Biological Activity

(R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide is a very potent, high affinity H3 agonist (KD = 50.3 nM) that displays > 200-fold selectivity over H4 receptors. Inhibits H3-mediated histamine synthesis and release in the CNS and stimulates H4-mediated eosinophil shape change (EC50 = 66 nM).

S-enantiomer also available.
