General description

Methoxyverapamil is a calmodulin antagonist. It controls flagellar glycoprotein redistribution by modulating calcium signalling. Methoxyverapamil impacts the effect of intracellular calcium levels and affects the sperm capacitation function.

Application

(±)-Methoxyverapamil hydrochloride has been used:
  • as calcium channel antagonist in Schistosoma mansoni parasite
  • as calcium entry blocker in cultured macrophages
  • in the inhibition of L-type voltage gated Ca2+-channels

Biochem/physiol Actions

Blocks L-type Ca2+ channels

Melanoidins obtained from L-arginine and D-glucose (MW > 3500 Da) were tested for their ability to influence the contractility of gastric smooth muscles. A study within the range 0.1-10 mg/mL revealed that at low concentrations, the melanoidins provoked concentration-dependent contraction

It has been suggested that store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOC) facilitates catecholamine secretion and synthesis in bovine adrenal medullary (AM) cells. However, there has been no experimental result clearly showing that cation channel activity is enhanced by store Ca(2+) depletion. Thus
