TABLE 3
Potencies and efficacies of phenylhistamines 7, 8, and 9 at hH1R coexpressed with RGS4 and at hH2R-GsαS expressed in Sf9 cell membranes in the steady-state GTPase assay and comparison with imidazolylpropylguanidine 19
Steady-state GTPase activity in Sf9 cell membranes expressing hH1R and RGS4 or hH2R-GsαS was determined as described under Materials and Methods. Data were analyzed by nonlinear regression and were best fit to sigmoidal concentration-response curves. The efficacy (Emax) of histamine was set 1.00. The Emax values of all other compounds were referred to this value. Data shown are means ± S.E.M. of at least three experiments, each performed in duplicate. Membranes were used from independent membrane preparations.
