Experimental studies on the effect of Aligeron on the cerebral circulation. 1980

V Vlahov, and R Nikolov, and M Nikolova

In acute experiments on cats under urethan anaesthesia and on dogs under chloralose-urethan narcosis the effect of the cinnarizine analogue Aligeron on local cortical cerebral blood flow (local CBF) and internal carotid blood flow was studied. The local CBF was recorded by means of a thermoclearance method using thermistor transducers. In addition the cortical pH and the arterial blood pressure were registered. For determination of internal carotid flow the flowmetric method was used accompanied by a simultaneous registering of heart rate and arterial blood pressure. Cinnarizine and papaverine were used as reference compounds. The results obtained show that Aligeron increases both the internal carotid flow (with 64% in a dose of 5 mg/kg) and the local CBF (with 30% in a dose of 1 mg/kg and 40% at 5 mg/kg). This effect is higher and longer-lasting than those of cinnarizine and papaverine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010208 Papaverine An alkaloid found in opium but not closely related to the other opium alkaloids in its structure or pharmacological actions. It is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant used in the treatment of impotence and as a vasodilator, especially for cerebral vasodilation. The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on calcium channels.

D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
