phenobarbital and Muscle Contraction

phenobarbital has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 19 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

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
"Pretreatment with phenobarbital reduced, whereas previous application of tri-O-cresyl phosphate (TOCP) enhanced, effectiveness of soman administered i."1.27Phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation in situ for studying the detoxification of soman in the rat liver. ( Bosković, B; Cetković, S, 1988)
"Using isolated rat aortic strips (AS) and portal veins (PV), it was found that all of the barbiturates studied (thiopental, secobarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital, phenobarbital, and barbital): a) inhibit development of spontaneous mechanical activity (vasomotion) in AS and PV in concentrations used to induce surgical anesthesia or concentrations used for anticonvulsive therapy; b) dose-dependent attenuate contractions induced by epinephrine and potassium (K+); c) cause non-competitive displacement of the dose-response curves of these vasoactive compounds; d) attenuate calcium (Ca++)-induced contractions of K+-depolarized AS and PV; e) rapidly relax drug-induced, as well as Ca++-induced, contractions of AS and PV."1.25Barbiturates and aortic and venous smooth-muscle function.
