Biological Activity

(R)-(-)-α-Methylhistamine dihydrobromide is a very potent, high affinity H₃ agonist (K_D = 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.
