Abstract

Intracellular calcium regulation is vital for cells, especially for neurons; raised levels are associated with cytotoxicity and neuronal death. In this report, we present the first experimental evidence showing a concentration-dependent reduction of free calcium in the mouse brain synaptosomes by thioperamide (THP), an H 3 receptor antagonist. This is interesting in view of the recent reports on the anticonvulsant and cognition facilitating effects of THP. A neuroprotective potential of THP is suggested.
