General description

Conessine is a steroidal alkaloid. It has anti-malarial properties, thus, conessine has been used in treatment of malaria.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Conessine is a plant steroid alkaloid that acts as a potent and specific antagonist of histamine H3 receptors (Ki = 5.37 and 24.5 nM for human and rat receptors, respectively). Conessine is 1860-fold selective for H3 over H4 and does not bind to H1 or H2 receptors. The molecule also binds to the human α2C4 adrenergic receptor (pKi = 7.98).
