“In conventional concentration–effect experiments, both the mean contractile force (MCF) and the maximum amplitude of contractions induced by 1 nmol/L oxytocin were inhibited by nifedipine.”
“The voltage-sensitive calcium channel blockers nicardipine, nifedipine , and nitrendipine had similar effects, causing significant suppression of the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by oxytocin.”
“In preparations of pregnant human myometrium, normally polarized or potassium depolarized, oxytocin induced a contractile activity that was effectively inhibited by nifedipine.”

“Oxytocin produced concentration-dependent-contraction … response curves (DRCs) of oxytocin … nifedipine (1 μM), in Ca2+-free Ringer Locke solution (RLS), ruthenium red (30 μM), ruthenium red + nifedipine, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA; …-73122 (1 μM) + nifedipine and SKF96365 (25 μM) on uteri of non-pregnant and pregnant (early and mid) animals.”
“Similarly, the response to OA was unaffected in the presence of nifedipine at a concentration (1 microM) which completely or highly blocked the response to KCl (60 mM), oxytocin (1 microM), or acetylcholine (100 microM).”
“2 Relaxin (0.2–6.3 nM), levcromakalim (25–800 nM), salbutamol (1–63 nM) and nifedipine (1–250 nM) caused concentration‐dependent inhibition of the spasm evoked by oxytocin (0.2 nM) and relaxin was the most potent relaxant.”
“Uterine spasm dependent upon intracellular Ca2+ was elicited by oxytocin (20 nM) in the presence of nifedipine (500 nM).”
