The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect caused by the inhibition of histamine catabolism by means of metoprine and the activation of histamine H sub(1) receptors by selective agonists on learning and memory processes, using a modified method of the mouse passive avoidance test. The administration of scopolamine 1 mg/kg (i.p.) immediately after the training session caused statistically-significant amnesia during the retention trial performed 24 h later. Piracetam (30 mg/kg (i.p.)), used as a positive control, and administered 20 min before the training session, prevented scopolamine-induced memory impairment. The histamine-N-methyltransferase inhibitor, metoprine, (2 and 5 mg/kg (s.c.)) had effects similar to those of this nootropic drug. The highly-selective H sub(1) receptor agonist, 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)histamine (FMPH) (2.65 and 6.5 mu g/mouse (i.c.v.)) and the less selective agonist, 2-thiazolylethylamine (2-TEA) (0.1 and 0.3 mu g/mouse (i.c.v.)) both antagonized the scopolamine-induced amnesia significantly and in a dose-related manner. The selective H sub(1) receptor antagonist, pyrilamine (20 mg/kg (i.p.)), revealed no effect by itself, but significantly prevented the antiamnesic action both that of the H sub(1) receptor agonists, and that of endogenous histamine, released by metoprine, thus suggesting a cognitive improvement via the activation of H sub(1) receptors.
