Burimamide is anantagonist at theH2 andH3histaminereceptors. At physiological pH, it is largely inactive as an H2 antagonist,[1] but its H3 affinity is 100x higher. It is athiourea derivative.
Burimamide was first developed by scientists at Smith, Kline & French (SK&F; nowGlaxoSmithKline) in their intent to develop a histamine antagonist for the treatment ofpeptic ulcers.[2] The discovery of burimamide ultimately led to the development ofcimetidine (Tagamet).[2]
