Notes: VUF8430 is a histamine H4 receptor agonist (Ki = 31.6 nM).{53487} It is selective for histamine H4 over H1 and H3 receptors in radioligand binding assays (Kis = >1 and 1 µM, respectively) and is less active in isolated guinea pig atria, which endogenously expresses high levels of H2 receptors (pD2 = 3.8). VUF8430 inhibits forskolin-induced, cAMP-mediated increases in β-galactosidase activity (EC50 = 50.1 nM). In vivo, VUF8430 (30 mg/kg) enhances HCl-induced formation of gastric lesions in rats.{51085} It also reduces mechanical and thermal allodynia in a mouse model of peripheral neuropathy induced by spared nerve injury (SNI).{53488}
