text: HNMT could be a potential target for the treatment of symptoms of methamphetamine overdose. It is a central nervous system stimulant, which can be abused up to the lethal consequences: numerous deaths related to methamphetamine overdoses have been reported. The reasoning behind this is that such overdose often leads to behavioral abnormalities, and it has been observed that elevated levels of histamine in the brain can attenuate these methamphetamine-induced behaviors. Therefore, by targeting HNMT, it might be possible to increase the levels of histamine in the brain, which could, in turn, help to mitigate the effects of a methamphetamine overdose. This effect could be achieved by using HNMT inhibitors. Studies predict that one such inhibitor can be metoprine, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and can potentially increase brain histamine levels by inhibiting HNMT; still,  treatment of methamphetamine overdose by HNMT inhibitors is still an area of research.
