Efecto de amoxapina en preparaciones de órgano aislado de cobaya y de rata "in vitro"

Abstract

OBJETIVE. Study the modifications produced by amoxapine in the responses of isolated guinea-pig to acetylcholine and histamine, rat vas deferens to noradrenaline and dopamine and rat uterus to histamine. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Guinea-pig incubated in Tyrode solution were used. Dose-effect curves to acetylcholine and histamine were made in absence and in the presence of amoxapine. Rat vas deferens incubated in Krebs-Henseleit solution were used. Dose-effect to noradrenaline and dopamine were made in the absence and in the presence of amoxapine. Uterus of rat incubated in Jalon solution were used. Dose-effect curves to histamine were made in the absence and in the presence of amoxapine. pA2 and pD'2 were calculated. RESULTS. Amoxapine behave as antagonist of acetylcholine, histamine and dopamine. CONCLUSIONS. Amoxapine acts as unspecific membrane stabilizer.
