Use of the calcium agonist BAY K 8644 for in vitro diagnosis of susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia.

چکیده
We have studied the effects of the calcium agonist BAY K 8644 on the in vitro halothane test in 10 malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS), 12 MH "equivocal" to halothane (MHEh), 30 MH non-susceptible (MHN) and 10 control patients. BAY K 8644 potentiated the halothane-induced contracture in muscle strips from both MHS and MHEh patients. The drug produced a more obvious difference in contracture responses between the MHEh group compared with the MHN and control groups.

Effects of Bay k 8644, a dihydropyridine analog, on [3H]nitrendipine binding to canine cardiac sarcolemma and the relationship to a positive inotropic effect.
Equilibrium dissociation constants of Bay k 8644, a calcium agonist, and nitrendipine, a calcium antagonist, were determined in canine cardiac sarcolemma. The equilibrium dissociation constant for Bay k 8644 was compared to the concentration that produced a fifty percent increase, and the equilibrium dissociation constant for nitrendipine was compared to the concentration that produced a fifty ...
متن کاملA multicenter study of 4-chloro-m-cresol for diagnosing malignant hyperthermia susceptibility.
UNLABELLED Standardization of the in vitro contracture test (IVCT) for malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility has resulted in very rare false negative tests. However, false positive results stigmatizing the patient seem to be more frequent than false negative results and make supplementary tests desirable. This multicenter approach studied the usefulness of an IVCT with 4-chloro-m-cresol (4...

متن کاملCalcium channel activation in arterioles from genetically hypertensive rats.
Enhanced contractile responsiveness to the calcium channel agonist Bay K 8644 has been documented in large conduit arteries and small muscular arteries from hypertensive rats. The present study examined the effects of Bay K 8644 on the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in microvessels from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats. Using microsp...

The effects of two dihydropyridine derivatives, the calcium channel agonist BAY k 8644 or the antagonist PN 200-110, on the central nervous components of the baroreceptor reflex control of heart rate during activation of baroreceptors by phenylephrine (2 micrograms i.v.) were studied in pentobarbital-anesthetized normotensive (Wistar) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). To rule out ...
