Evaluation of the Role of Plasmalemma Ca²+ Transport Systems in the Vasorelaxant Effect of the CAM-68 Alkaloid under In vitro Conditions
Annotatsiya
This study aims to evaluate how plasma membrane calcium transport mechanisms—specifically L-type calcium channels, receptor-operated calcium channels, and the sodium-calcium exchanger—contribute to the vasorelaxant activity of the alkaloid CAM-68. The isometric contraction force of the aortic rings was recorded using a Grass-Telefactor FT.03 myograph and analysed with the PowerLab data-acquisition software (ADInstruments). Findings indicate that the alkaloid CAM-68 exerts an effective vasorelaxant effect on vascular smooth muscle, which is primarily achieved by modulating intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration.The CAM-68 alkaloid inhibits voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. It also attenuates the activity of the Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange in reverse mode. These effects are associated with the modulation of smooth muscle cell Ca²⁺ homeostasis and the attenuation of Ca²⁺ influx across the membrane.
