Antidepressant-like activity of flunarizine in modified tail suspension test in rats.

North American journal of medical sciences

Shinde V, Yegnanarayan R, Shah P, Gupta A, Pophale P.
PMID: 25839001
N Am J Med Sci. 2015 Mar;7(3):100-3. doi: 10.4103/1947-2714.153921.

BACKGROUND: Flunarizine, a Ca(2+) channel blocker, crosses blood brain barrier (BBB), antagonizes calcium influx and interferes with neurotransmitter system. Flunarizine 20 mg/kg exhibited significant antidepressant activity in our previous study using forced swim test (FST) in mice, which was...

INTRODUCTION: Drug therapy for the prevention of migraine attacks is becoming more and attacks is becoming more and more important. The aims of such prophylactic treatment are to reach a lower frequency, shorter duration and milder intensity of migraine...

Determination of flunarizine in plasma by a new high-performance liquid chromatography method. Application to a bioavailability study in the rat.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis

Aparicio X, Gras J, Campos A, Fernandez E, Gelpí E.
PMID: 16867429
J Pharm Biomed Anal. 1988;6(2):167-73. doi: 10.1016/0731-7085(88)80042-6.

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is described for the study of the pharmacokinetics of flunarizine. The method involves selective liquid-solid extraction of flunarizine and meclizine (as internal standard) from samples of rat plasma. The optimization of...

This paper describes a newly developed high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray/mass spectrometry (HPLC/ES/MS) method for the determination of flunarizine (FZ) in artificial cerebrospinal fluid. The optimization for the detection of FZ in biological fluid by LC/ES/MS was investigated. The effects...

Intracellular calcium changes induced by the endozepine triakontatetraneuropeptide in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes: role of protein kinase C and effect of calcium channel blockers.

Cell communication and signaling : CCS

PMID: 15228623
Cell Commun Signal. 2004 Jun 30;2(1):6. doi: 10.1186/1478-811X-2-6.

BACKGROUND: The endozepine triakontatetraneuropeptide (TTN) induces intracellular calcium ([Ca++]i) changes followed by activation in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of protein kinase (PK) C in the modulation of the response to...

Calcium antagonist flunarizine hydrochloride affects striatal D2 dopamine receptors in the young adult and aged rat brain.

The calcium (Ca) antagonist flunarizine hydrochloride (FNZ) has been reported to induce parkinsonism, especially in the elderly. The effects of FNZ on dopamine receptors in rat striatal membranes, especially in aged rats, were studied using radiolabeled receptor assay. Similar...

Interactions of verapamil, D 600, flunarizine and nifedipine with cerebral histamine-receptors.

Experiments conducted on membrane fractions of guinea-pig brain using ligand-binding techniques have shown that certain Ca(2+)-antagonists interact with histamine (H(1) or H(2)) receptors. Flunarizine (inhibition constant, K(i) ? 86 nM) was nearly as potent as diphenhydramine (K(i) ? 44...

Experimental re-evaluation of flunarizine as add-on antiepileptic therapy.

BACKGROUND: Experimental studies have found several calcium channel blockers with anticonvulsant property. Flunarizine is one of the most potent calcium channel blockers, which has shown anticonvulsant effect against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures. However, further experimental and...
