Description

Moxaverine, a derivative of papaverine, is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Moxaverine has been studied in phase III of a clinical trial for the treatment of ocular blood flow in patients with age- related macular degeneration and primary open angle glaucoma. In addition, it has been studied in phase II of the clinical trial for the treatment of ischemia. This compound is prohibited by FEI (International Federation of equine).

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
intravenous infusion of 150 mg in 250 ml NaCl, applied over 30 minutes.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Using a combination of techniques to assess quantitatively the shape and the filterability of red blood cells (RBC) after exposure to stress conditions (400 mosmol/l, lactacidosis, pH 6.8), the effects of 1-benzyl-3-ethyl-6,7-dimethoxy-isoquinoline hydrochloride (moxaverine-HCl, Kollateral) were tested. The shape of freely suspended RBC was quantified using the tangent count procedure. Moxaverine, when present in doses between 10(-5) und 10(-2) mol/l while the RBC are stressed, restored both the normal discoid red cell configuration and the microrheological performance when tested under low shear stresses. The data showed that moxaverine exerted protective effects on RBC membrane curvature and whole cell microrheological behavior (performance).
