Application

Histamine dihydrochloride has been used:
  • as a orthograde cotransmitter in producing excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP)[1]
  • to determine its level in fish using HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)[2]
  • to assess the tracheal response to antigens in guinea-pigs[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Endogenous H1 and H2 histamine receptor agonist; activates nitric oxide synthetase; potent vasodilator.

General description

Histamine dihydrochloride is a derivative of histamine.[4] It prevents the formation of ROS (reactive oxygen species), which inhibits the activation of T cells and natural killer cells.[5] Histamine dihydrochloride is implicated in tumor cell apoptosis.[4] It prevents the relapse of acute myeloid leukemia in patients.[6]

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  
  1. Is Histamine dihydrochloride H7250 traceable to SI units?

    1 answer
    1. This product is sold by weight. It is a powder that is at least 99% pure. There is no unit value associated with this material. The 'SI' term tends to refer to serum levels as nmol/L.

  2. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    1 answer
    1. The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
