INTRODUCTION HISTAMINE: Amine autocoid . Autocoid (Greek word) autos - self akos - remedy/self healing substances Secreted from special cells (endothelial cells or tissues) & transported through the circulatory system to act either locally (at the site of synthesis or release) or on distant target tissues.
HISTAMINIC RECEPTORS HISTAMIN E RECEPTOR H1 RECEPTOR H2 RECEPTOR H3 RECEPTOR H4 RECEPTOR Receptor type GPCR GPCR GPCR GPCR Location Intestinal, bronchial, uterine smooth muscles, CNS, endothelial cells, sensory nerve endings On parietal cells of GIT, Blood vessels, heart, brain On brain, lungs, spleen, skin, gastric mucosa, certain blood vessels On thymus gland, small Intestine, spleen, colon, Bone marrow, Present on surace of basophils
Histamine receptor H 1 receptor H 2 receptor H3 receptor H 4 receptor Specific agonist 2 methyl histamine, 2 thiazolyl etylamine , 2 pyridyl etylamine Dimaprit Impromidine 4 –methy l histamine α - Methyl histamine Imetit Clozapine Specific antagonist Chlorpheniramine , Mepyramine Rantidine , cimetidine Thioperamide , Clobenpropit burimamide thioperamide
HISTAMINE RECEPTOR H1 RECEPTOR H2 RECEPTOR H3 RECEPTOR H4 RECEPTOR Mechanism of action Hydrolysis of PIP2 Increases IP3 and DAG levels Increase in CAMP Levels Decrease in CAMP and calcium levels Decrease in the levels of CAMP and calcium influx Release of intracellular calcium levels Causes opening of potassium channels Phosporylation of proteins Activation of protein kinase c
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS OF RECEPTORS H1 RECEPTORS Contraction of smooth muscles Vasodilation of blood vessels Increase in capillary permeability H 3 RECEPTORS Vasodilation of blood vessels Decreases neurotransmitter release H 2 RECEPTORS Increases gastric secretion from gastric glands Vasodilation of blood vessels Relaxation of uterine smooth muscles Positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on heart H 4 RECEPTORS Causes chemotaxis of WBC
PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ROLE PATHOLOGICAL ROLE In Hypersensitivity reactions In Inflammation PHYSIOLOGICAL ROLE Gastric secretion Neuronal Transmission Tissue growth and repair
INFLAMMATION .Histamine – mediator of vasodilation and changes that occur during inflammation.

TISSUE GROWTH AND REPAIR Histamine-tissue amine,as tissues contain high concentrations of histamine ,plays role in growth and regeneration of tissues. Treats or prevents breast cancer. Blood merges with cholesterol and forms DDA ( Dendrogenin A) A compound with anti-tumour p roperties
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS On blood vessels: Dilates of pulmonary vessels, Dilates cerebal blood vessels, H1-vasodilation-SHORT H2-Vasodilation in smooth muscles ( PROLONGED) Intradermal injection–TRIPLE RESPONSE: Flush/red reaction , Wheal ,Flare
On heart: H2-Positive chronotropic and inotropic effect. H1-decrease AV conduction On smooth muscles: H1-stimulant effect on smooth muscles. contraction of smooth muscles causing bronchoconstriction and increased motility of intestinal mucosa. On gastric glands:H2 On CNS On ganglionic cells
THERAPEUTIC USES Diagnostic purposes. positive control injection in skin hyper reactivity testing. Test acid secreting capacity of stomach. Clinical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma .
