The effects of scoparone (Sco), tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), and papaverine (Pap) on hemodynamics were compared in anesthetized rabbits. Three dosage levels (1.25, 2.5, 5 mg.kg-1, iv) were used for each agent. Sco lowered the blood pressure (BP), increased the cerebral blood flow (CBF) dose-dependently, but did not show significant influence on the femoral artery blood flow (FBF), the maximal decrease of BP, and the maximal increases of CBF being 15% and 20% of the control, respectively. In contrast, TMP raised the BP as well as increased the CBF and FBF simultaneously. Pap, however, lowered the BP, slightly increased the CBF and decreased the FBF only at large doses. The results suggested that Sco may cause a selective dilatation of cerebral blood vessels.

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.
