fasudil and Muscle Relaxation

fasudil has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 6 studies

fasudil: intracellular calcium antagonist; structure in first source
fasudil : An isoquinoline substituted by a (1,4-diazepan-1-yl)sulfonyl group at position 5. It is a Rho-kinase inhibitor and its hydrochloride hydrate form is approved for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm and cerebral ischemia.

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

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The Rho/Rho-kinase pathway might play an important role in the pathogenesis of LPS-induced endotoxemia, and fasudil could attenuate LPS-induced microvascular permeability, leading to inhibition of endotoxemia."7.78Fasudil, a Rho-kinase inhibitor, attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced vascular hyperpermeability and colonic muscle relaxation in guinea pigs. ( Kubota, M; Kuno, M; Nemoto, K; Ninomiya, N; Suzuki, K; Yokota, H, 2012)
"Airway smooth muscle contraction is not caused by the increase in intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) alone because agonist stimulation increases tension at the same [Ca(2+)](i) (increase in Ca(2+) sensitivity)."5.35Rho-kinase inhibitors augment the inhibitory effect of propofol on rat bronchial smooth muscle contraction. ( Chiba, Y; Hanazaki, M; Kohjitani, A; Misawa, M; Morita, K; Sakai, H; Yokoyama, M, 2008)
