Histamine, a biogenic amine with important biological functions, is produced from histidine by histidine decarboxylase (HDC), a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme. HDC is thus a potential target to attenuate histamine production in certain pathological states. Targeting mammalian HDC with novel inhibitors
