In common use, the term "antihistamine" refers only to H 1-antihistamines. Virtually all H 1-antihistamines function as inverse agonists at the histamine H 1-receptor, as opposed to neutral antagonists, as was previously believed. [1] [2] [3]
Itching, sneezing, and inflammatory responses are suppressed by antihistamines that act on H1-receptors. [2] [8] In 2014, antihistamines such as desloratadine were found to be effective to complement standardized treatment of acne due to their anti-inflammatory properties and their ability to suppress sebum production. [9] [10]
Histamine receptors are proteins that bind with histamine, a neurotransmitter involved in various physiological processes. There are four main types: H1, H2, H3, and H4. H1 receptors are linked to allergic responses, H2 to gastric acid regulation, H3 to neurotransmitter release modulation, and H4 to immune system function.

Cimetidine was the prototypical histamine H 2 receptor antagonist from which later drugs were developed. Cimetidine was the culmination of a project at Smith, Kline & French (SK&F; now GlaxoSmithKline) by James W. Black, C. Robin Ganellin, and others to develop a histamine receptor antagonist that would suppress stomach acid secretion.
Histamine is a ubiquitous messenger molecule released from mast cells, enterochromaffin-like cells, and neurons. [5] Its various actions are mediated by histamine receptors H 1, H 2, H 3 and H 4. The histamine receptor H 2 belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors.
