guaiacol and Muscle Contraction

guaiacol has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 10 studies

Guaiacol: An agent thought to have disinfectant properties and used as an expectorant. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p747)
methylcatechol : Any member of the class of catechols carrying one or more methyl substituents.
guaiacol : A monomethoxybenzene that consists of phenol with a methoxy substituent at the ortho 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
"Zingerone, a pungent component of ginger, may exert beneficial therapeutic effects on hypermotility-induced diarrhea because it has the ability to inhibit contractions of colonic smooth muscles."3.77Intraluminal administration of zingerol, a non-pungent analogue of zingerone, inhibits colonic motility in rats. ( Hirayama, H; Iwami, M; Shiina, T; Shimizu, Y, 2011)
"Zingerone is a likely active constituent responsible for the antidiarrheal activity of ginger."1.37Inhibitory effects of zingerone, a pungent component of Zingiber officinale Roscoe, on colonic motility in rats. ( Hirayama, H; Iwami, M; Shiina, T; Shima, T; Shimizu, Y; Takewaki, T, 2011)
"3."1.29Pharmacological characterization of cinnamophilin, a novel dual inhibitor of thromboxane synthase and thromboxane A2 receptor. ( Teng, CM; Wu, TS; Yu, SM, 1994)
