Outline of Final Research Achievements |
HIstamine acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. In this study,I examined the importance of a histamine metabolizing enzyme for brain functions. I revealed the essential role of this enzyme in the regulation of brain histamine and the contribution to brain functions such as sleep-wake cycle and aggression. Previous reports showed that brain histamine concentration was decreased in various brain diseases. Thus, I tried to develop new inhibitors against the histamine metabolizing enzyme to increase brain histamine concentration. I have confirmed that several compounds have sufficient inhibitory effects on the histamine metabolizing enzyme.
