azelastine and Muscle Contraction

azelastine has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 18 studies

azelastine: azeptin is azelastine hydrochloride; structure; eye drop formulation effective in relieving symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis; do not confuse with 5-loxin which is an extract of Boswellia
azelastine : A phthalazine compound having an oxo substituent at the 1-position, a 1-methylazepan-4-yl group at the 2-position and a 4-chlorobenzyl substituent at the 4-position.

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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We examined the effectiveness of azelastine on isolated rat tracheal smooth muscle by testing: 1) the effect on tracheal smooth muscle resting tension; 2) the effect on contraction caused by 10(-6) M methacholine as a parasympathetic mimetic; and 3) the effect on electrically induced tracheal smooth muscle contractions."3.76Azelastine nasal spray inhibiting parasympathetic function of tracheal smooth muscle. ( Chou, YL; Chu, YH; Wang, HW, 2010)
"Azelastine is a newly developed antiallergic drug that is reported to antagonize histamine and leukotrienes in addition to its inhibitory action on release of chemical mediators."1.28Effects of azelastine on vagal neuroeffector transmission in canine and human airway smooth muscle. ( Aizawa, H; Ikeda, T; Inoue, H; Ito, Y; Miyazaki, N; Shigematsu, N, 1990)
"Azelastine is a phthalazinone derivative with a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities."1.27Inhibition of cysteinyl-leukotriene production by azelastine and its biological significance. ( Achterrath-Tuckermann, U; Luck, W; Peskar, BA; Simmet, T; Szelenyi, I, 1988)
" In the isolated guinea pig ileum, the dose-response curve for histamine was shifted to the right by 10(-8) mol/l of diphenhydramine, clemastine or azelastine to the same degree."1.26Effects of azelastine hydrochloride, a new antiallergic drug, on the gastrointestinal tract. ( Igarashi, T; Murakami, M; Shoji, T; Yamanaka, T, 1981)
