Effects of chlorpromazine, haloperidol (neuroleptics and calmodulin antagonists), and verapamil on rat platelet aggregation induced by thrombin, on calcium current in snail neurones and on both tonic tension of high potassium contracture and phasic contraction of isolated guinea-pig ureter preparations were studied. Moreover, droperidol, sulpiride and prazosine effects were studied for models of phasic contractility and platelet aggregation. Sulpiride and prazosine were ineffective, verapamil was ineffective on platelet aggregation, while droperidol was the most potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. These results, the similarity revealed in the blockage of neuronal calcium current by neuroleptics and verapamil, and the potent inhibitory action of haloperidol and chlorpromazine on contractility and aggregation suggest that both phenothiazine and butyrophenone neuroleptics possess some properties of calcium antagonists and may also have intracellular sites of action other than calmodulin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007537 Isometric Contraction Muscular contractions characterized by increase in tension without change in length. Contraction, Isometric,Contractions, Isometric,Isometric Contractions
D008297 Male Males
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.
