Abstract
In the rabbit ear artery, nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem and bepridil were found to be more potent in inhibiting the tonic than the phasic response to norepinephrine, while KB-944 and W-7 blocked these two responses equally. Since in the ear artery norepinephrine utilizes intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ for its phasic and tonic responses, respectively, the non-selective inhibitory effect of KB-944 suggests that Ca2+ entry blockade may not account solely for its vasodilator effect.Entities:
