In Vivo Activity
Bunamidine, in the rat heart, caused a dose-dependent decrease in spontaneous heart rate, coronary flow and isometric systolic tension, but increased diastolic tension at 10,000 ng/ml. Bunamidine altered electrical activity by prolonging PR, QRS and QT intervals. It also produced partial heart block and ventricular standstill. Lastly, b unamidine diminished cardiac glycogen, ATP and creatine phosphate and increased tissue content of d-glucose-6-phosphate, l-(-)-glycerol-1-phosphate and lactate. Conversion of phosphorylase b to a was increased.
