The effects of a new agonist of histamine (HA) H3 receptors, Imetit (S-[2-(4-(imidazolyl)ethyl]isothiourea) were investigated in vitro and in vivo and compared to those of (R)-alpha-methylhistamine [(R)-alpha-MeHA], a prototypic drug. Imetit inhibited the binding of [3H](R-alpha-MeHA to rat brain membranes

Reuptake and clearance of released serotonin (5-HT) are critical in serotonergic neurotransmission. Serotonin transporter (SERT) is mainly responsible for clearing the extracellular 5-HT. Controlled trafficking, phosphorylation, and protein stability have been attributed to robust SERT activity. H3 histamine receptors (H3Rs)

The histamine H3 receptor (H3R) is abundantly expressed in the Central Nervous System where it regulates several functions pre and postsynaptically. H3Rs couple to Gαi/o proteins and trigger or modulate several intracellular signaling pathways, including the cAMP/PKA pathway and the
