Tocris/(R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide/0569/10/10 mg
Description: Potent, standard H3 agonist Chemical Name: (R)-(-)-α-Methyl-1H-imidazole-4-ethanamine dihydrobromide Purity: ≥99% (HPLC) Biological Activity Technical Data Solubility Calculators DatasheetsReferences

Biological Activity

Very potent, high affinity H3 agonist (KD = 50.3 nM) that displays > 200-fold selectivity over H4 receptors. Inhibits H3-mediated histamine synthesis and release in the CNS and stimulates H4-mediated eosinophil shape change (EC50 = 66 nM). Part of the Histamine H3 Receptor Tocriset™. (S)-(+)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide (Cat. No. 0572) also available.
