The pharmacological activity of the histamine H 3 receptor antagonist VUF 9153 (S-[3-(4 (5)-imidazolyl)] propyl-N-(4-chlorobenzyl) isothiourea) has been investigated in vitro and in vivo. VUF 9153 displaced [3 H] N α-methylhistamine binding to rat cortex/hippocampal membranes (pK i= 9.77±0.03) and antagonised the inhibitory responses to (R)-α-methylhistamine against electrical field stimulation in the isolated longitudinal smooth muscle preparation of guinea-pig ileum (pK B= 9.95±0.07). In these assays, VUF 9153 was 10–50-fold more potent than the prototype H 3 receptor antagonist thioperamide. VUF 9153 showed no or very weak activity in in vitro functional assays for histamine H 1 or H 2 receptors. Systemic administration of VUF 9153 (sc or po) dose-dependently inhibited the ex vivo binding of [3 H] N α-methylhistamine to rat cortex/hippocampal membranes and dipsogenic responses induced by (R)-α-methylhistamine. Calculation of ED 50 values, at the 1 h pretreatment time used, revealed that VUF 9153 administered sc or po, was approximately 2-fold weaker than thioperamide. These data indicate that, like thioperamide, VUF 9153 is a potent and selective antagonist for histamine H 3 receptors in vitro, possesses the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier to access central H 3 receptors and can inhibit H 3 receptor-mediated functional responses in vivo.
