Description | (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride is a potent, selective and brain-penetrant agonist of H3 histamine receptor, with a Kd of 50.3 nM[1][2]. (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride can enhance memory retention, attenuates memory impairment in rats[3][4][5]. |

In Vitro | (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride is an H3-agonist that is >10 times as potent as histamine (HA). Its selectivity toward H3-receptors is >1000 times as high as that of HA. (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride has only weak affinities for H1 and H2 receptor with a pKi=4.8 and <3.5, repectively. (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride displays >200-fold selectivity over H4 receptors[1][2][3]. |
In Vivo | Pretreatment with (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride (RAMH; 10 mg/kg; i.p.; 60 min before training) reverses Propofol‐induced (25 mg/kg; i.p.; 30 min before training) memory retention[5]. (R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride (6.3 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly decreases the steady-state t-MH level in the mouse brain, whereas these compounds produced no significant changes in the HA level[3]. Animal Model: Male Sprague‐Dawley rats (10-12 week)[3] Dosage: 10 mg/kg Administration: IP; 60 min before training Result: Reversed propofol‐induced memory retention. |
