Therapeutic trials in hamster dystrophy. 1979

G Jasmin, and B Solymoss, and L Proschek

Verapamil and prenylamine, which antagonize calcium influx into heart muscle cells, Dibenamine and propanolol, alpha and beta adrenergic bockers, respectively, and prostaglandin E1, which acts on permeability of cell membranes and on adrenergic neurotransmission, were all shown to markedly reduce the severity of heart lesions in UM-X7.1 cardiomyopathic hamsters. The beneficial effects of these compounds seen essentially preventive, in that they do not afford protection for fully developed skeletal muscle lesions. The occurrence of the pathologic changes in the myocardium coincides with an increased adrenergic nerve activity, and it is believed that these drugs function mainly by decreasing calcium conductivity across the sarcolemmal membranes of cardiocytes.

D011299 Prenylamine A drug formerly used in the treatment of angina pectoris but superseded by less hazardous drugs. Prenylamine depletes myocardial catecholamine stores and has some calcium channel blocking activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1406) Corontin,Difril,Segontin
D011433 Propranolol A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.

D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
