dantrolene and Muscle Disorders

dantrolene has been researched along with Muscle Disorders in 22 studies

Dantrolene: Skeletal muscle relaxant that acts by interfering with excitation-contraction coupling in the muscle fiber. It is used in spasticity and other neuromuscular abnormalities. Although the mechanism of action is probably not central, dantrolene is usually grouped with the central muscle relaxants.
dantrolene : The hydrazone resulting from the formal condensation of 5-(4-nitrophenyl)furfural with 1-aminohydantoin. A ryanodine receptor antagonist used for the relief of chronic severe spasticity and malignant hyperthermia.

"Two clinical myopathies are known to be associated with this membrane defect."2.36Etiology and pathophysiology of malignant hyperthermia. ( Denborough, MA, 1979)
"On dantrolene treatment, the patient became asymptomatic, and the ischemic test was performed without contracture."1.30Muscle phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency with tubular aggregates: effect of dantrolene. ( Clausen, T; Haller, RG; Schmalbruch, H; Vissing, J, 1999)
"Dantrolene has been recommended for use in horses at risk of developing postanesthetic myopathy."1.28Prophylactic use of dantrolene associated with prolonged postanesthetic recumbency in a horse. ( Boyd, CJ; Dyson, DH; Pascoe, PJ; Valverde, A, 1990)
"Malignant Hyperthermia is a specific potentially fatal condition which occurs in susceptible individuals in response to various triggering mechanisms, of which anesthetic agents have been found to be the most common offenders."1.27[Malignant neuroleptic syndrome and malignant hyperthermia--a comparison]. ( Hippius, H; Spiess-Kiefer, C, 1986)
"Dantrolene was only used in 32% of cases, and then at inadequate doses and very often too late; this probably explains the large number of treatment failures."1.27[Registration of peranesthetic cases of malignant hyperthermia in France. An update]. ( Jacquot, C; Kozak-Reiss, G; Krivosic-Horber, R; Laxenaire, MC; Lienhart, A; Nivoche, Y; Stieglitz, P, 1988)
