Toreforant (JNJ-38518168) is an orally-dosed selective antagonist of the histamine H₄ receptor that has been studied for various health conditions. It is the successor of a number of H₄-selective compounds developed by Johnson & Johnson.^[1] Phase IIa clinical trials completed as recently as November 2018 continue to suggest that toreforant is safe.^[2]

Quick Facts Names, Identifiers ...

As of the end of 2020, there is no regulator-approved H₄ antagonist. In U.S. Phase II clinical trials, toreforant, by itself, did not show efficacy against eosinophilic asthma.^[2] The drug did show at least partial efficacy against rheumatoid arthritis in patients who were nonresponsive to methotrexate.^[3] As the H₄ receptor is widely implicated in the regulation of inflammatory states, the potential uses for an H₄ antagonist remain significant.^[4]^[5]^[6]
