SummaryThe effects of some beta-adrenoceptor antagonists (atenolol, betaxolol, bunitrolol, labetalol, pindolol, and propranolol) on Ca2+ (pCa 5.8)-activated tension development in chemically skinned fibers from canine coronary artery and right ventricular trabeculae were studied. In skinned coronary arteries, Ca2+-activated tension development was decreased by betaxolol and propranolol at concentrations of more than 10−5 and 10−4 M, respectively. The pCa-tension relationships were shifted to…

Celiprolol Increases Coronary Blood Flow and Reduces Severity of Myocardial Ischemia via Nitric Oxide Release
TLDR
It was concluded that celiprolol mediates coronary vasodilation and improves myocardial ischemia through NO-dependent mechanisms and is independent of &bgr;-adrenoceptor blockade.

Vascular effects of betaxolol, a cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, in isolated rat arteries.
TLDR
The results suggest that betaxolol possesses a direct vasodilating action, and the action may be due to the inhibition of Ca2+ influx across the cell membrane.
Effects of betaxolol on cardiohemodynamics and coronary circulation in anesthetized dogs: comparison with atenolol and propranolol.
TLDR
The result that the cardiodepressant effect of betaxolol was much less potent than those of atenolol and propranolol suggests that betaxOLol would be more beneficial than the others in the treatment of ischemic heart disease.
Effects of (+)-propranolol on intracellular mechanisms of contraction in striated muscle of the rabbit
TLDR
It is concluded that propranolol induces decreases in muscle contraction mainly by decreasing calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) while measuring physiological tension.
Effect of isomazole on the responsiveness to calcium of the contractile elements in skinned cardiac muscle fibres of various species.
The β1‐adrenoceptor antagonist, betaxolol, is not released from the heart of the anaesthetized dog during sympathetic nerve stimulation
TLDR
During in vivo accelerans nerve stimulation, the concentration of betaxolol in the coronary sinus was not modified, whereas the noradrenaline concentration increased significantly, which antagonized the tachycardia induced by electrical stimulation of the cardiac accelerator nerves or by intravenous isoprenaline.
Vasodilation by medroxalol mediated by beta 2-adrenergic receptor stimulation.
TLDR
It is concluded that a substantial portion of the hypotensive effect of medroxalol is due to a beta 2-adrenergic-receptor-mediated vasodilation.
Effects of Levosimendan, a cardiotonic agent targeted to troponin C, on cardiac function and on phosphorylation and Ca2+ sensitivity of cardiac myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticulum in guinea pig heart.
TLDR
Results indicate that at low concentrations Levosimendan acts preferably as a Ca2+ sensitizer, whereas at higher concentrations its action as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor contributes to the positive inotropic effect.
Stimulation of cardiac myofilament force, ATPase activity and troponin C Ca++ binding by bepridil.
TLDR
The results indicate that the inotropic action of bepridil may result from a net response of heart cells to influences on the delivery of Ca++ to the myofilaments and their response to Ca++.
[Antihypertensive effect of betaxolol, a cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, in renal hypertensive dogs].
TLDR
Findings indicate that a certain vasodilating activity may contribute to the antihypertensive mechanism of betaxolol.
Effects on calmodulin of bepridil, an antianginal agent.
TLDR
The results suggest that the effect of bepridil on the cardiovascular system is due not only to its Ca++ channel blocking action but also to a calmodulin antagonistic action.
