amrinone and Muscle Relaxation

amrinone has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 17 studies

Amrinone: A positive inotropic cardiotonic (CARDIOTONIC AGENTS) with vasodilator properties, phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitory activity, and the ability to stimulate calcium ion influx into the cardiac cell.
amrinone : A 3,4'-bipyridine substituted at positions 5 and 6 by an amino group and a keto function respectively. A pyridine phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor, it is a drug that may improve the prognosis in patients with congestive heart failure.

Muscle Relaxation: That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The purpose of this study was to examine and compare pulmonary vascular smooth muscle relaxation by clinically used agents as related to cGMP mediation (sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin) and cAMP mediation (isoproterenol, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), and amrinone) in isolated rat pulmonary arterial rings."3.69Pulmonary vascular smooth muscle relaxation by cGMP- versus cAMP-mediated mechanisms. ( Banerjee, A; Fullerton, DA; Hahn, AR; Harken, AH, 1994)
" We found a shift in the dose-response curve of only phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors."1.32The effect of chronic renal failure on phosphodiesterase inhibitor-induced relaxation responses in rabbit cavernosal strips. ( Bagcivan, I; Gokce, G; Kilicarslan, H; Sarac, B; Sarioglu, Y; Yildirim, S, 2003)
"Diltiazem was the most potent airway relaxant, and amrinone was less potent in these experiments."1.31Comparative effect of amrinone, aminophylline and diltiazem on rat airway smooth muscle. ( Kiyota, T; Matsuda, F; Sadohara, T; Sugahara, K; Sugita, M; Terasaki, H, 2000)
" Among them, 3,4-dipropyl-4,5,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-imidazo[1,2-i]-purin-5-one (1c), which was the most selective and potent PDE IV inhibitor, did not cause emesis in Suncus murinus at a dosage range of 10-100 mg/kg (po), while an imidazole analogue of 1c (4c) and known PDE IV inhibitors such as rolipram and denbufylline caused emesis even at 10 or 30 mg/kg."1.30Selective inhibitors of cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase: heterocycle-condensed purines. ( Kasugai, S; Miyamoto, K; Ohya, K; Sawanishi, H; Suzuki, H; Suzuki, N; Takagi, K; Waki, Y; Yamamoto, S, 1997)
"Milrinone was more potent as a vasorelaxant in coronary arteries relative to cerebral or renal arteries regardless of the mode of contraction; amrinone was coronary selective with K+ contraction only."1.28Differential vasorelaxant effects of milrinone and amrinone on contractile responses of canine coronary, cerebral, and renal arteries. ( Alousi, AA; Evans, DB; Grant, AM; Harris, AL; Silver, PJ, 1989)
"Treatment with amrinone potentiated the relaxant responses of mesenteric arteries to adenosine but did not alter the response to isoprenaline."1.27Responses of isolated dog arteries to amrinone. ( Miyazaki, M; Nakajima, M; Nishimura, K; Toda, N, 1984)
"When amrinone was examined for its inhibition of histamine contractions under modified Ca2+ availability, the EC25 and EC75 of amrinone were 76 and 8 times smaller, respectively, under conditions of intracellular rather than normal Ca2+ availability."1.26Relaxant effects of amrinone upon pulmonary smooth muscle. ( Buck, DC; Mielens, ZE, 1982)
