Popis: Verapamil was shown to be able to recover a significantly depressed actomyosin ATPase activity of the unaffected left ventricular area in experimental myocardial ischemia. The drug also increased Ca-sensitivity of the ATPase reaction, with the amount of actomyosin components (Tn-1, LCM-1, LCM-2, Tn-C) almost reaching the control level. The possibility of direct interaction of verapamil with Ca-binding sites on actomyosin macromolecule is suggested. Its influence on metabolism and gene expression is not excluded.
