Pitolisant

Description:
IC50 Value: 0.16 nM(Ki value); 1.5 nM(EC50) [1]
Pitolisant (BF2.649) is a novel, potent, and selective nonimidazole inverse agonist at the recombinant human H3 receptor. BF2.649 behaved as a competitive antagonist with a Ki value of 0.16 nM and as an inverse agonist with an EC50 value of 1.5 nM and an intrinsic activity approximately 50% higher than that of ciproxifan.
in vitro:  BF2.649 behaved as a competitive antagonist with a Ki value of 0.16 nM and as an inverse agonist with an EC50 value of 1.5 nM and an intrinsic activity approximately 50% higher than that of ciproxifan. Pitolisant in vitro potency was approximately 6 times lower at the rodent receptor [1].
in vivo: In mice, the oral bioavailability coefficient, i.e., the ratio of plasma areas under the curve after oral and i.v. administrations, respectively, was 84%. BF2.649 dose dependently enhanced tele-methylhistamine levels in mouse brain, an index of histaminergic neur
