Application

2-((3-Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)histamine dimaleate has been used to study the induction of goblet cell secretion in rats3. 2-((3-Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)histamine dimaleate has also been used to study the role of H1 receptor in COX-2 regulation and prostanoid homeostasis in human vascular endothelial cells4.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-((3-Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)histamine dimaleate was found to be the most potent and selective H1 histamine receptor agonist of a panel of compounds in functional in vitro studies on histamine H2, H3, and other neurotransmitter receptors. It showed better potency at the guinea pig H1 histamine receptor than at the human H1 histamine receptor (pKi : 5.9). The selectivity of 2-((3-Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)histamine dimaleate was found to be 2138 (H1:H2), > 64 (H1:H3), 1000 (H1:M3), 105 (H1: a1), 708 (H1:β1), and 71 (H1:5HT2A). 2-((3-Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)histamine dimaleate does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

New histamine derivatives characterized by a (substituted) aryl, heteroaryl, benzyl, or heteroarylmethyl substituent in the C2 position of the imidazole ring have been prepared from appropriate imidates or amidines, respectively, and 2-oxo-4-phthalimido-1-butyl acetate (1). The compounds were screened as potential

Species isoforms of histamine H2-, H3-, and H4-receptors differ in their pharmacological properties. The study aim was to dissect differences between the human H1R (hH1R) and guinea pig H1R (ghH1R). We coexpressed hH1R and gpH1R with regulators of G-protein signaling

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of histamine and its receptors on goblet cell secretion. Cultured rat and human goblet cells were grown in RPMI 1640. Goblet cell secretion of high molecular weight glycoconjugate was measured

Although histamine plays an essential role in inflammation, its influence on cyclooxygenases (COX) and prostanoid homeostasis is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of histamine on the expression of COX-1 and COX-2 and determined their contribution

Testicular Leydig cells (LC) are modulated by several pathways, one of them being the histaminergic system. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), whose upregulation comprises the primary response to oxidative noxae, has a central homeostatic role and might dysregulate LC functions when induced.
