1. Pharmacological properties of a new centrally acting muscle relaxant (NC-1200) were tested in isolated muscle preparations. 2. NC-1200 acted as a Ca-blocker in the guinea pig taenia caecum. The pA2-value was 5.67. 3. In the rabbit aorta, NC-1200 competed with serotonin at serotonin receptors and also shifted the concentration response curves of histamine and norepinephrine suggesting the possibility that NC-1200 interacted with histamine and norepinephrine receptors. The pA2-value of NC-1200 against serotonin was 6.02. 4. There was no evidence that NC-1200 interacted with drug-receptors in the muscles except the rabbit aorta. 5. The present results are similar to the previous findings that the properties of serotonin, histamine and norepinephrine receptors in the rabbit aorta were different from those in other muscles.

D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.

D009125 Muscle Relaxants, Central A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents. They have their primary clinical and therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.

D009126 Muscle Relaxation That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position. Muscle Relaxations,Relaxation, Muscle,Relaxations, Muscle
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.
