So far, only little is known about the internalization process of the histamine H-2 receptor (H2R). One promising approach to study such dynamic processes is the use of agonistic fluorescent ligands. Therefore, a series of carbamoylguanidine-type H2R agonists containing various fluorophores, heterocycles, and linkers (28-40) was synthesized. The ligands were pharmacologically characterized in several binding and functional assays. These studies revealed a significantly biased efficacy (Emax) for some of the compounds, e.g. 32: whereas 32 acted as strong partial (E-max: 0.77, mini-Gs recruitment) or full agonist (E-max: 1.04, [35S]GTP.S binding) with respect to G protein activation, it was only a weak partial agonist regarding beta-arrestin1/2 recruitment (E-max: 0.09-0.12) and failed to promote H2R internalization (confocal microscopy). On the other hand, H2R internalization was observed for compounds that exhibited moderate agonistic activity in the beta-arrestin1/2 pathways (E-max >= 22). The presented differently-biased fluorescent ligands are versatile molecular tools for future H2R studies on receptor trafficking and internalization e.g. using fluorescence microscopy.
