| Abstract | We have investigated the actions of the H1 receptor antagonist terfenadine on voltage sensitive calcium channels and calcium-mediated pathways. We found that terfenadine preventedN-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated excitotoxicity following stimulation of L-type voltage sensitive calcium channels by the specific agonist BayK8644. The neuroprotective effect of terfenadine was concentration-dependent, 10 and 100 nM terfenadine providing 50 and 100% neuroprotection, respectively. Neuroprotection was associated with a decrease in calcium influx via L-voltage sensitive calcium channels. Terfenadine fully reversed the increase in intracellular calcium induced by BayK8644, and delayed significantly the time necessary for this agonist to induce maximum intracellular calcium levels. Calciummediated biochemical pathways coupled to voltage sensitive calcium channels activation were also affected by terfenadine. This drug inhibited intracellular cGMP formation by BayK8644 in a concentration-dependent manner, 100 nM terfenadine reducing cGMP formation by 50% and 1 μM terfenadine fully inhibiting cGMP synthesis. Terfenadine reduced NMDA receptor-mediated cGMP formation due to the release of glutamate following activation of calcium channels by BayK8644. Finally, we also show that terfenadine effectively reduced steady-state concentrations of both intracellular calcium and cGMP in unstimulated cultures in their usual growing conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
