title: N alpha-alkylated derivatives of 2-phenylhistamines: synthesis and in vitro activity of potent histamine H1-receptor agonists.
abstract: New potent N alpha-alkylated histamine H1-receptor agonists have been prepared and functionally evaluated for partial agonist potency and selectivity. N alpha-Methyl-2-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)histamine contracts ileal segments and aortic rings of guinea-pig with a relative potency of 174% (95% confid. lim. 161-188%) and 217% (164-287%), respectively (histamine: 100%) and is the most potent H1 receptor agonist described so far.
