Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Cats: forty minutes after intravenous administration of nictindole (2 mg/kg) the formation of platelet depostis was reduced by half. Three hours after i.v. administration of nictindole at a dose of 20 mg/kg the remaining anti-platelet activity was 18% for nictindole as compared to its antithrombotic action, which was recorded 40 min after their administration.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

ATP and adenosine (10(-5) and 10(-4) M) caused a moderate contraction of the guinea-pig trachea under resting tone. This effect was antagonized by nictindole (10(-7) M).
