Suramin and the inhibitory junction potential in taenia caeci of the guinea-pig.
Suramin selectively inhibits the non-adrenergic non-cholinergic inhibitory junction potential in the guinea-pig stomach.
Effects of ATP antagonists on purinoceptor-operated inward currents in rat phaeochromocytoma cells
TLDR
Results suggest that suramin and RB2 reversibly block binding of ATP to receptors, whereas d-TC blocks ion permeability through the ATP-activated channel, suggesting that RB2 is a slowly acting antagonist.
Suramin reverses non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockade in rat diaphragm.
Antagonistic properties of four suramin-related compounds at vascular purine P2X receptors in the pithed rat.
Purinoceptors in neuromuscular transmission.
P2-purinoceptor-activated membrane currents and inositol tetrakisphosphate formation are blocked by suramin.
Electrical and mechanical effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide in the rat colon involve different mechanisms.
The P2‐purinoceptor antagonist suramin is a competitive antagonist at vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors in the rat gastric fundus
TLDR
The results suggest that suramin acts as a competitive antagonist at VIP receptors in the rat gastric fundus, and the possible involvement of ATP in EFS‐induced NANC relaxations is investigated.
Effects of the P2‐purinoceptor antagonist, suramin, on human platelet aggregation induced by adenosine 5′‐diphosphate
TLDR
Results provide evidence that the ADP receptor on human platelets is indeed similar to the P2‐purinoceptors responding to adenine nucleotides on smooth muscle and other tissues, and show that suramin cannot distinguish between the proposed subtypes of the P1‐purINOceptors.

Suramin: a reversible P2‐purinoceptor antagonist in the mouse vas deferens
TLDR
Results suggest that Suramin may provide a starting point for the development of specific antagonists for P2‐purinoceptors in mouse vas deferens.
Is there a basis for distinguishing two types of P2-purinoceptor?
Action of externally applied adenosine triphosphate on single smooth muscle cells dispersed from rabbit ear artery.
TLDR
These results are consistent with ATP activating a conductance that is cation selective but allows both monovalent and divalent cations to pass across the membrane.
Studies on the stereoselectivity of the P2‐purinoceptor on the guinea‐pig vas deferens
TLDR
These results show that unlike the P2‐purinoceptor mediating excitatory responses in the guinea‐pig bladder, the P1‐purinosome mediating contraction in the Guinea‐Pig vas deferens displays stereoselectivity.
Calcium and the action of adrenaline, adenosine triphosphate and carbachol on guinea‐pig taenia caeci
TLDR
It is concluded that ATP and the α-agonist, after binding to their receptor sites, activate the same mechanism, which is mobilization of calcium from the same membrane compartment to open potassium channels, causingHyperpolarization of the muscle cell membrane depending on the availability of external calcium to replenish the calcium compartment localized in the membrane.
