Application

Ciproxifan maleate has been used as a selective H3R antagonist to investigate the antidepressant potential of ciproxifan in chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model of depression in mice. It has also been used as an H3R antagonist to develop in vivo receptor occupancy assay for histamine H3 receptors (H3R)/to determine the occupancy of exogenous H3R antagonists using non-radiolabeled GSK189254 as a tracer in the rat.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclopropyl 4-(3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propyloxy)phenyl methanone (Ciproxifan) is a species-specific histamine H3 receptor (H3R) inverse agonist. It is mainly used as a reference H3R antagonist in rodent models for neurological diseases, Alzheimer′s disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and sleep-wake disorders. It can block monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) enzyme isoforms reversibly in humans and rats.
Potent, selective H3 histamine receptor antagonist.
