Novel human histamine H(3) receptor antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Nov 18;12(22):3309-12. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00738-2.

Abstract

High throughput screening, using the recombinant human H(3) receptor, was used to identify novel histamine H(3) receptor antagonists. Evaluation of the lead compounds ultimately afforded potent, selective, orally bioavailable compounds (e.g., 38) with favorable blood-brain barrier penetration.
