The molecule is an imidothiocarbamic ester that consists of isothiourea bearing S-3-(imidazol-4-yl)propyl and N-4-chlorobenzyl substituents. An extremely potent histamine H3 antagonist/inverse agonist (pA2 = 9.93). Also displays partial agonist activity at H4 receptors; induces eosinophil shape change with an EC50 of 3 nM. It has a role as a H3-receptor antagonist and a H4-receptor agonist. It is a member of imidazoles, an imidothiocarbamic ester and an organochlorine compound. It is a conjugate base of a clobenpropit(2+).
