Neuroleptic drugs attenuate calcium influx and tension development in rabbit thoracic aorta: effects of pimozide, penfluridol, chlorpromazine, and haloperidol.

چکیده
This study was designed to determine whether neuroleptic drugs have calcium channel blocking activity in isolated rings of rabbit thoracic aorta. The results confirm previous findings that pimozide and penfluridol are calcium channel blockers. However, the data do not support the conclusion that these agents are selective for the voltage-sensitive calcium channel. The results also show that both haloperidol and chlorpromazine (which represent different classes of neuroleptic drugs) are also calcium channel blockers in vascular smooth muscle.

Inhibition of cytokinin-regulated responses by calmodulin-binding compounds.
Two classes of compounds which bind to calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner (neuroleptic drugs and local anaesthetics) were used to investigate the possible involvement of a calcium-dependent regulator protein in the action of the plant hormones cytokinins.The cytokinin-induced synthesis of betacyanin in Amaranthus tricolor seedlings was used as one test system. The calmodulin antagonists i...
متن کاملInverse agonist activity of atypical antipsychotic drugs at human 5-hydroxytryptamine2C receptors.
Clozapine is the prototype atypical antipsychotic drug, producing little or no extrapyramidal side effects, while improving negative symptoms of psychosis. Clozapine's high affinity for serotonin receptors has been hypothesized to confer the unique antipsychotic properties of this drug. Recently, we demonstrated that both typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs are inverse agonists at constitu...

متن کاملDifferential inhibition of T-type calcium channels by neuroleptics.
T-type calcium channels play critical roles in cellular excitability and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of neurological disorders including epilepsy. Although there have been reports that certain neuroleptics that primarily target D2 dopamine receptors and are used to treat psychoses may also interact with T-type Ca channels, there has been no systematic examination of th...
