High impact information on Amthamine

  • Using transiently transfected COS-7 cells expressing tagged-H2r, the desensitization induced by amthamine, characterized by decreased cAMP production, was studied [1].
  • Histamine and amthamine, a selective histamine H(2)-receptor agonist, concentration-dependently decreased myogenic tone, which was unchanged in the absence of endothelium [2].
  • Mesenteric bed dilation initiated by histamine H2 receptor selective agonists, amthamine and dimaprit, were antagonized markedly by tiotidine [3].
  • Whereas the increase in blood pressure induced by amthamine seems to be mainly mediated by a direct activation of postjunctional alpha 2 adrenoceptors, the increase in heart rate is predominantly due to neuronal release of catecholamines [4].
  • Amthamine was an effective secretagogue also in the rat isolated gastric fundus, behaving as a full agonist (EC50 = 18.9 mumol/l) [5].
