Neuroimaging of histamine H(1)-receptor occupancy in human brain by positron emission tomography (PET): A comparative study of ebastine, a second-generation antihistamine, and (+)-chlorpheniramine, a classical antihistamine

AIMS: Sedation induced by antihistamines is widely recognized to be caused by their penetration through the blood–brain-barrier and the consequent occupation of brain histamine H(1)-receptors. We previously studied the mechanism of sedation caused by antihistamines using positron emission tomography...
