JNJ10191584 (VUF6002) is an orally active and selective histamine H4 receptor antagonist with a Ki value of 26 nM. JNJ10191584 shows 540-fold selectivity to H4 receptor over H3 receptor with a Ki value of 14.1 μM. JNJ10191584 inhibits chemotaxis of eosinophils and mast cells with IC50 values of 530 nM and 138 nM, respectively.
Tecastemizole (Norastemizole), a major metabolite of Astemizole, is a potent and selective H1 receptor antagonist. Tecastemizole shows anti-inflammatory activities.
Dimaprit dihydrochloride is a selective histamine H2 receptor agonist, it also inhibits nNOS with an IC50 of 49 μM. Dimaprit dihydrochloride can stimulate gastric acid secretion.
Oxatomide is a potent and orally active dual H1-histamine receptor and P2X7 receptor antagonist with antihistamine and anti-allergic activity. Oxatomide almost completely blocks the ATP-induced current in human P2X7 receptors (IC50 of 0.95 μM). Oxatomide inhibits ATP-induced Ca2+ influx with an IC50 value of 0.43 μM and also inhibits serotonin.
Imetit dihydrobromide (VUF 8325 dihydrobromide) is a high affinity and potent agonist of histamine H3 and H4 receptors, with Ki values of 0.3 and 2.7 nM, respectively. Imetit mimics histamine effect in triggering a shape change in eosinophils (EC50=25 nM).
Ciproxifan maleate(FUB-359 maleate) is a highly potent and selective histamin H3-receptor antagonist with IC50 of 9.2 nM, with low apparent affinity at other receptor subtypes.
