The histamine receptors (HRs) are members of G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily and traditional targets of huge therapeutic interests. Recently, H3R and H4R have been explored as targets for drug discovery, including in the searc

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present high prevalence rates in the current world. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the global deaths are related to CVDs, and thus there is still a need for novel drugs to treat these disorders. We serendipitously discovered that LINS01005 (5a) is a potent vasodilating agent in rat aorta, and therefore a set of analogues were evaluated for the vasodilating potency in Wistar and SHR rat thoracic aorta precontracted with norepinephrine, with endothelium intact (E+) or denuded (E–) aortic rings. Compounds 5a and 5b were the most potent, showing submicromolar potency for endothelium intact vessels (EC50 853 and 941 nM, respectively) and micromolar values for E– vessels (EC50 2.4 and 7.1 μM, respectively). These compounds were indeed significantly more potent vasodilating agents in SHR-derived aortic rings (p 50 2.4 nM (E+) 9.0 nM (E–)] and 5b [EC50 20 nM (E+) 2.1 μM (E–)]. SAR analysis though PCA and HCA were performed, suggesting that N-phenylpiperazine is essential to the activity, while increasing volume in the substituted aromatic moiety is detrimental to the potency. This is the first report of the vasodilating properties of such compounds, and studies regarding the mechanism of action are in progress in our group.

Histamine is a transmitter that activates the four receptors H1R to H4R. The H3R is found in the nervous system as an autoreceptor and heteroreceptor, and controls the release of neurotransmitters, making it a potential drug target for neuropsychiatric conditions. We have previously reported that the 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methylpiperazines (LINS01 compounds) have the selectivity for the H3R over the H4R. Here, we describe their pharmacological properties at the human H1R and H2R in parallel with the H3R, thus providing a full analysis of these compounds as histamine receptor ligands through reporter gene assays. Eight of the nine LINS01 compounds inhibited H3R-induced histamine responses, but no inhibition of H2R-induced responses was seen. Three compounds were weakly able to inhibit H1R-induced responses. No agonist responses were seen to any of the compounds at any receptor. SAR analysis shows that the N-methyl group improves H3R affinity while the N-phenyl group is detrimental. The methoxy derivative, LINS01009, had the highest affinity.
