Term
What are two sources of histamine?
Definition
1. Food and bacteria in GI tract
2. Biosynthesis

Definition
Acetylation
Term
What is the precursor to histamine regarding its biosynthesis?
Definition
Histidine
(has carboxylic acid)
Term
In what tissues is histamine stored where it has a slow turnover rate?
Definition
1. Mast cells
2. Basophils in the blood
Term
In what tissues is histamine found where it has a rapid turnover?
Definition
NOT STORED
Synthesized and metabolized
1. Skin
2. Gastric mucosa
3. CNS
Term
List four ways stored histamine is released
Definition
1. Mechanical means - hammer
2. Antigen - antibody reaction
3. Drugs - morphine whealing @ injection site
4. Snake venom
Term
List four things H1 histamine receptors are resposible for.
Definition
1. Mediate contraction of sm. muscle.
ie. Gut and Bronchi
2. Increase post capillary venule permeability
3. Produce rapid, short lived vasodilation
4. CNS wakefulness
Term
What type of receptor is H1 histamine receptors?
Definition
G - protein
IP3 and DAG
Term
What type of receptor is H1 histamine receptors?
Definition
G - protein
IP3 and DAG
Term
List three things H2 histamine receptors are resposible for.
Definition
1. Stimulate gastric acid secretion
2. Inc. force & rate of heart contraction
3. Cause slow develop, long lasting vasodilation
Term
What type of receptor are H2 histamine receptors?
Definition
G - protein
cAMP
Term
Where are H3 histamine receptors found and what do they do?
Definition
Neural autoreceptors (presynaptic)
Modulate synthesis and release in CNS
Term
Where are H3 histamine receptors found and what do they do?
Definition
Neural autoreceptors (presynaptic)
Modulate synthesis and release in CNS
Term
What two enzymes are involved in histamines metabolisms and is it fast or slow?
Definition
1. Histamine N-Methyl transferase
2. Diamine oxidase
rapid metabolism
Term
What does N-Methyl transferase do to histamine?
Definition
Remove methyl
Then MAO = aldehyde
Then to acid
Term
What does diamine oxidase do to histamine?
What special addition can be made?
Definition
Remove basic nitrogen = aldehyde
Then dehydrogenase = acid
SPECIAL ADDITION = can add ribose
Term
Based on the structure of histamine, addition of what increases the SELECTIVITY of H1 agonists?
Definition
Addition of methyl in the 2 position.
Term
Based on the structure of histamine, addition of what increases the SELECTIVITY of H2 agonists?
Definition
Addition of methyl on the 4 position.
Term
What addition to histamine increase the AFFINITY for H3 receptors?
Definition
Addition of a methyl to the alpha position
Term

Aryl Groups
Where and what type of bonds do aryl groups form with receptor?
Definition
Outside of the histamine receptor and they form hydrophobic bonds which ARE stereospecific.
Term
SAR H1 Antag
Aryl Groups
What type of conformation do aryl groups adopt and why?
Definition
Noncoplanar conformation relative to each other for optimal interaction
Term
SAR H1 Antag
Aryl Groups
Do aryl groups have similar or differnet binding environments at the receptor?
Definition
Most likely very different binding environments at site of the recptor.
Term
Are H1 Antags more or less lipophilic than histamine?
Definition
H1 antag are MORE lipophilic.
Term
