amlodipine and Muscle Contraction

amlodipine has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 16 studies

Amlodipine: A long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It is effective in the treatment of ANGINA PECTORIS and HYPERTENSION.
amlodipine : A fully substituted dialkyl 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate derivative, which is used for the treatment of hypertension, chronic stable angina and confirmed or suspected vasospastic angina.

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

( Burges, R; Moisey, D, 1994)
"Treatment with amlodipine was found to reduce myocardial oxygen demand, improve recovery of peak developed tension, have a favourable effect on Ca2+ fluxes, improve retention of tissue adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate, and reduce acidosis in the ischaemic/reperfused myocardium."2.38The pharmacological profile of amlodipine in relation to ischaemic heart disease. ( Burges, RA, 1991)
"Amlodipine orotate was prepared by reacting orotic acid and amlodipine to increase the dissolution rate at higher gastric pH conditions."1.33Effects of amlodipine orotate on hypertension-related complications in spontaneously hypertensive rats. ( Ahn, BO; Choi, SM; Kim, JE; Kwon, JW, 2006)

( Bagger, JP; Frøbert, O; Mikkelsen, EO; Tankó, LB, 1998)
"Amlodipine treatment (10 mg/kg/day orally) significantly reduced the increase in blood pressure (BP) in SHR, but did not change BP in WKY."1.29Selective interaction of the calcium antagonist amlodipine with calcium channels in arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats. ( Godfraind, T; Morel, N, 1994)
