Abstract:
The effects of tetrandrine and neferine on the phenylephrine-induced contractions were studied in Sprague-Dawley rat aortic rings. It was found that both tetrandrine and neferine ( 2?10-5 mol/L ) markedly inhibited phase I ( release of intracellular calcium) and phase II (entry of extracellular calcium) contractions after a 20 min incubation. After a shorter incubation period, tetrandrine and nefrine inhibited only the phase II contractions. Compared with tetrandrine, neferine exhibited slower and weaker effects
