Description | Betahistine is an orally active histamine H1 receptor agonist and a H3 receptor antagonist[1]. Betahistine is used for the study of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[3]. |

In Vitro | Betahistine (0-10 μM) inhibits [125I]iodoproxyfan binding to membranes of CHO (rH3(445)R) and CHO (hH3(445)R) cells with IC50 values of 1.9 μM and 3.3 μM, respectively. Lead to Ki values of 1.4 μM and 2.5 μM, respectively[2]. Betahistine (0-10 μM) has a regulating function on cAMP formation in CHO (rH3(445)R), CHO (rH3(413)R), and CHO (hH3(445)R) cells. At low concentrations, betahistine behaves an apparent inverse agonist, and progressively enhances cAMP formation with EC50 values of 0.1 nM, 0.05 nM and 0.3 nM, respectively. In contrast, at concentrations higher than 10 nM, betahistine inhibits cAMP formation with an EC50 value of 0.1 μM in CHO (rH3(445)R) and full agonist activity[2]. |
In Vivo | Betahistine (intraperitoneal or oral administration; 0.1-30 mg/kg; single dose) with acute administration has increased tele-methylhistamine (t-MeHA) levels with an ED50 of 0.4 mg/kg, indicating the inverse agonism. Besides, after acute oral administration, it increases t-MeHA levels with an ED50 of 2 mg/kg in male Swissmice[2]. Betahistine (oral adminstration; 1 and 5 mg/kg; daily for 3 weeks) attenuates the severity of arthritis and reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the paw tissues of CIA mice[3]. Animal Model: Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) DBA/1 male mouse model[3] Dosage: 1 mg/kg; 5mg/kg Administration: Oral adminstration; day 21 to day 42 after a 21-day CIA induction Result: Ameliorated mouse CIA by decreasing joint destruction. |
