This study was performed to investigate the effect of chloroquine (CQ) on the contractility of isolated smooth muscles of the rat uterus, urinary bladder; and trachea. Chloroquine, 4 x 10(-4) mol.l-1 completely abolished uterine contractions produced by 10(-2) IU/ml oxytocin, and 10(-6) mol.l-1 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and acetylcholine (Ach). Chloroquine also caused a concentration-dependent relaxation of 10(-6) mol.l-1 Ach-contracted rat trachea. Cumulative addition of CQ (10(-8)-10(-3) mol.l-1) to spontaneously contracting rat urinary bladder did not produce any significant effect. It also did not affect the contractile response of the bladder to Ach and 5-HT. The results suggest that CQ inhibits the contractile process in the rat uterus and trachea but not the urinary bladder.
