Multiple Targeting Approaches on Histamine H3 Receptor Antagonists

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
With the very recent market approval of pitolisant (Wakix®), the interest in clinical applications of novel multifunctional histamine H3 receptor antagonists has clearly increased. Since histamine H3 receptor antagonists in clinical development have been

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Sleep Reactivity Amplifies the Impact of Pre‐Sleep Cognitive Arousal on Sleep Disturbances

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
This study investigates how sleep reactivity moderates the ‘stress‐pre‐sleep arousal‐sleep’ pathway in university students. At the within‐individual level, both high and low sleep‐reactive groups showed increased pre‐sleep cognitive arousal and sleep disruptions in response to elevated daily stress.

Sex differences in neuromodulatory subcortical systems and their implications for Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSSs) are uniquely susceptible to dementia‐related pathology, leading to frequent molecular and behavioral impairments associated with altered function of these nuclei. Some of these systems display clear sex‐specific cytoarchitecture and signaling leading to distinct physiology and behavioral outputs in ...

Activity‐restoring mutations in the histamine H3 receptor increase constitutive activity and reduce structural stability

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The histamine H3 receptor (H3R) is a class A G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) that regulates neurotransmitter release in the central nervous system. Although structures of H3R in both inactive and active states have been elucidated, the functional roles of specific residues remain unclear.

Pitolisant-supported bridging during drug holidays to deal with tolerance to modafinil in patients with narcolepsy.

open access: yesSleep Medicine, 2023
STUDY OBJECTIVES Modafinil is a common treatment for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in narcolepsy. The long-term use of modafinil can lead to tolerance with the loss of efficacy and the continuous increase of its dose.
