Effects of pinaverium bromide and verapamil on the motility of the rat isolated colon

Effects of pinaverium bromide and verapamil on the motility of the rat isolated colon

A Baumgartner et al. Br J Pharmacol. 1985 Sep.

Abstract

Pinaverium bromide was 30 times less potent than verapamil in inhibiting intraluminal pressure responses of in vitro rat colonic segments to barium chloride, acetylcholine, FK 33-824 or field stimulation. The inhibitory effects of both verapamil and pinaverium bromide on the pressure responses to field stimulation were antagonized similarly by exogenous calcium administration. These results support the concept that pinaverium bromide acts on calcium channels in the smooth muscle cell membrane.
