irdabisant

Irdabisant (CEP-26401) (CEP-26401) is a selective, orally active and blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant antagonist/inverse agonist of histamine H3 receptor (H3R) (rat H3R Ki= 7.2 nM, human H3R Ki= 2.0 nM). Irdabisant exhibits relatively low inhibitory activity against hERG current (IC50= 13.8 μM). Irdabisant exhibits cognition-enhancing and wake-promoting activities in the rat social recognition model. Irdabisant can be used for research on schizophrenia or cognitive impairment.

Irdabisant hydrochloride (CEP-26401) is a selective, orally active, and blood-brain barrier penetrating histamine H3 receptor (H3R) inverse agonist, demonstrating high affinity with K*i values of 7.2 nM and 2.0 nM for rat and human H3R, respectively. Exhibiting relatively low hERG current inhibitory activity with an IC*50 of 13.8 μM, this compound has shown to enhance cognition and promote wakefulness in rat social recognition models, suggesting potential applications in schizophrenia or cognitive impairment research.
