ABSTRACT
Surazepam ( Sur ) is a benzodiazepine derivative. Sur ( 0.2~0.27m-mol/L ) inhibited the contraction of isolated cervices uteri of rats and human beings induced by oxytocin and Ca2+ after high K+ concentration depolarization Sur ( 3.5~ 4 mg/kg ) iv could also inhibit the spontaneous contraction of uterus of rabbit in situ. The cumulative dose-response curves for Sur and CaCl2 exhibited non-competition.Both Sur and nifedipine markedly inhibited extracellular and intra-cellular Ca2+ dependent contraction induced by oxytocin.
ABSTRACT
Methoxyadiantifoline 10 mg/kg i.v. significantly increased the arrhythmia- inducing dose of aconitine in anaesthetized rats, and that of ouabain in anaesthetized guinea pigs. It markedly prevented ventr icular fibrillation induced by chloroform. Methoxyadiantifoline is also effective in preventing reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in anaesthetized rats. It was demonstrated that methoxyadiantifoline slowed heart rate significantly, and prolonged P-R and Q-Tc interval of ECG in rats.
