Levocarnitine propionate hydrochloride (ST-261) is used for the treatment of the deterioration of renal function, congestive heart failure, intermittent claudication, and other diseases.

Betahistine (Vasomotal) is a histamine analog and H1 receptor agonist that serves as a vasodilator. It is used in MENIERE DISEASE and in vascular headaches but may exacerbate bronchial asthma and peptic ulcers. Betahistine dihydrochloride is an anti-vertigo drug. It is commonly prescribed for balance disorders or to alleviate vertigo symptoms associated with Ménière's disease.

4'-O-Methylnyasol may have potential to be developed as medicines for the treatment of allergies by inhibiting the activation of mast cells.

Betahistine mesylate (Extovyl) is a histamine analog and H1 receptor agonist that serves as a vasodilator. It is used in MENIERE DISEASE and in vascular headaches but may exacerbate bronchial asthma and peptic ulcers.

Niaprazine is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist with marked sedative properties. Niaprazine has antihistamine and antiserotonin activities and can be used for sleep disorder research[1][2]. Niaprazine exhibits a low affinity for the vesicular monoamine transporter and for D2, α2, β, H1 and mAch receptors. Niaprazine, particularly the (+)stereoisomer, has a higher affinity for α1 (Ki = 77 nM) and 5-HT2 (Ki = 25 nM) binding sites, but is poorly recognized by 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B binding sites[2]. Niaprazine (60 mg/kg; i.p.; once) treatment increases rat brain 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations 30 min after treatment, and reduced them at 3-8 hr after treatment. Niaprazine also produces a short-lasting depletion of rat brain noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA)[3]. Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (150-200 g)[3] [1]. D Scherman, et al.
