Popis: We studied the mechanisms of action of imidazobenzimidazole derivative RU-1117 on calcium homeostasis in myocytes isolated from rat thoracic aorta. In therapeutic concentrations, RU-1117 increased the content of free calcium ions due to their mobilization from intracellular depot via the IP3-dependent mechanisms. Antagonists of angiotensin II AT1-receptors irbesartan and, to greater extent, eprosartan abolished the calcium-mobilizing action of RU-1117. Selective antagonist of endothelin ETA-receptors sitaxsentan and α1-adrenoceptor agonist prazosin produced no effect on calcium mobilization caused by novel local anesthetic RU-1117.
