Combining with histamine to initiate a change in cell activity. Histamine is a physiologically active amine, found in plant and animal tissue and released from mast cells as part of an allergic reaction in humans. [GOC:ai]
Histamine receptor activity refers to the ability of a protein to bind and respond to histamine, a biogenic amine with diverse physiological roles. Histamine receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are expressed in various tissues and mediate a wide range of cellular processes, including immune responses, inflammation, neurotransmission, and gastric acid secretion.
There are four main types of histamine receptors, designated H1, H2, H3, and H4. Each receptor subtype exhibits distinct pharmacological properties, signaling pathways, and physiological functions:
* **H1 receptors** are primarily involved in allergic reactions, smooth muscle contraction, and inflammation. Upon histamine binding, H1 receptors activate the Gq protein, leading to the production of inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). These second messengers trigger the release of intracellular calcium, which mediates the cellular response. H1 antagonists, such as cetirizine and fexofenadine, are commonly used to treat allergic symptoms.
* **H2 receptors** are mainly found in the stomach, heart, and immune cells. They play a crucial role in gastric acid secretion and cardiovascular regulation. Histamine binding to H2 receptors activates the Gs protein, stimulating adenylyl cyclase and increasing cAMP levels. This signaling cascade ultimately leads to the release of gastric acid. H2 antagonists, such as cimetidine and ranitidine, are used to treat peptic ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders.
* **H3 receptors** are predominantly located in the central nervous system (CNS) and mediate presynaptic inhibition of histamine release. They are also expressed in peripheral tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract and immune cells. H3 receptors couple to the Gi protein, inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and reducing cAMP levels. This signaling pathway modulates neurotransmitter release and other physiological processes. H3 antagonists have therapeutic potential for conditions such as cognitive impairment and obesity.
* **H4 receptors** are primarily expressed in immune cells, including mast cells, eosinophils, and neutrophils. They are involved in inflammatory responses, chemotaxis, and leukocyte activation. H4 receptors couple to the Gi protein, leading to a decrease in cAMP levels. H4 antagonists are being investigated for their potential therapeutic applications in inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
The molecular function of histamine receptor activity encompasses a complex interplay between ligand binding, receptor activation, signaling pathways, and downstream cellular responses. Understanding these intricate mechanisms is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies targeting histamine receptors in various diseases.'

| clozapine | clozapine : A benzodiazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine substituted by a chloro group at position 8 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 11. It is a second generation antipsychotic used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Clozapine: A tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate neuroleptic activity. Agranulocytosis is a major adverse effect associated with administration of this agent. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine; organochlorine compound | adrenergic antagonist; dopaminergic antagonist; EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor; environmental contaminant; GABA antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; xenobiotic |

Olanzapine: A benzodiazepine derivative that binds SEROTONIN RECEPTORS; MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS; HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTORS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-1 RECEPTORS; and DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. It is an antipsychotic agent used in the treatment of SCHIZOPHRENIA; BIPOLAR DISORDER; and MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER; it may also reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine | antiemetic; dopaminergic antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; serotonin uptake inhibitor |
