Application

Amthamine dihydrobromide is a histamine H2 receptor agonist. Amthamine dihydrobromide has been used to study the effect of mast cells on T regulatory cell function.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amthamine dihydrobromide is a H2 histamine receptor agonist. Amthamine dihydrobromide, similar to histamine, inhibits H2 receptor-mediated eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) release with IC50 = 0.4 μM; a weak antagonist at H3 and shows no activity at H1 receptors.
H2 histamine receptor agonist.

Microglia, the principal sentinel immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), play an extensively vital role in neuroinflammation and perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). Histamine, a potent mediator of inflammation, can both promote and prevent microglia-related neuroinflammation by activating different

Histamine is a major peripheral inflammatory mediator and a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. We have reported that histamine induces microglia activation and releases proinflammatory factors in primary cultured microglia. Whether histamine has similar effects in vivo is unknown.

The new histamine H2 receptor agonist amthamine, [2-amino-5-(2-aminoethyl)-4-methylthiazole], was tested for its activity on gastric acid secretion in different in vivo and in vitro experimental models. Amthamine induced a dose-related increase in acid secretion both in conscious cats with a

The effect of histamine on the pressure-induced constriction was characterized in rat cerebral arteries and mechanisms were investigated. Rat cerebral arteries were pressurized to 70 mm Hg in an arteriograph and the effect of histamine on myogenic tone was studied.
