Comparison of the Antiischaemic and Antianginal Effects of Nicorandil and Amlodipine in Patients with Symptomatic Stable Angina Pectoris: the SWAN Study
Journal of Clinical and Basic Cardiology An Independent International Scientific Journal Journal of Clinical and Basic Cardiology 1999; 2 (2), 213-217 Comparison of the antiischaemic and antianginal effects of nicorandil and amlodipine in patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris: the SWAN study The SWAN Study Group Homepage: www.kup.at/jcbc Online Data Base Search for Authors and Keywords Indexed in Chemical Abstracts EMBASE/Excerpta Medica Krause & Pachernegg GmbH · VERLAG für MEDIZIN und WIRTSCHAFT · A-3003 Gablitz/Austria ORIGINAL PAPERS, CLINICAL The SWAN study J Clin Basic Cardiol 1999; 2: 213 Comparison of the antiischaemic and antianginal effects of nicorandil and amlodipine in patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris: the SWAN study The SWAN Study Group1 This multicentre, double-blind, randomised study compared the antiischaemic and antianginal effects of nicorandil and amlodipine in patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris. Nicorandil is a new coronary and balanced peripheral vasodilating agent that operates through two mechanisms of action: activation of ATP-dependent K-channels and stimulation of guanylate cyclase. A total of 121 patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris were randomised to receive nicorandil 10 mg twice daily (bd) or amlodipine 5 mg once daily (od) for 8 weeks (optional dosage increase after 2-4 weeks to 20 mg bd and 10 mg od, respec- tively). Symptom-limited exercise tolerance tests were performed at baseline, and after 2 and 8 weeks treatment, respectively. In addition, the number of anginal attacks, nitroglycerin (NTG) usage, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and adverse events were recorded, and a subjective assessment of quality of life performed. -
AMANTADIP\Dle: on Nemolebtic-II[WDUCED CATALEPSY UV the RAT
J. Fac. Plmnz. Istanbul lstanbul Ecz. Fak. Mec. 29, 1 (1993) 29, 1 (1993) THE EFFECT OF CYPROHEPT~~AWEb AMANTADIP\dlE: ON NEmOLEBTIC-II[WDUCED CATALEPSY UV THE RAT SUMMARY Catalepsy is not a unitary phenomenon. With respect to biochemical mechanisms and neurotransmitter sytems, the origin of this behavioural response varies according to different substances which cause catalepsy. For example, the catdeptogenic effect of ne- uroleptics has been related to the blockage of striatal doparnine receptors. Neurophysio- logical and biochemical data have shown that a mechanism caused by gama-aminobuty- ric acid and serotonin have been effective in the proper functioning of the dopaminergic nigrosbriatal tract. We have studied the effects of cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist, and of amantadin which is used in the treatment of Parkinson syndrome on the catalepsy indu- ced by trifluoperazine, a phenothiazin compound, and pimozid, a drug used as a neuro- leptic. It was observed that when rats were pretreated with cyproheptadine as well as amantadiie, the catalepsy induced by the above neuroleptic drugs was attenuated. The results of our study show that substances which have an effect on the seroto- nergic and dopaminergic systems also play a role on cases of catalepsy induced by the neuroleptic drugs mentioned above.

What is the magnitude of metabolic dysregulation (defined as alterations in fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels) and alterations in body weight and body mass index associated with short-term (‘acute’) antipsychotic treatment in individuals with schizophrenia? 2.
