histamine

Inflammatory substance normally released in damaged tissues, which also accounts for many of the symptoms of allergy. It is an amine, C5H9N3. Substances that neutralize its activity are known as antihistamines. Histamine was first described in 1911 by British physiologist Henry Dale (1875–1968).
