title: [Effect of calmidazolium (R 24571) on the electrical and contractile properties of smooth muscle cells in the guinea pig ureter].
abstract: Calmidazolium in macromolecular concentrations inhibited the electric and contractile activity of smooth muscle cells (SMC). The concentrations causing a 50% inhibition of oscillations on the action potential (AP) plate were equal to 1 X 10(-6) microM, AP amplitude was 3 X 10(-6) microM and contraction amplitude was 1 X 10(-6) microM. Calcium ionophore A 23187/8 X 10(-7) microM, added to the normal Krebs solution, decreased rapid AP components amplitude and increased the contraction power of the isolated SMC strip by 62 +/- 9%. A 23187, though to a lesser extent, increased smooth muscle contractions during the action of calmidazolium. With combined use of A 23187 and calmidazolium, rapid AP components were depressed to a greater extent than each of them taken separately. The data obtained point to the presence of calmodulin or similar protein in SMC of the calcium channels.
