Species differences in the actions of sensory neuropeptides on contractility of the smooth muscle of the rat and guinea-pig prostate.

abstract：:Summary 1. The non-selective K(+) channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) has shown clinical efficacy in the treatment of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. The clinical usefulness of 4-AP is hampered by its ability to produce seizures. Nerispirdine, an analogue of 4-AP, is currently under clinical inve...
