New potent N-alpha-alkylated histamine HI-receptor agonists have been
prepared and functionally evaluated for partial agonist potency and se
lectivity. -alpha-Methyl-2-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)histamine contract
s ileal segments and aortic rings of guinea-pig with a relative potenc
y of 174% (95% confid. lim. 161 - 188%) and 217% (164 - 287%), respect
ively (histamine: 100%) and is the most potent H-1 receptor agonist de
scribed so far. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
