H 1 antagonists, also called H 1 blockers, are a class of medications that block the action of histamine at the H 1 receptor, helping to relieve allergic reactions. Agents where the main therapeutic effect is mediated by negative modulation of histamine receptors are termed antihistamines ; other agents may have antihistaminergic action but are ...
Ball-and-stick model of cimetidine, the prototypical H 2 receptor antagonist. H 2 antagonists, sometimes referred to as H2RAs [1] and also called H 2 blockers, are a class of medications that block the action of histamine at the histamine H 2 receptors of the parietal cells in the stomach. This decreases the production of stomach acid.
H 1-receptor antagonists are competitive inhibitor of histamine receptor H 1 and are used to treat allergies. This group is often referred simply as antihistamines . Wikimedia Commons has media related to H1 receptor antagonists .
There are four main types: H1, H2, H3, and H4. H1 receptors are linked to allergic responses, H2 to gastric acid regulation, H3 to neurotransmitter release modulation, and H4 to immune system function. There are four known histamine receptors: H 1 receptor H1 Receptors: These receptors are primarily located on smooth muscle cells, endothelial ...

The first H 1 receptor antagonists were discovered in the 1930s and were marketed in the 1940s. [22] Piperoxan was discovered in 1933 and was the first compound with antihistamine effects to be identified. [ 22 ]
The Food and Drug Administration's new rules on "healthy" food labels are voluntary and are scheduled to take effect at the end of February.
A recent study published in August 2024 suggested that H1 receptor can act as an alternative entry point for the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus to infect cells, in addition to the main receptor ACE2. HRH1 also synergistically enhanced hACE2-dependent viral entry by interacting with hACE2.
