ABSTRACT Objective : To investigate the smooth muscle relaxant activity of a newly synthesized dihydropyrimidine derivative 5-acyl-6-methyl-4-phenyl-2-S-ethyl-1,4-dihydropyrimidine (BK- VI) and nifedipine on isolated rat uterus and rabbit aortic strip. Material and Methods : Effect of the test compound BK-VI on the smooth muscles of isolated rat uterus and isolated rabbit aortic strip was observed and compared with that of nifedipine. Observations were made with increasing bath concentrations of BK-VI and nifedipine.Six preparations were used for each dose of BK-VI and nifedipine.Mean effect of increasing doses of BK-VI and nifedipine on the height of calcium-induced contraction of depolarized isolated rabbit aortic strip and on K + -induced contraction of isolated rat uterus were noted and IC-50 calculated. Results : Test compound BK-VI had a significant dose-dependent relaxant effect on K + -induced contractions of isolated rat uterus. Significant relaxation was seen at bath concentration starting from 9.34x10 -4 M (IC-50=12.2x10 -4 M).Nifedipine showed significant relaxation at all bath concentrations starting from 2.8X10 -7 M(IC 50 =7.5X10 -7 M).Compound BK-VI produced potentiation of Ca 2+ -induced contractions of K+-depolarized rabbit’s aortic strip at bath concentration of 0.7×10 -5 M while significant inhibition was observed at higher bath concentrations. Nifedipine showed dose-dependent significant inhibition at all bath concentrations. Conclusion : BK-VI has a calcium channel blocking activity like nifedipine and it can inhibit the Ca 2+ dependent contractions of smooth muscles of uterus and aorta. KEY WORD: Calcium channel blockers, Dihydropyrimidines, Voltage dependent calcium channels.
