Biological Activity
| Description | Betahistine (PT-9) is a histamine H3 receptor inhibitor with IC50 of 1.9 μM. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Targets |
|
||
| In vitro | Betahistine progressively enhances cAMP formation with a maximal effect, observed up to 10 nM, in CHO(H3R) cells incubated with 3 μM forskolin. In contrast, at concentrations higher than 10 nM betahistine progressively inhibits cAMP formation in CHO(H3R) cells incubated with 3 μM forskolin. Betahistine progressively reduces A23187-evoked [3H]arachidonic acid release (EC50=0.1 nM) with a maximal effect, observed up to 30 nM A23187-evoked [3H]arachidonic acid release from CHO(H3R) cells. Betahistine progressively enhanced the release of A23187-evoked [3H]arachidonic acid from CHO(H3R) cells at concentrations higher than 30 nM. [1] | ||
| In vivo | Betahistine (< 30 mg/kg) increases t-MeHA levels in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 of 2 mg/kg and a maximal effect of ∼35% reached at 30 mg/kg in mouse brain. [1] Betahistine (16 mg twice per day for 3 months) has a significant effect on the frequency, intensity and duration of vertigo attacks, associated symptoms and the quality of life also are significantly improved in patients with Meniere's disease. [2] Betahistine-dihydrochloride (16 mg tid and 48 mg tid) shows that the number of attacks per month decreased in both doses over time in Meni鑢e's disease. [3] Betahistine (50 mg/kg) treatment induces symmetrical changes with up-regulation of histidine decarboxylase mRNA in the tuberomammillary nucleus and reduction of [3H]N-alpha-methylhistamine labeling in both the tuberomammillary nucleus, the vestibular nuclei complex and nuclei of the inferior olive in brain sections of cats.
