“…Beaven & Shaff (1979), Mehler et al (1952), Schayer (1952) and Tachibana et al (1986) have observed that histamine N-methyl transferase is quantitatively more important than diamino oxidase in the metabolism of histamine in different animal tissues. Drugs inhibit to different extents the activity of histamine N-methyl transferase in animal tissues (Barth & Lorenz, 1978;Barth et al, 1975;Beaven, 1982;Beaven & Shaff, 1979;Cumming et al, 1990;Duch et al, 1978Duch et al, , 1980Duch et al, , 1984Futo et al, 1990;Harle & Baldo, 1988;Tachibana et al, 1988;Thithapandha & Cohn, 1978) and chloroquine is among the most potent inhibitors (Tachibana et al, 1988). Currently little is known about the inhibition of human histamine Nmethyl transferase by drugs.…”

“…Histamine is released into cerebrospinal fluid [43, 44} where it shows an approximately 30-fold higher concentration than in plasma. In addition, it is rapidly metabolized [30], but anaesthesia and especially muscle relaxants may interfere with that [22,34,57]. Histamine as a neurotransmitter has found its role in neuroendocrine reactions (stress reactions) [29,38,39,45] especially in endogenous non-opiate analgesia and is therefore centrally related to pain [38,100], conditions which occur during endoscopy as well as fundamentally in surgery.…”
