Associations of imetit with other chemical compounds

  • The electrically-evoked tritium overflow (0.3 Hz) was inhibited by histamine or the H3 receptor agonist imetit, acting via H3 receptors. and by prostaglandin E2 or the EP3 receptor agonist sulprostone, acting via EP3 receptors [16].
  • In vivo microdialysis established that neither imetit nor thioperamide altered extraneuronal levels of dopamine and its metabolites in the striatum of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats [17].
  • In previous research we found that pre-training administration of histamine H3 receptor agonists such as (R)-alpha-methylhistamine and imetit impaired rat performance in object recognition and a passive avoidance response at the same doses at which they inhibited the release of cortical acetylcholine in vivo [18].
  • The H3 receptor agonists R(alpha)methyl-HA, BP 2-94 or imetit injected intraperitoneally (ip) had no effect on basal secretion of ACTH or PRL but inhibited the ACTH and PRL responses to restraint stress and the ACTH response to LPS endotoxin [19].
  • In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), imetit also inhibited the overflow of tritium [20].
 

Gene context of imetit

  • RAMHA, NAMHA, and imetit inhibited forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in HH4R-expressing cells [21].
  • Imetit potencies relative to HA were less than 0.1% and only 0.6% at HA H1 and H2 receptor reference systems, respectively [13].
  • The inhibitory effect of imetit on catecholamine-induced release of ACTH may be due to an activation of H3 receptors located presynaptically on non-histaminergic neurons, e.g. aminergic neurons [22].
  • Imetit was found not to be a substrate or an inhibitor of HMT [13].
  • Histamine, imetit, and impentamine were full agonists in the cAMP assay, but imetit exhibited only partial agonist activity through the chimeric G protein [23].
