Abstract

Histamine derivatives are disclosed which find use as effect and tissue-specific immune modulators. Specifically, the primary terminal nitrogen in histamine is derivatized to introduce a variable length side chain having 0 to 1 branch of from 1 to 3 carbons; 0 to 2 non-oxo-carbonyl groups; 0 to 4 heteroatoms, other than the non-oxo carbonyl oxygen; 0 to 1 aryl or alkyl-aryl group; and 0 to 1 functionally bound amino acid, polypeptide, or protein or derivative thereof.
