according to the following order of potency: impromidine greater than 4-MH greater than histamine greater than AET greater than PEA and: cimetidine, histamine greater than diphenhydramine, serotonin. It is concluded that histamine uptake by HL-60 cells was specifically controlled by th...

The actions of histamine and histamine antagonists on afferent nerve activity were investigated in the lateral line of Xenopus laevis. Histamine (0.002-2.0 mM) had no effect on spontaneous activity or excitatory responses to water motion. In contrast, pyrilamine, an H1 receptor antagonist, suppressed spontaneous activity beginning at 0.01-0.05 mM. Below 0.3 mM the suppression was often preceded...

Histamine mediates its physiological function through binding to four known histamine receptors. Here, we describe the first selective antagonist of the histamine H4 receptor, the newest member of the histamine receptor family, and provide evidence that such antagonists have anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. 1-[(5-chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)carbonyl]-4-methylpiperazine (JNJ 7777120) has a K(i) of 4...
