Description

Aminopyridines and Similarly Acting Drugs: Effects on Nerves, Muscles and Synapses presents the proceedings of a IUPHAR Satellite Symposium in conjunction with the eighth International Congress of Pharmacology held in Paris, France on July 27-29, 1981. The book contains papers on the effects of aminopyridines on ionic currents in excitable membranes; the effects of aminopyridines on synaptic transmission; and the effects of aminopyridines on the release of chemical transmitters. The text also presents papers on some differences in the blockade of potassium permeabilities by apamin and the aminopyridines; the miscellaneous actions of aminopyridines and related compounds; and the effects of aminopyridines on the skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle. The clinical applications of aminopyridines and further miscellaneous actions of aminopyridines and related compounds are also considered.
