Drotaverine, an antispasmodic drug, is a synthetic derivative of the natural isoquinoline alkaloid of Papaver somniferum, papaverine. It inhibits cyclic-3',5'-nucleotide-phophodiesterase (PDE) enzymes with concentration-dependent specificity, in addition, it behaves as a L-type voltage- operated calcium channel (L-VOCC) blocker. Drotaverin also acts as a cytostatic compound for several human tumor cell lines. Drotaverine is an effective medicine to treat spasm or twitches of the smooth muscles in the stomach and heart. It is used to relieve pain caused due to irritable bowel syndrome, headache, menstrual periods, and is also used to relieve cervical spasm during labor.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The drug is administered for interior use. 1-2 tablets (0.04—0.08 g) 2—3 time a day. In children under 6 0.01—0.02 g 1—2 times a day, in children of 6—12 years old — 0.02 g 1—2 times a day. In children after 12 the adult dose.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Drotaverin also acts as a cytostatic compound for several human tumor cell lines and nonmalignant mouse fibroblasts, and EC50 values as low as 3.0 μM were observed in SRB assays for HT-29 human colorectal carcinoma cells.
