1-Methylhistamine dihydrochloride has been used as a standard in the evaluation of histamine levels in aqueous humor of glaucoma patients by liquid chromatography. It has also been used as a substrate to determine amine oxidase activity.
Biochem/physiol Actions
1-Methylhistamine is present in the brain and is a metabolite of histamine that is metabolized by histamine N-methyltransferase. It acts as a biomarker for histaminergic system activity in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from Alzheimer′s disease (AD), hypersomnia, and other neurological conditions.
Major metabolite of histamine by histamine N-methyltransferase.
Histamine is most densely distributed in the hypothalamus and has an important effect on consciousness or wakefulness. It has been little considered whether general anesthetics could exert their effects on hypothalamic histamine metabolism. The present study was conducted to investigate

We previously reported that some N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antagonists enhanced histamine neuron activity in rodents. Here, we have investigated the effects of memantine, an NMDA-receptor antagonist used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, on histaminergic neurotransmission. In vitro, memantine antagonized native
An improved high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for simultaneous analysis of histamine (HA) and tele-methylhistamine (tele-MHA) levels in mouse and rat brain. The method consists of a solid-phase extraction (SPE) and subsequent HPLC with postcolumn derivatization of the
Inability to replicate cerebrospinal fluid histamine deficits in the primary hypersomnias: a back to the drawing board moment.

1. The antagonistic actions of parafluorohexahydrosiladiphenidol (pFHHSiD) at muscarinic receptors has been studied in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and cell culture preparations. In this paper, the classification scheme of Doods et al. (1987) is employed. This scheme is based upon
