Pitolisant is a nonimidazole histamine H3 receptor antagonist (Ki = 0.16 nM) and inverse agonist (EC50 = 1.5 nM).{47015} It increases the levels of tele-methylhistamine in mouse brain, indicating histaminergic neuron activity, with an ED50 value of 1.6 mg/kg. Pitolisant also increases dopamine and acetylcholine levels in the rat prefrontal cortex when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg. It decreases the time spent in slow wave sleep and increases the time spent awake in cats. Pitolisant (2.5 and 5 mg/kg), when administered post-training, facilitates contextual fear memory consolidation and reverses dizocilpine-induced amnesia in mice.{47016} When administered following reactivation, it reverses dizocilpine-induced reconsolidation deficits.
