1-Methyl-4-imidazoleacetic Acid (hydrochloride)

1-Methyl-4-imidazoleacetic acid (MIMA) is a stable metabolite of histamine that is produced by the oxidation of the primary metabolite, N-methylhistamine. Urinary levels of MIMA are commonly measured to evaluate histamine secretion, particularly in the context of systemic mastocytosis.Formal Name: 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-acetic acid, monohydrochloride.
