The first potent and selective non-imidazole human histamine H4 receptor antagonists

J Med Chem. 2003 Sep 11;46(19):3957-60. doi: 10.1021/jm0341047.

Abstract

Following the discovery of the human histamine H4 receptor, a high throughput screen of our corporate compound collection identified compound 6 as a potential lead. Investigation of the SAR resulted in the discovery of novel compounds 10e and 10l, which are the first potent and selective histamine H4 receptor antagonists to be described.
