Nicardipine, a new calcium channel blocker: role for vascular selectivity.
Calcium channel blockers are important drugs for the treatment of chronic stable angina. However, negative inotropic and dromotropic effects may limit their usefulness in patients with atrioventricular conduction abnormalities or left ventricular dysfunction. A new generation of calcium channel blockers will soon be available that have a more vascular selective action than currently available a...
متن کاملThe role of calcium channel blockers in wound healing
Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors. Calcium channel blockers belong to cardiovascular medicine and administrated to treatment of hypertension, angina and cardiac arrhythmia because of vasodilatory...
متن کاملA simulation study of calcium release channel
The IP3R calcium release channel has been simulated using a stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA;Gillespie algorithm) and De young-Keiser model. A set of different concentration for Cat' and IP3 havebeen used. Considering the Number of molecules in each state, a non linear behavior of the system can beseen clearly. The inhibiting role of the Ca+2 on the open state (X110) has been studied. The d...
متن کاملRegulatory Role of Calcium Channel Blockers on Spontaneous Muscular Activity of Gastrothylax Crumenifer, A Rumen Amphistome
Major proportion of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) is achieved through opening of calcium channels present in the plasma membrane which play an important role in regulating neuromuscular coordination and release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Blockade of these calcium channels adversely affect contractile process and release of neurotransmitters in majority of the neuromuscular prep...
متن کاملCalcium Channel Permeation: A Field in Flux
In 1955, Alan Hodgkin and Richard Keynes published a study whose intent was to answer a rather technical question, but whose result triggered the modern analysis of ion channel permeation (Hodgkin and Keynes, 1955). They aimed to determine whether the K 1 fluxes in giant axons followed the “Ussing flux ratio criterion,” which was then considered to indicate whether flux through a membrane occur...
