[Electrophysiological analysis of the action of kavinton on the smooth muscles].
Cavinton at a concentration of 10(-7)-10(-5) M was found to have a dose-dependent relaxing effect on bovine cerebral artery smooth muscles, without changing the resting potential and membrane resistance. Smooth muscles of the rabbit portal vein and guinea-pig taenia coli were insensitive to low cavinton concentrations. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that relaxing action of cavinton is due to the blocking of Ca2+ ions influx into the cells of cerebral artery through receptor-operated calcium channels. At higher concentrations (exceeding 10(-5) M) cavinton exerts nonspecific influence on the smooth muscles under study, inhibiting their excitability and decreasing membrane resistance resulting in the attenuation of tetanic contractions in the smooth muscles of the portal vein and taenia coli.
