Amrinone suppresses the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human mononuclear cells
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) exerts a wide spectrum of biological activities and contributes to the pathophysiology of septic shock. Elevated circulating levels of TNF have also been reported in patients with severe chronic heart failure. We studied

Amrinone potentiates catecholamine-induced lipolysis in fat cells
Am&tone, a bipyridine derivative, exerts a positive inotropic action in vitro 11-31 and in viuo 141. In addition, the drug produces a marked relaxation of vascular [5,6] and intestinal [5,7-91 smooth muscle.

Effect of amrinone on mucosal permeability in experimental intestinal ischaemia/reperfusion injury
Background: The preventive effect of amrinone on ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has been shown in the medical literature. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the preventive effect of amrinone on I/R injury of the small bowel of the ...

In rabbit papillary muscles, the pronounced inotropic effect of amrinone (0.4–0.8 mg/mL) observed at low stimulation frequencies (0.1–0.5 Hz) diminished as the frequency was increased to 1.0–2.0 Hz. Reversal of the negative inotropic effect of halothane

Effect of amrinone on right ventricular function: predominance of afterload reduction.
Although the bipyridine agent amrinone is reported to have a positive inotropic effect on the left ventricle, the effect of this drug on right ventricular contractility in the clinical setting is unknown.

Effects of amrinone on the contractile behaviour of frog striated muscle fibres
The effects of amrinone (0.005–2.1 mM) were studied on isolated single muscle fibres of the frog (0.6–4.3 °C). In the concentrations used amrinone potentiated the isometric twitch, increased the initial rate of force development and prolonged the time to
