Biological context of VERAPAMIL

 

Anatomical context of VERAPAMIL

  • The discovery that verapamil partially reverses chloroquine resistance in vitro led to the proposal that efflux may involve an ATP-driven P-glycoprotein pump similar to that in mammalian multidrug-resistant (mdr) tumor cell lines [25].
  • The calcium channel blockers, verapamil and diltiazem, inhibit phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced mitogenesis at concentrations that block the T lymphocyte K channel currents [26].
  • IMPLICATIONS: In vitro sensitization by the addition of verapamil in cell lines with these low levels of mdr-1/Pgp suggests that clinically detected levels may confer drug resistance in vivo [27].
  • Hence, our data strongly suggest that pharmacological intervention with verapamil merits investigation as a potential therapeutic option not only for patients with sarcoglycan mutations, but also for patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy associated with myocardial ischemia not related to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease [28].
  • Using mouse models of cardiomyopathy made by ablating genes for components of the sarcoglycan complex, we show that long-term treatment with verapamil, a calcium channel blocker with vasodilator properties, can alleviate the severe cardiomyopathic phenotype, restoring normal serum levels for cardiac troponin I and normal cardiac muscle morphology [28].
 

Associations of VERAPAMIL with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of VERAPAMIL

  • The inhibitory effect of UIC2 in vitro was as strong as that of verapamil (a widely used Pgp inhibitor) at its highest clinically achievable concentrations [34].
  • A time-dependent flux of IL-2 across dense monolayers, which was partially inhibited by Ver, was observed [35].
  • Release of IL-4 and IFN-gamma was significantly inhibited by Ver, Tmx, and UIC2; however, release of IL-6 remained unaffected [35].
  • E217G neither stimulated MDR1 ATPase activity nor inhibited verapamil-stimulated ATPase activity [36].
  • For the latter two drugs, MRP transfectants, which were approximately 8- and approximately 10-fold more sensitive than control cells in the absence of verapamil, exhibited 3.8- and 3.3-fold relative sensitization with 10 microM verapamil, respectively, but remained approximately 2 and approximately 3-fold more resistant than control cells [37].
