Product Description
Thioperamide maleate (MR-12842 maleate) is a potent, orally bioactive, BBB (blood-brain barrier) permeable (penetrable), selective H3 receptor antagonist that can inhibit [3H]histamine release with a Ki of 4.3 nM. Thioperamide maleate inhibits [3H]histamine synthesis with a Ki of 31 nM.
Thioperamide maleate (MR-12842 maleate) is a potent, selective, and orally active histamine H3 receptor antagonist that is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. It is a well-established pharmacological tool used to study the central histaminergic system. Thioperamide inhibits [3H]histamine release with a Ki of 4.3 nM and inhibits [3H]histamine synthesis with a Ki of 31 nM. The compound has been investigated for its effects on cognitive function, seizures, and neurogenesis. As a potent H3 receptor antagonist, it modulates the release of various neurotransmitters, including histamine, acetylcholine, and dopamine, making it a valuable tool in neuroscience research. Thioperamide maleate has a molecular formula of C15H24N4S·C4H4O4 and is supplied as a solid with a purity of ≥98%. It is soluble in water (>10 mg/mL), DMSO (12 mg/mL), and ethanol (3 mg/mL). The compound is not approved for human therapeutic use and is strictly for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
H3 Receptor
Histamine H3 receptor (primary target). Thioperamide maleate is a potent and selective H3 receptor antagonist. It also displays similar potencies at human H4 receptors (Ki = 43 nM).
ln Vitro
With Kis of 2.1 nM and 2.0 nM, respectively, thioperamide inhibits [3H]-(R)α-MeHA binding in the lung of guinea pigs and the brain of rats. With a mean apparent Ki of 4 nM, thioperamide competitively inhibits H3-autoreceptors that control the release of [3H]histones[1]. In a concentration-dependent manner, thioperamide (0.01-100 μM; 24 hours) increases the vitality of NE-4C stem cells[2]. At human H4 and H3 receptors, thioperamide has comparable potencies (Ki=43 and 60 nM, respectively)[3].
Thioperamide is a highly potent H3 receptor antagonist, inhibiting [3H]-[R]α-MeHA binding in rat brain and guinea-pig lung with Ki values of 2.1 nM and 2.0 nM, respectively. It competitively blocks H3-autoreceptors regulating [3H]histamine release with a mean apparent Ki of 4 nM. In a cell viability assay using NE-4C stem cells, Thioperamide (0.01-100 μM; 24 hours) promoted cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner, with a significant increase to 150.83±6.91% at 1 μM. The compound also displays similar potencies at human H4 and H3 receptors (Ki = 43 and 60 nM, respectively).
ln Vivo
In C57BL/6J mice, thioperamide (5–20 mg/kg; ip) can help reconsolidate a contextually-conditioned fear memory[4].
In vivo, Thioperamide (5-20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) facilitates the reconsolidation of a contextually-conditioned fear memory in C57BL/6J mice. It affects the central histaminergic system and decreases the duration of seizures and convulsions in mice. It also improves learning deficits induced by other drugs such as scopolamine. Additionally, Thioperamide enhances neurogenesis and improves chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairments. These findings highlight its potential as a cognitive enhancer and neuroprotective agent.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Thioperamide are performed to evaluate its affinity for the H3 receptor. Radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells or tissues expressing the H3 receptor, such as rat brain or guinea-pig lung, are conducted. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled H3 ligand, such as [3H]-[R]α-MeHA, is measured to calculate its Ki values. Functional assays are also used to assess its antagonist activity by measuring its ability to block H3 receptor-mediated inhibition of [3H]histamine release.
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[2]
Cell Types: NE-4C stem cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: The viability of NE-4C stem cells increased Dramatically to 150.83±6.91% when (1 μM) was administered, and increased to 145.11±14.52% and 132.02%±25.65% when 10 μM and 100 μM were administered respectively.
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted to evaluate the effects of Thioperamide on cell viability and function. For example, NE-4C stem cells are treated with Thioperamide at various concentrations (0.01-100 μM) for 24 hours, and cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT or CCK-8. The compound has been shown to promote cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. These assays help to characterize the cellular effects of H3 receptor antagonism and its potential role in neurogenesis.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Naive female C57BL/6J mice[4]
Doses: 5, 10 or 20 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Injections (ip)
Experimental Results: Facilitated reconsolidation of a contextually-conditioned fear memory.
In vivo animal studies are conducted in rodent models to evaluate the pharmacological effects of Thioperamide. The compound is typically administered via intraperitoneal injection at doses ranging from 5 to 20 mg/kg. Its effects on cognitive function are assessed using behavioral tests such as fear conditioning, novel object recognition, and Morris water maze. Its anticonvulsant activity is evaluated in seizure models. Additionally, its effects on neurogenesis and cerebral blood flow are investigated in models of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Thioperamide is an orally active compound that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and volume of distribution are not extensively documented in publicly available literature. As a lipophilic small molecule, it is expected to be well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body, including the central nervous system. It is likely metabolized in the liver and excreted via the kidneys. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier is a key feature for its use in central nervous system research.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for Thioperamide maleate. As a research compound, its toxicity profile is expected to be related to its mechanism of action as a histamine H3 receptor antagonist. H3 receptor antagonists are generally well-tolerated, but may cause side effects related to increased histaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmission, such as insomnia, anxiety, or gastrointestinal disturbances. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
