The effect of verapamil, nifedipine and sensit on the whole rat blood deoxygenation was studied by polarographic coulometry with consequent calculation of deoxygenation rate (DR) and blood deoxygenation constant (BDC). These drugs were studied in concentrations 10(-8)-10(-4) M according to their therapeutic range in vivo. Both verapamil and nifedipine significantly decreased DR, and the latter drug decreased BDC as well in concentration 2.9.10(-7) M. In contrast to verapamil and nifedipine, sensit caused mild, but statistically significant dose-related increase in DR with concomitant decrease in BDC. The data presented failed to establish relationships between chemical structure and deoxygenative effect of the drugs. Deoxygenation effect of sensit favours its administration in the treatment of ischemia-related arrhythmias. 相似文献

Amorphous drugs are used to improve the solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of drugs. However, these metastable forms of drugs can transform into more stable, less soluble, crystalline counterparts. This study reports a method for evaluating the effect of commonly used excipients on the surface crystallization of amorphous drugs and its application to two model amorphous compounds, nifedipine and indomethacin. In this method, amorphous samples of the drugs were covered by excipients and stored in controlled environments. An inverted light microscope was used to measure in real time the rates of surface crystal nucleation and growth. For nifedipine, vacuum-dried microcrystalline cellulose and lactose monohydrate increased the nucleation rate of the β polymorph from two to five times when samples were stored in a desiccator, while d-mannitol and magnesium stearate increased the nucleation rate 50 times. At 50% relative humidity, the nucleation rates were further increased, suggesting that moisture played an important role in the crystallization caused by the excipients. The effect of excipients on the crystal growth rate was not significant, suggesting that contact with excipients influences the physical stability of amorphous nifedipine mainly through the effect on crystal nucleation. This effect seems to be drug specific because for two polymorphs of indomethacin, no significant change in the nucleation rate was observed under the excipients.KEY WORDS: amorphous, drugs, growth rate, nucleation rate, tablet excipients 相似文献

Effects of Ca2+-channel antagonists on nucleoside and nucleobase transport in human erythrocytes and cultured mammalian cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lidoflazine strongly inhibited the equilibrium exchange of uridine in human erythrocytes (Ki approximately 16 nM). Uridine zero-trans influx was similarly inhibited by lidoflazine in cultured HeLa cells (IC50 approximately to 80 nM), whereas P388 mouse leukemia and Novikoff rat hepatoma cells were three orders of magnitude more resistant (IC50 greater than 50 microM). Uridine transport was also inhibited by nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem, prenylamine and trifluoperazine, but only at similarly high concentrations in both human erythrocytes and the cell lines. IC50 values ranged from about 10 microM for nifedipine and about 20 microM for verapamil to more than 100 microM for diltiazem, prenylamine and trifluoperazine. The concentrations required for inhibition of nucleoside transport are several orders higher than those blocking Ca2+ channels. Lidoflazine competitively inhibited the binding of nitrobenzylthioinosine to high-affinity sites in human erythrocytes, but did not inhibit the dissociation of nitrobenzylthioinosine from these sites on the transporter as is observed with dipyridamole and dilazep. 相似文献

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) incubated in the presence of the calcium antagonists verapamil, nifedipine and flunarizine were more resistant than control LDL to human monocyte- or endothelial cell-induced modification, as assessed by electrophoretic mobility in agarose gel, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance content, and degradation by J774 macrophages. The efficiency of the drugs was: flunarizine > nifedipine > veraparml. Moreover, a 24 h preculture with calcium antagonists significantly impaired the ability of cells to modify LDL in the absence of the drugs. All the studied drugs also inhibited copper-induced autooxidation of LDL. None of the studied calcium antagonists, at concentrations up to 10-4 M, significantly reacted with free radicals as assessed by the l,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl test. It is suggested that such a protective effect of calcium antagonists against LDL peroxidation could play a role in the previously reported antiatherogenic effect of these drugs. 相似文献

Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin-induced hemolysis of horse erythrocytes is dependent on Ca2+ uptake 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin is able to lyse various erythrocytes. Exposure of horse erythrocytes to alpha-toxin simultaneously induced hot-cold hemolysis and stimulated production of diacylglycerol and phosphorylcholine. When A23187-treated erythrocytes were treated with the toxin, these events were dependent on the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ . Incubation with the toxin of BAPTA-AM-treated horse erythrocytes caused no hemolysis or production of phosphorylcholine, but that of the BAPTA-treated erythrocytes did. When Quin 2-AM-treated erythrocytes were incubated with the toxin in the presence of 45Ca2+, the cells accumulated 45Ca2+ in a dose- and a time-dependent manner. These results suggest that the toxin-induced hemolysis and hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine are closely related to the presence of Ca2+ in the cells. Flunarizine, a T-type Ca2+ channel blocker, and tetrandrine, an L- and T-type Ca2+ channel blocker, inhibited the toxin-induced hemolysis and Ca2+ uptake. However, L-type Ca2+ channel blockers, nifedipine, verpamil and diltiazem, an N-type blocker, omega-conotoxin SVIB, P-type blockers, omega-agatoxin TK and omega-agatoxin IVA, and a Q-type blocker, omega-conotoxin MVII C, had no such inhibitory effect. The observation suggests that Ca2+ taken up through T-type Ca2+ channels activated by the toxin plays an important role in hemolysis induced by the toxin. 相似文献

The dose-response effects of BAY K 8644 and nifedipine on diaphragmatic contractility were assessed in vitro. Isolated diaphragmatic fibers were obtained from rats and placed in an open-topped channel of a Plexiglas tissue chamber perfused with continuously flowing Krebs solution heated to 37 degrees C. Isometric twitch force, generated in response to 1-Hz supramaximal electrical stimulation (4 times/min), was measured with a highly sensitive photoelectric force transducer. Low doses of BAY K 8644 or nifedipine (10(-7) M) were without effect on twitch tension. For 10(-6) M, twitch tension increased by 10 +/- 1% (P less than 0.005) for both drugs. For 10(-5) M, twitch tension increased by 12 +/- 1% (P less than 0.05), and maximal contractures were observed (BAY K 8644 and nifedipine). Simultaneous drug administration did not reveal mutual antagonism as expected; instead the effects were additive, with twitch tension increasing by 30 +/- 2% (P less than 0.001) for 10(-5) M BAY K 8644 + nifedipine. Both BAY K 8644 and nifedipine altered twitch characteristics. In low-calcium media (0.5 mM) twitch potentiation produced by the two drugs was further enhanced (increasing 60% for 10(-5) M BAY K 8644 or nifedipine). Contractures, by contrast, were abolished. From these results it is difficult to reconcile a unique action of these drugs on calcium channels as is conventionally accepted. 相似文献

An effect of verapamil and nifedipine on the cellular histamine release and non-specific reactivity of the bronchi measured with methacholine test was studied. In vitro tests were carried out in basophils isolated from 19 asthmatic patients. Reactivity of the bronchi was investigated in 5 patients. Both verapamil and nifedipine significantly inhibited histamine release from the cells in vitro in all examined concentrations (10(-7)-10(-4) M) while a single dose of these drugs administered to the asthmatic patients did not exert a significant effect on the airway constriction in vivo. 相似文献

Nifedipine, verapamil and stobadine were tested and compared with butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as possible free radical scavengers inhibiting lipid peroxidation in phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Liposomes were peroxidized by incubation in air at 50 degrees C. Verapamil less than nifedipine less than BHT less than stobadine depressed the lipid peroxidation as detected spectroscopically for conjugate diene and thiobarbituric acid product formation. Verapamil and stobadine were tested as OH radical scavengers in a Fenton-type reaction against spin trap 5,5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO), as detected by ESR spectroscopy. The tested drugs competed with DMPO in trapping OH radicals, with stobadine being more effective than verapamil. ESR spectra of nifedipine in the incubated liposomes revealed that nifedipine could be involved in free radical reactions in the liposomes leading to nifedipine-stable radical(s) which were immobilized in the membrane. The obtained results suggest that some of the beneficial effects of the studied drugs can be mediated in disease by their ability to scavenge free radicals and by their protective effect on lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

The quantitative investigation of the binding process of calcium blocking drugs in a sinoatrial node
Application of existing models of sinoatrial node pacemaker activity and of channel-drug interaction allow us to reproduce action potential changes as a result of the blocking effect of drugs. Two calcium antagonistic drugs, nifedipine and mesudipine, were investigated and as a result averaged rate constants of binding and unbinding were evaluated. The procedure applied which is based on experimental results and on computer simulations, can be used as an initial step for comparison of different drugs. 相似文献

Acute hemodynamic effects of beraprost sodium were tested in a canine vasoconstrictive pulmonary hypertension model induced by the continuous infusion of U-46619, a thromboxane A(2)mimetic. The effects of beraprost were compared with those of prostaglandin E(1), nitroglycerin and nifedipine. Beraprost and nitroglycerin decreased pulmonary arterial pressure. On the other hand, prostaglandin E(1)and nifedipine increased pulmonary arterial pressure. All drugs except nitroglycerin increased cardiac output and decreased pulmonary vascular resistance. Beraprost was selective to pulmonary circulation, while nitroglycerin, prostaglandin E(1), and nifedipine showed poor selectivity for the pulmonary vasculature. These results suggest that the vasodilative effect of beraprost is the most selective for the pulmonary circulation among these four vasodilators. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of commonly used medications on the accumulation of ascorbic acid in human intestinal Caco-2 cells. Although ascorbic acid is negatively charged at physiological pH, anionic compounds including drugs and metabolites had little effect on its accumulation. On the other hand, hydrophobic 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds (nifedipine and nicardipine), but not other structurally unrelated calcium channel blockers, were found to be potent inhibitors. They inhibited both Na+-dependent and Na+-independent (K+ substituting Na+) accumulation of ascorbic acid. The inhibition was non-competitive with a Ki of 108 microM and 9 microM for nifedipine and nicardipine, respectively. The efflux of ascorbic acid from cells was not affected. Previously, we reported a similar inhibition of ascorbic acid accumulation by estrogens. When nifedipine and estrogens were included in the buffer together, the combined inhibitory effect was less than additive implying that they may act through the same mechanism. The potential clinical significance of dihydropyridine usage on ascorbic acid status in human needs to be considered. 相似文献

The objective of the study was to optimize the proportion of different components for formulating oil in water microemulsion formulation meant for simultaneous transdermal delivery of two poorly soluble antihypertensive drugs. Surface response methodology of Box-Behnken design was utilized to evaluate the effect of two oils (Captex 500 - x1 and Capmul MCM - x2) and surfactant (Acrysol EL135 - x3) on response y1 (particle size), y2 (solubility of valsartan), and y3 (solubility of nifedipine). The important factors which significantly affected the responses were identified and validated using ANOVA. The model was diagnosed using normal plot of residuals and Box-Cox plot. The design revealed an inverse correlation between particle size and concentration of Capmul MCM and Acrysol EL 135. However, an increase in concentration of Captex 500 led to an increase in particle size of microemulsion. Solubility of valsartan decreased while that of nifedipine increased with increase in concentration of Captex 500. Capmul MCM played a significant role in increasing the solubility of valsartan. The effect of Acrysol EL 135 on solubility of both drugs, although significant, was only marginal as compared to that of Captex 500 and Capmul MCM. The optimized microemulsion was able to provide an enhancement ratio of 27.21 and 63.57-fold for valsartan and nifedipine, respectively, with respect to drug dispersion in aqueous surfactant system when evaluated for permeation studies. The current studies candidly suggest the scope of microemulsion systems for solubilizing as well as promoting the transport of both drugs across rat skin at an enhanced permeation rate. 相似文献

The effects of two different calcium-channel blocking agents on platelet alpha-2 adrenoceptors were studied in 18 mild to moderate hypertensive patients. The subjects were randomly assigned in a double blind fashion to treatment with either nifedipine 10 mg t.i.d. or tiapamil 300 b.i.d. for six weeks. Platelet alpha-2 receptors were studied before and following 6 weeks of treatment using radioligand binding assay (3H Rauwolscine). Both agents induced a reduction in alpha-2 receptors, which reached statistical significance only for nifedipine. Such a reduction may contribute to the antihypertensive effect of calcium-channel blocking drugs. 相似文献

doi:10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00273.x Non‐surgical treatment of gingival overgrowth induced by nifedipine: a case report on an elderly patient Drug‐induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is a significant problem for periodontologists and this side effect is frequently associated with three particular drugs: phenytoin, cyclosporin A and nifedipine. A case report of gingival overgrowth induced by nifedipine in an elderly patient treated with non‐surgical periodontal therapy is described. A 75‐year‐old male with generalised gingival overgrowth reported the problem of oral malodour and significant gingival bleeding. The medical history revealed a controlled hypertensive state and Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) 3 years prior to consultation. The diagnosis was gingival overgrowth associated with nifedipine, no other risk factors being identified. The patient had been taking nifedipine for 18 months, but after the consultation with the patient’s doctor, nifedipine was suspended, as the hypertension was controlled. Treatment consisted of meticulous oral hygiene instruction, scaling, root surface instrumentation and prophylaxis. Six months after the first intervention, clinical parameters revealed a significant improvement with a considerable reduction in gingival overgrowth, demonstrating the effect of non‐surgical periodontal therapy in severe cases of gingival overgrowth. Non‐surgical treatment of DIGO is a far less invasive technique than surgical approaches and has demonstrated an impressively positive treatment response. It should therefore be considered as a first treatment option for DIGO. 相似文献

Using mouse macrophage cultures, the effects of verapamil and nifedipine on cholesterol ester metabolism were studied with special reference to the following parameters: i) incorporation of 14C-oleate into cholesterol esters (ChE), ii) contents of common and free cholesterol (FCh), iii) removal of 14C-oleate from ChE and incorporation of 3H-FCh into ChE and, iiii) excretion of 3H-Ch from the cells. Verapamil and nifedipine (10-100 microM) decreased the incorporation of 14C-oleate into ChE, increased the concentration of FCh but had no appreciable effect on the concentration of common Ch in macrophages cultured in the presence of acetylated low density lipoproteins. The drugs stimulated the removal of 14C-oleate from cellular ChE. The pharmacological concentrations (25-75 microM) of verapamil and nifedipine increased the excretion of 3H-Ch from ChE of macrophages in the presence of serum and high density lipoproteins. The results obtained suggest that verapamil and nifedipine mediate the antiatherosclerotic effect via reduction of intracellular synthesis of ChE, stimulation of ChE hydrolysis and cholesterol excretion from the cells. 相似文献

Protection against hypoxia-induced blood-brain barrier disruption: changes in intracellular calcium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Tissue damage after stroke is partly due to disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Little is known about the role of calcium in modulating BBB disruption. We investigated the effect of hypoxic and aglycemic stress on BBB function and intracellular calcium levels. Bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells were treated with A-23187 to increase intracellular calcium without hypoxia or treated with a calcium chelator (BAPTA) or calcium channel blockers (nifedipine or SKF-96365) and 6 h of hypoxia. A-23187 alone did not increase paracellular permeability. Hypoxia increased intracellular calcium, and hypoxia or hypoxia-aglycemia increased paracellular permeability. Treatment with nifedipine and SKF-96365 increased intracellular calcium under normoglycemic conditions, instead of blocking calcium influx, and was protective against hypoxia-induced BBB disruption under normoglycemia. Protection by nifedipine and SKF-96365 was not due to antioxidant properties of these compounds. These data indicate that increased intracellular calcium alone is not enough to disrupt the BBB. However, increased intracellular calcium after drug treatment and hypoxia suggests a potential mechanism for these drugs in BBB protection; nifedipine and SKF-96365 plus hypoxic stress may trigger calcium-mediated signaling cascades, altering BBB integrity. nifedipine; SKF-96365; ischemia; permeability; fura 2 相似文献

Five potential beta-adrenoceptor blocking (BAB) compounds, alkylesters of 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-alkylamino)propoxy] phenylcarbamic acid, and eight calcium channel blockers (CB), i.e. nifedipine, nimodipine, niludipine, nitrendipine, verapamil, gallopamil, mepamil and diltiazem, were compared as to their inhibitory effect on thrombin induced aggregation of washed rat platelets and their effect on dynamics/disorder of liposomal membranes prepared from platelet lipids, studied by EPR spectroscopy of a lipid spin probe. The anti-aggregatory potency of the BAB and CB drugs was effective within the concentration range of 0.01-1 mmol/l. The antiaggregatory potency of BAB increased in the order BL-143 < BL-243 < BL-343 < BL-443 < BL-543 and among the CB, nifedipine and diltiazem were least potent, whereas nitrendipine and mepamil were the most potent drugs. The potency of the other CB tested was intermediate. The BAB drugs increased the dynamics/disorder of the liposomes in the same order as they inhibited platelet aggregation, whereas there was no relationship between antiaggregatory effect of CB and their influence on dynamics/disorder of the liposomes. Nifedipine, nimodipine, niludipine and nitrendipine had a minor perturbation effect on the liposomes, whereas verapamil, mepamil, gallopamil and diltiazem pronouncedly increased the dynamics/disorder of the hydrophobic part of the liposomes. The results indicate that the anti-aggregatory activity of BAB drugs may be mediated, at least partially, through their perturbation effect on the lipid part of biological membranes. 相似文献

Nifedipine and verapamil block the memory-facilitating effect of corticotropin-releasing factor in rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of two calcium channel blockers, nifedipine and verapamil, and the peptide corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) as well as their interactive effects on memory retention were examined in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were chronically cannulated bilaterally and drugs were directly injected into the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Animals were trained in a one-way inhibitory avoidance task and memory was measured 24 h later. Results indicate that there was a U-shaped dose-response curve for the effects of nifedipine and verapamil with nifedipine at 8 micrograms and verapamil at 1 microgram both impaired memory formation, while CRF at 0.1 microgram enhanced this process. Nifedipine at 2 micrograms and verapamil at 0.5 microgram, which did not have significant effects on memory by themselves, antagonized the memory-enhancing effect of CRF in the hippocampus. These results suggest that under normal physiological conditions, calcium influx may play an important role in memory consolidation process in the vertebrate. 相似文献

Negative inotropic agents may differentially modulate indexes of cytosolic [Ca(2+)]-left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP) relationships when given before and after ischemia. We measured and calculated [Ca(2+)], LVP, velocity ratios [[(d[Ca(2+)]/dt(max))/(dLVP/dt(max)); VR(max)] and [(d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min))/(dLVP/dt(min)); VR(min)]], and area ratio (AR; area [Ca(2+)]/area LVP per beat) before and after global ischemia in guinea pig isolated hearts. Ca(2+) transients were recorded by indo 1-AM fluorescence via a fiberoptic probe placed at the LV free wall. [Ca(2+)]-LVP loops were acquired by plotting LVP as a function of [Ca(2+)] at multiple time points during the cardiac cycle. Hearts were perfused with bimakalim, 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM), nifedipine, or lidocaine before and after 30 min of ischemia. Before ischemia, each drug depressed LVP, but only nifedipine decreased both LVP and [Ca(2+)] with a downward and leftward shift of the [Ca(2+)]-LVP loop. After ischemia, each drug depressed LVP and [Ca(2+)] with a downward and leftward shift of the [Ca(2+)]-LVP loop. Each drug except BDM decreased d[Ca(2+)]/dt(max); nifedipine decreased d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min), whereas lidocaine increased it, and bimakalim and BDM had no effect on d[Ca(2+)]/dt(min). Each drug except bimakalim increased VR(max) and VR(min) before ischemia; after ischemia, only BDM and nifedipine increased VR(max) and VR(min). Before and after ischemia, BDM and nifedipine increased AR, whereas lidocaine and bimakalim had no effect. At 30 min of reperfusion, control hearts exhibited marked Ca(2+) overload and depressed LVP. In each drug-pretreated group Ca(2+) overload was reduced on reperfusion, but only the group pretreated with nifedipine exhibited both higher LVP and lower [Ca(2+)]. These results show that negative inotropic drugs are less capable of reducing [Ca(2+)] after ischemia so that there is a relatively larger Ca(2+) expenditure for contraction/relaxation after ischemia than before ischemia. Moreover, the differential effects of pretreatment with negative inotropic drugs on [Ca(2+)]-LVP relationships after ischemia suggest that these drugs, especially nifedipine, can elicit cardiac preconditioning. 相似文献

AimsRecurrent hypoxia due to sleep apnea syndrome is implicated in cardiovascular events, especially in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanisms remain controversial. We previously reported that angiotensin II receptor blockers can improve hypoxia-induced left ventricular remodeling. The aim of this study was to examine the effect on left ventricular remodeling of adding a calcium channel blocker to angiotensin II receptor blocker therapy in diabetic mice exposed to recurrent hypoxia.Main methodsMale db/db mice (8-week-old) and age-matched control db/+ mice were fed a Western diet and subjected to recurrent hypoxia (oxygen at 10 ± 0.5% for 8 h daily during the daytime) or normoxia for 3 weeks. Hypoxic db/db mice were treated with the vehicle, olmesartan (3 mg/kg/day), nifedipine (10 mg/kg/day), or both drugs.Key findingsRecurrent hypoxia caused hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes, interstitial fibrosis, and a significant increase in expression of the oxidative stress marker 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) in the left ventricular myocardium. Treatment with olmesartan, nifedipine, or both drugs had no effect on systolic blood pressure, and each treatment achieved similar suppression of 4-HNE expression. Olmesartan and the combination with olmesartan and nifedipine significantly prevented cardiomyocyte hypertrophy more than treatment with nifedipine alone. On the other hand, olmesartan combined with nifedipine significantly reduced cytokine expression, superoxide production and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity, and significantly suppressed interstitial fibrosis in the left ventricular myocardium.SignificanceThe combination with olmesartan and nifedipine, as well as a monotherapy with olmesartan, exerts preferable cardioprotection in diabetic mice exposed to recurrent hypoxia. 相似文献
