  • Metoprine (BW 197U) is a potent histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) inhibitor. Metoprine, a diaminopyrimidine derivative, can cross the blood-brain barrier and increase brain histamine levels by inhibiting HMT[1][2]. Metoprine is an antifolate and antitumor agent[3].

In Vivo Metoprine (BW 197U; 2-10 mg/kg; IP) ameliorates the memory deficits induced by nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) lesions in a dose-dependent manner[2]. Intraperitoneal administration of Metoprine produces various behavioral effects, including decreases in food intake and increases in water consumption[1]. Animal Model: Male Sprague-dawley rats (200-280g)[2] Dosage: 2, 5, 10 mg/kg Administration: IP Result: Ameliorated the memory deficits induced by nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) lesions in a dose-dependent manner and significanty prolonged transfer latency at a high dose of 10 mg/kg.
