Functional interactions between organic calcium channel antagonists in smooth muscle. 1985

F Yousif, and D J Triggle

The Ca2+ channel antagonists D-600, diltiazem, and nifedipine are competitive antagonists of Ca2+ responses in K+-depolarized guinea pig taenia coli and rat mesenteric artery preparations. pA2 values for D-600, diltiazem, and nifedipine in taenia coli were 8.28, 7.44, and 9.27, respectively and in mesenteric artery, 9.6, 7.83, and 10.4, respectively. The combination of nifedipine plus diltiazem gave in both tissues antagonism greater than that calculated on the basis of additivity. This suggests, consistent with published 3H-labelled radioligand binding data, that diltiazem and nifedipine interact at distinct sites. However, the combination nifedipine plus D-600 yielded antagonism consistent with additivity of response.

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.
