In isolated strips pretreated with BaCl (2) (0.2 mM), 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 3 mM), or glybenclamide (1 microM), the sildenafil-induced EC (50) value was significantly increased to 32.8 (19.1-56.4), 27.1 (15.2-48.3) and 20.1 (16.4-24.7) microM, respectively.

Vascular responses to 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), 3-aminopyridine (3-AP), tetraethylammonium (TEA), serotonin, acetylcholine, and adenosine were compared in control and SAH rats.

We have demonstrated that 4-aminopyridine-3-methanol (4-AP-3-MeOH), a 4-aminopyridine derivative, significantly restores axonal conduction in stretched spinal cord white-matter strips and shows no preference in restoring large and small axons.

There are 2 types of transient outward currents (Ito) in the hearts of various mammals: a 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) sensitive K+ current and a 4-AP resistant Ca2+ activated current, carried by Cl-, (referred to as I (to1) and I (to2), respectively).
This I (to) was resistant to 4-AP (3 mmol/L, n=30) but sensitive to both anthrancene-9-carboxylic acid (9-AC, 3 mmol/L, n=8) and 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (100 micromol/L, n=3).

The potassium channel blockers tetraethylammonium (TEA, 10 mM) and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 3 mM and 30 microM) reduced I (K), but only TEA attenuated the ability of PDBu to further inhibit the current, suggesting that the I (K) modified by PDBu was sensitive to TEA.

The reduction was evident at submillimolar concentration and increased to about 80% with 4 mM 4-AP. 3.

In the present investigation, changes in Ca (2+) influx into synaptosomes by organic forms of selenium and tellurium were examined under nondepolarizing and depolarizing conditions induced by high KCl concentration (135 mM) or by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP).
In the presence of 4-AP (3 mM) as depolarizing agent, ebselen (400 micro M) caused a significant increase, whereas diphenyl diselenide and diphenyl ditelluride inhibited Ca (2+) influx into synaptosomes.

OBJECTIVE: It is unknown whether 4-aminopyridine- (4-AP-) sensitive transient outward K (+) current (I (to1)) and/or Ca (2+)-activated transient outward Cl (-) current (I (Ca.Cl) or I (to2)) contribute (s) to phase 1 repolarization of pig ventricular action potential (AP).

Isoprenaline-induced relaxation in the presence of SQ 22,536 was significantly diminished by iberiotoxin (IbTx, 0.1 microM), but was not affected by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 3 mM).
