title: [Ca2+ channel blocking effect of panaxadiol saponins and panaxatriol saponins of cultured cardiac cells].
abstract: It was found that PDS and PTS decreased the action potential parameters of the cultured myocardiocytes in a dosage-dependent way. The effects of PDS 1000 micrograms/ml, PTS 200 micrograms/ml were in correspondence with the known Ca2+ channel blocker Mn2+ 0.05 micrograms/ml. Washing out, administration of epinephrine 10 micrograms/ml or Ca2+ 80 micrograms/ml were able to reverse the action potential from inhibition. The above results indicate that both PDS and PTS have Ca2+ channel blockade action.
