amobarbital and Muscle Contraction

amobarbital has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 19 studies

Amobarbital: A barbiturate with hypnotic and sedative properties (but not antianxiety). Adverse effects are mainly a consequence of dose-related CNS depression and the risk of dependence with continued use is high. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p565)
amobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates that is pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione substituted by a 3-methylbutyl and an ethyl group at position 5. Amobarbital has been shown to exhibit sedative and hypnotic properties.

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.

"In this investigation, we compared iLTS scar-derived fibroblasts in patients with and without T2DM."1.62Characterization of Fibroblasts in Iatrogenic Laryngotracheal Stenosis and Type II Diabetes Mellitus. ( Davis, R; Ding, D; Hillel, AT; Lina, I; Motz, KM; Tsai, HW, 2021)
"Using isolated rat aortic strips (AS) and portal veins (PV), it was found that all of the barbiturates studied (thiopental, secobarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital, phenobarbital, and barbital): a) inhibit development of spontaneous mechanical activity (vasomotion) in AS and PV in concentrations used to induce surgical anesthesia or concentrations used for anticonvulsive therapy; b) dose-dependent attenuate contractions induced by epinephrine and potassium (K+); c) cause non-competitive displacement of the dose-response curves of these vasoactive compounds; d) attenuate calcium (Ca++)-induced contractions of K+-depolarized AS and PV; e) rapidly relax drug-induced, as well as Ca++-induced, contractions of AS and PV."1.25Barbiturates and aortic and venous smooth-muscle function.
