چکیده
Intravenous injections of chloroquine terminated experimental atrial fibrillation in open chest dog preparations. Chloroquine and quinidine possess equal vasodilating properties when injected intra-arterially in the same dosage. Chloroquine and quinidine were equally effective in decreasing resting excitability of isolated cat papillary muscle; conduction velocity was markedly slowed by quinidine, but only slightly decreased by chloroquine.

متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of chloroquine inhibition of heterologously expressed Kir6.2/SUR2A channels.
Chloroquine and related compounds can inhibit inwardly rectifying potassium channels by multiple potential mechanisms, including pore block and allosteric effects on channel gating. Motivated by reports that chloroquine inhibition of cardiac ATP-sensitive inward rectifier K(+) current (I(KATP)) is antifibrillatory in rabbit ventricle, we investigated the mechanism of chloroquine inhibition of A...
متن کاملSelective COX-2 Inhibitors: A Review of Their Structure-Activity Relationships
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme which mediates the bioconversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins (PGs). Their use is associated with the side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. The therapeutic anti-inflammatory action of NSAIDs is produced by the inhibition of COX-2, while the ...
