title: Effects of 2-nicotinamidoethyl nitrate (SG-75) on dog coronary artery and cat papillary muscle.
abstract: Effects of 2-nicotinamidoethyl nitrate (SG-75) on isolated dog coronary artery and cat papillary muscle were investigated. SG-75 dose-dependently relaxed the isolated coronary arterial strips contracted with potassium. Large doses of SG-75 depressed contraction of papillary muscle driven with electrical stimulation and inhibited enhancement of contraction of papillary muscle induced by calcium and isoproterenol. From these results it is suggested that SG-75 may have a weak Ca++-antagonistic action.
