説明

The effect of mibefradil, known as a T- and L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist, on the histamine-induced Cl current and Ca2+ entry was investigated in human aortic endothelial cells by the fluorescence measurement of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) combined with the patch clamp method. Mibefradil (10 μM) inhibited both the Cl current and Ca2+ entry in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 4.8 and 2.6 μM for the Cl current and [Ca2+]i, respectively. These values were comparable to those reported for the inhibition of the T-type Ca2+ channel and other Cl channels. The suppression of Ca2+ entry is not caused by the inhibition of the Cl current and the resulting depolarization since the inhibition was still observed under the voltage clamp condition. These results suggest that mibefradil is a potent blocker not only for the agonist-induced Cl current but also Ca2+ entry channels in vascular endothelial cells.<br>
