Laboratory of Molecular Endocrinology, Institute of Experimental Cardiology, Moscow, Russia.

The influence of the new calcium antagonist mibefradil (CAS 116666-63-8, Ro 405967) on calcium influx into rabbit smooth muscle cells (VSMC) was studied. Angiotensin II-stimulated divalent cations entry was blocked by mibefradil at micromolar concentrations (1-10 mumol/l). In the same range of concentrations, the antagonist depressed capacitative calcium influx evoked by thapsigargin- and 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ)-dependent depletion of internal depots. The ability to block the receptor-mediated pathway of calcium current into VSMC may explain in part the difference between the mode of pharmacological action of mibefradil as compared to other calcium antagonists.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
