bepridil and Muscle Contraction

bepridil has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 23 studies

Bepridil: A long-acting calcium-blocking agent with significant anti-anginal activity. The drug produces significant coronary vasodilation and modest peripheral effects. It has antihypertensive and selective anti-arrhythmia activities and acts as a calmodulin antagonist.
bepridil : A tertiary amine in which the substituents on nitrogen are benzyl, phenyl and 3-(2-methylpropoxy)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propyl.

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

"Three kinds of contractions of rat thoracic aortic rings were used to compare suppression by CPU-86017, bepridil (Bep), verapamil (Ver), and nimodipine (Nim) in euthyroid- and Lev-induced hyperthyroidism rats."7.70p-Chlorobenzyltetrahydroberberine inhibits vascular smooth muscle contractions caused by Ca2+. ( Dai, DZ; Jiang, JM, 1998)
"Three kinds of contractions of rat thoracic aortic rings were used to compare suppression by CPU-86017, bepridil (Bep), verapamil (Ver), and nimodipine (Nim) in euthyroid- and Lev-induced hyperthyroidism rats."3.70p-Chlorobenzyltetrahydroberberine inhibits vascular smooth muscle contractions caused by Ca2+. ( Dai, DZ; Jiang, JM, 1998)
"Heart muscle contraction is regulated via the β-adrenergic response that leads to phosphorylation of Troponin I (TnI) at Ser22/23, which changes the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the cardiac myofilament."1.42Uncoupling of myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity from troponin I phosphorylation by mutations can be reversed by epigallocatechin-3-gallate. ( Marston, SB; Messer, AE; Papadaki, M; Vikhorev, PG, 2015)
" The influence of bepridil on the dose-response curves of mesenteric arterial strips for CaCl2, norepinephrine and serotonin differed from the influence seen with nifedipine, another Ca++ blocker."1.27Effects on calmodulin of bepridil, an antianginal agent. ( Hidaka, H; Ishikawa, T; Itoh, H, 1984)
"Nitrendipine was far more potent in inhibiting the K-induced contractions than bepridil while the drugs were equipotent in inhibiting NA-induced contractions."1.27Effects of two new Ca-entry blockers bepridil and nitrendipine on isolated vessels. ( Jespersen, LT; Mikkelsen, E; Pedersen, OL, 1984)
"The relaxant effects of five organic calcium antagonists (nicardipine, diltiazem, PY 108068, verapamil and bepridil) on guinea-pig isolated trachea were tested against contractions induced by acetylcholine, histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, potassium chloride (KCl) and tetraethylammonium (TEA) in a medium containing the normal amount of calcium and against calcium dose-response curves in a calcium-free, potassium-enriched medium."1.27Effects of five different organic calcium antagonists on guinea-pig isolated trachea. ( Advenier, C; Cerrina, J; Duroux, P; Floch, A; Renier, A, 1984)
"Bepridil was almost as potent as verapamil in this action."1.26Bepridil (CERM-1978) an verapamil depression of contractions of rabbit aortic rings. ( Mras, S; Sperelakis, N, 1981)
"Bepridil was approximately 10 fold less potent than verapamil."1.26Comparative effects of bepridil and verapamil on isolated coronary and systemic vascular and cardiac muscle. ( Campbell, JK; Marshall, RJ; Winslow, E, 1982)
