Tolperisone-type drugs inhibit spinal reflexes via blockade of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 315 , 1237-1246, (2005)

The spinal reflex depressant mechanism of tolperisone and some of its structural analogs with central muscle relaxant action was investigated. Tolperisone (50-400 microM), eperisone, lanperisone, inaperisone, and silperisone (25-200 microM) dose dependently d...

A comparative study of the action of tolperisone on seven different voltage dependent sodium channel isoforms.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 538 , 5-14, (2006)

The specific, acute interaction of tolperisone, an agent used as a muscle relaxant and for the treatment of chronic pain conditions, with the Na(v1.2), Na(v1.3), Na(v1.4), Na(v1.5), Na(v1.6), Na(v1.7), and Na(v1.8) isoforms of voltage dependent sodium channel...

Tolperisone--a novel modulator of ionic currents in myelinated axons.

Gen. Physiol. Biophys. 20(4) , 413-29, (2001)

The actions of tolperisone on single intact Ranvier nodes of the toad Xenopus were investigated by means of the Hodgkin-Huxley formalism. Adding tolperisone to the bathing medium (100 micromol/l) caused the following fully reversible effects: 1. The sodium pe...
