> Mirtazepine is the strongest anti-histamine on the world market. Its Ki binding value for the histamine H1 receptor is .12. Doxepin comes in second at .20, and remember that the lower the Ki value, the lower the drug plasma level needed for affecting a particular receptor. This means that lower = more potent.
I just checked the database at: http://kidb.cwru.edu/pdsp.php
Mirtazapine Ki is 0.50 nanomolar. Doxepin is 0.09 nanomolar. Surprised me to find that the lowest one is cyproheptadine, at 0.06.
Trimipramine is higher than mirtazapine, in this table.
