摘要
In this study, the piperidine ring of immepip and its analogues was replaced by a rigid heterocyclic pyridine ring. Many compounds in the series exhibit high affinity and agonist activity at the human histamine H-3 receptor. Particularly, the 4-pyridinyl analogue of immepip (1c, immethridine) is identified as a novel potent and highly selective histamine H3 receptor agonist (pK(i) = 9.07, pEC(50) = 9.74) with a 300-fold selectivity over the closely related H-4 receptor.
