Abstract

Thirteen Ca 2+ entry blockers were compared with respect to their inhibitory effects on the activity of smooth muscle myosin light-chain kinase and smooth muscle protein kinase C, and the Ca 2+-induced contraction of basilar artery rings. Comparison of the IC 50 values obtained for these compounds, suggests that with the exception of ferdiline inhibition of the enzymes does not contribute to vascular smooth muscle relaxation.
