Bioactivity | Thioperamide maleate (MR-12842 maleate) is a potent, orally available, brain penetrant and selective H3 receptor antagonist with a Ki of 4.3 nM for inhibition of [3H]histamine release. Thioperamide maleate inhibits [3H]histamine synthesis with a Ki of 31 nM[1]. |
Invitro | Thioperamide inhibits [3H]-(R)α-MeHA binding rat brain and guinea-pig lung with Kis of 2.1 nM and 2.0 nM, respectively. Thioperamide competitively blocks H3-autoreceptors regulating [3H]histamine release with a mean apparent Ki of 4 nM[1].Thioperamide (0.01-100 μM; 24 hours) promotes the viability of NE-4C stem cells in a concentration-dependent manner[2].Thioperamide displays similar potencies at human H4 and H3 receptors (Ki=43 and 60 nM, respectively)[3].
