papaverine and Clerambault Syndrome

papaverine has been researched along with Clerambault Syndrome in 5 studies

Papaverine: An alkaloid found in opium but not closely related to the other opium alkaloids in its structure or pharmacological actions. It is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant used in the treatment of impotence and as a vasodilator, especially for cerebral vasodilation. The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on calcium channels.
papaverine : A benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that is isoquinoline substituted by methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 and a 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl group at position 1. It has been isolated from Papaver somniferum.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"As far as the head pain was concerned, the feeling of giddiness, congestion in the head, rapid exhaustion, above all, tinnitus, responded best to the medication (the improvement amounting to approximately 40%), whereas of the mental complaints, a feeling of being "lost" or "abandoned" and a morose mood were most amenable to improvement (degree of improvement approximately 30%)."1.26[Eutergin in the treatment of chronic cerebrovascular disturbance patterns (author's transl)].
