Inhibition and Facilitation by Pimobendan, a Calcium Sensitizer, of Catecholamine Secretion From Bovine Adrenal Chromaffin Cells

The effects of pimobendan, a Ca2+ sensitizer with inhibitory action against cyclic-GMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE-III), on catecholamine (CA) secretion were studied in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. In intact cells, pimobendan (10 – 100 μM) inhibited CA secretion stimulated by acetylcholine...
