Cipralisant

Cipralisant (GT-2331, tentative trade name Perceptin) is an extremely potent Histamine H₃ receptor ligand originally developed by Gliatech. Cipralisant seemed to be well tolerated during early testing and it entered Phase II for ADHD in 2000. The relatively recent cloning of human H₃ receptor, as well as the discovery of its constitutive activity provided the ability to better assess the activity of H₃ receptor ligands. Unfortunately, cipralisant was reassessed as an H₃ receptor agonist in human and rat recombinant systems.

Gliatech filed for bankruptcy in 2002, and its intellectual property inherited by Merck. The development of cipralisant seems to have been suspended since 2003.
