Differential inotropic actions of ethmozine and ethacizin (diethylamine analog of ethmozine). 1986

F Urthaler, and L V Rosenshtraukh, and A A Walker, and G R Hageman

The direct inotropic actions of ethmozine and of its diethylamine analog, ethacizin, were studied in the presence of muscarinic and beta-adrenoreceptor blockade in 12 ferret right ventricular papillary muscles. In each muscle ethmozine caused a small but consistent and significant (p less than 0.05) increase in contractile performance, whereas ethacizin significantly (p less than 0.05) diminished contractility. Although both phenothiazines are fast channel blockers, it appears that the net positive inotropic action of ethmozine is due to its stimulatory effect on the slow inward current and that the negative inotropic action of ethacizin is largely due to its recently demonstrated decreases of the slow inward current.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000889 Anti-Arrhythmia Agents Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
