Application

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

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

Histamine potentiates activation of native and recombinant N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), but its mechanisms of action and physiological functions in the brain remain controversial. Using four different models, we have further investigated the histamine-induced potentiation of various NMDAR-mediated responses. In single

We previously suggested that therapeutic effects of betahistine in vestibular disorders result from its antagonist properties at histamine H(3) receptors (H(3)Rs). However, H(3)Rs exhibit constitutive activity, and most H(3)R antagonists act as inverse agonists. Here, we have investigated the effects
