Effects of dimaprit and 4-methylhistamine, two histamine H2-receptor agonists, on noradrenaline and serotonin systems in the rat brain were investigated. Administration of dimaprit into the lateral brain ventricle produced 30% decrease in hypothalamal noradrenaline. 2 h after administration of dimaprit the level of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol was increased by 50%. 4-Methylhistamine and histamine produced qualitatively the same effects as dimaprit. Dimaprit and 4-methylhistamine increased locomotor activity in tranylcypromine-treated rats. The hyperkinetic action of both drugs was prevented by phenoxybenzamine. Dimaprit had negligible effect on the serotonin system while 4-methylhistamine and histamine decreased serotonin and simultaneously increased 5-hydroxyindolcacetic acid. 4-Methylhistamine and histamine, but not dimaprit, evoked head-twitches in tranylcypromine-treated rats. It is concluded that dimaprit and 4-methylhistamine act similarly on the noradrenaline system, probably releasing noradrenaline, but having different effects on the serotonin system. 4-Methylhistamine (and histamine) probably releases serotonin from rat hypothalamus while dimaprit does not. The results are discussed in relation to a possible interaction of histamine with both noradrenaline and serotonin systems in the rat brain.
