A study of the effect of 8-aminoquinolines (primaquine, pamaquine, pentaquine) on the guinea-pig isolated ileum

Abstract
Primaquine (10(-6) to 4.10(-5) M), an antimalarial drug, has stimulatory effects on the guinea-pig ileum which seem to be related to stimulation of histaminergic H1-receptors. Preincubation of the preparations with compound 48/80 greatly inhibits the primaquine induced contractions, indicating that they should result from histamine release. On the other hand, primaquine (from 10(-6) M) like 2 other 8-aminoquinolines, pamaquine and pentaquine, has inhibitory properties on the intramural cholinergic neurones of the ileum, and at higher concentrations (10(-5) M) exerts a direct inhibition on the smooth muscle.
