Niaprazine is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist with marked sedative properties. Niaprazine has antihistamine and antiserotonin activities and can be used for sleep disorder research[1][2].

Niaprazine exhibits a low affinity for the vesicular monoamine transporter and for D2, α2, β, H1 and mAch receptors. Niaprazine, particularly the (+)stereoisomer, has a higher affinity for α1 (Ki = 77 nM) and 5-HT2 (Ki = 25 nM) binding sites, but is poorly recognized by 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B binding sites[2].

Niaprazine (60 mg/kg; i.p.; once) treatment increases rat brain 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations 30 min after treatment, and reduced them at 3-8 hr after treatment. Niaprazine also produces a short-lasting depletion of rat brain noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA)[3]. Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (150-200 g)[3]
