Sample Use Guides

in mice: carcinine at a dose of 20 mg kg(-1) slightly increased histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in the cortex (from 0.186+/-0.069 to 0.227+/-0.009 pmol mg protein(-1) min(-1)). In addition, carcinine (10, 20, and 50 mg kg(-1)) significantly decreased histamine levels in mice brain.
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Carcinine was highly selective for the histamine H3 receptor over H1 or H2 receptor (Ki (microM)=0.2939+/-0.2188 vs 3621.2+/-583.9 or 365.3+/-232.8 microM, respectively).
