Abstract
The deorphanization of the histamine H4 receptor (H4R) has led to a significant number of scientific publications and patent applications. Whereas some histamine H1, H2 and H3 receptor ligands were found to have significant affinity for H4R, several agonists and antagonists with high affinity for H4R and selectivity over the other histamine receptors were successfully designed and synthesized. Moreover, site-directed mutation studies on H4R have been performed and reveal detailed information on receptor-ligand interactions. This review will focus on the most important H4R ligand scaffolds and their structure-activity relationships and selectivity over other histamine receptors and specific H4R functional activity. Experimental data are used to construct and validate high resolution three-dimensional receptor-ligand models and, vice versa, in silico models are used to design and rationalize experimental studies to probe receptor-ligand interactions.

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
