Inhibitory effect of dichlorvos on arterial smooth muscle contraction. 1986

A B Ebeigbe, and P I Campbell

The effect of the organophosphate pesticide, dichlorvos, on the contractile responses of isolated rat tail arteries has been studied. Dichlorvos (10(-8)-10(-4) M) had no effect on baseline tension, but relaxed 10(-7) M norepinephrine (NE), 10(-7) M 5-HT or 100 mM KCl contractions dose-dependently. Dichlorvos also inhibited CaCl2 dose-response curves in K+-depolarized strips, as well as depressing both phasic and tonic components of NE-induced contractions. The results suggest a direct relaxant effect of dichlorvos on arterial smooth muscle by a mechanism probably related to interference with Ca2+ supply.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
