quinacrine and Muscle Relaxation

quinacrine has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 16 studies

Quinacrine: An acridine derivative formerly widely used as an antimalarial but superseded by chloroquine in recent years. It has also been used as an anthelmintic and in the treatment of giardiasis and malignant effusions. It is used in cell biological experiments as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2.
quinacrine : A member of the class of acridines that is acridine substituted by a chloro group at position 6, a methoxy group at position 2 and a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]nitrilo group at position 9.

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

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Eicosatetraynoic acid (50 microM), nordihydroguairetic acid (50 microM) and QUIN (10 microM) do not exert significant inhibitory effects at the level of smooth muscle relaxation mechanisms as isoproterenol-induced relaxation was resistant to inhibition by these agents."3.66Endothelium-dependent relaxation of rabbit aorta. II. Inhibition of relaxation stimulated by methacholine and A23187 with antagonists of arachidonic acid metabolism. ( Peach, MJ; Singer, HA, 1983)
