Description

Histamine is a biological mediator involved in both physiological and pathological processes. It plays important roles in:

• Inflammation

• Gastric acid secretion

• Immune responses

• Smooth muscle contraction

• Neurotransmission

Endogenous Production

Endogenous histamine is synthesized in all tissues and is primarily stored in the granules of mast cells or basophils. Historically, histamine is best known as a mediator of allergic reactions and inflammation, but its function as an immunostimulator continues to be studied.

Clinical Applications

Histamine dihydrochloride is used as a topical analgesic for minor muscle and joint pain. It is also being investigated as an orphan drug for adjunctive treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or malignant melanoma.
