In this review we present the effects of a well-known antianginal drug, prenylamine (PNL), in experimental models of acute myocardial damage induced by a beta-agonistic drug, isoproterenol (ISP), in several trials conducted in our laboratory in both rats (n = 204) and monkeys (n = 26). PNL significantly inhibited ISP-induced lesions, protecting the majority of animals studied. Studies dealing with the site of action of the drug, such as 45Ca, 3H-PNL and 3H-ISP trials, showed a clear membrane…

It is concluded that prenylamine has a direct effect on cardiac calcium channels, not mediated by adrenoceptor activation, and was thus not due to indirect changes in endogenous catecholamine action.

The data presented here demonstrate that prenylamine possesses local anesthetic properties in vitro and elicits prolonged local anesthesia in vivo.

We have shown previously that prenylamine, a calcium channel blocker, has potent local anesthetic activity in vivo and in vitro. We now characterize the tonic and use-dependent block of prenylamine…
