bay-k-8644 and Pregnancy

bay-k-8644 has been researched along with Pregnancy in 36 studies

3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-5-nitro-4-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-, Methyl ester: A dihydropyridine derivative, which, in contrast to NIFEDIPINE, functions as a calcium channel agonist. The compound facilitates Ca2+ influx through partially activated voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, thereby causing vasoconstrictor and positive inotropic effects. It is used primarily as a research tool.
Bay-K-8644 : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-Bay-K-8644
methyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-nitro-4-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate : A pentasubstituted dihydropyridine carrying methoxycarbonyl, 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl and nitro substituents at positions 3, 4 and 5 respectively as well as two methyl substituents at positions 2 and 6.

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The hypothesis that Ca2+ channel function is altered during pregnancy was tested by comparing responses to potassium chloride (KCl) and phenylephrine in aortic rings of virgin and term-pregnant rats under the influence of nifedipine and Bay K 8644."3.69Effects of nifedipine and Bay K 8644 on myotropic responses in aortic rings of pregnant rats. ( Brochu, M; Roy, B; Sicotte, B; St-Louis, J, 1995)
"Fetal membranes from women in preterm labor had the least amount of measured endogenous calcium channel inhibitor activity."1.31Abnormality of calcium channel inhibitor released from fetal membranes in preterm labor. ( Carroll, EM; Collins, PL; Gianopoulos, JG, 2001)
"Nifedipine and CGP 28392 treatment of nonpregnant and pregnant animals, respectively, did not modify the response of aortic rings to KCl."1.31Calcium channels contribute to the decrease in blood pressure of pregnant rats. ( Brochu, M; Cadorette, C; Poterek, M; Simaan, M; St-Louis, J, 2002)
" BAY K 8644 produced a larger increase in sensitivity in adrenal capsule preparations from pregnant than from nonpregnant rats, leading to superposition of the two dose-response curves to K+."1.30Effects of dihydropyridines on aldosterone secretion in adrenal capsule preparations from pregnant rats. ( Brochu, M; Jodoin, S; Picard, S; St-Louis, J, 1997)
"When uterine muscle was exposed to full-thickness fetal membranes (amnion-chorion with attached decidua) or to the intact fetal components (chorion-amnion) or to chorion alone, the Bay K 8644 dose-response curve was significantly shifted to the right."1.29Human fetal membranes inhibit calcium L-channel activated uterine contractions. ( Collins, PL; Idriss, E; Kulp, TM; Moore, JJ, 1996)
