Abstract:Isorhynchophylline(Iso)inhibits the automaticity and contractile force of isolated guinea pig atrium in a concen-tration-dependent manner, 30μmol/L markedly depresses adrenaline-induced automaticity, 10μmol/L prolongs func-tional refractory peried and decreases excitabitity. Furthermore, 10μmol/L of Iso reduces the effect of ouabain on con-tractile force in left atrium and 0.3mmol/L markedly inhibits the response to paired stimulation.
