Pitolisant Inhibits Alcohol Drinking and Improves Withdrawal Negative Affect Through Lateral Habenula Histaminergic Signaling in Mice. [PDF]
Pitolisant, an FDA‐approved H3R antagonist, counteracts the rewarding and sedative effects of ethanol, reduces alcohol intake, and alleviates the negative affect during withdrawal. This might occur via the antagonism of presynaptic autoreceptors and heteroreceptors H3Rs in the lateral habenula, thereby activating the H2R/p‐CREB/BDNF signaling and ...
