'''Papaverine''' is an [[opium]] [[alkaloid]] used primarily in the treatment of visceral [[spasm]], [[vasospasm]] (especially those involving the [[heart]] and the [[brain]]), and occasionally in the treatment of [[erectile dysfunction]].{{ref_label|3|3|e}} While it is found in the [[opium poppy]], papaverine differs in both structure and pharmacological action from the other opium alkaloids ([[opiates]]).
|brandNames=
== Uses ==
Papaverine is approved to treat spasms of the gastointestinal tract, [[bile duct]]s and [[ureter]] and for use as a [[cerebral]] and [[coronary]] [[vasodilator]]{{ref_label|3|3|f}} in [[subarachnoid hemorrhage]] (combined with [[balloon angioplasty]]){{ref_label|6|6|a}} and [[coronary artery bypass surgery]].{{ref_label|7|7|a}} Papaverine may also be used as a smooth muscle relaxant in [[microsurgery]] where it is applied directly to blood vessels.
The in vivo mechanism of action is not entirely clear, but an inhibition of the [[enzyme]] phosphodiesterase causing elevation of cyclic AMP levels is significant. It may also alter [[mitochondria]]l [[Cellular respiration|respiration]].
* ®<ref>{{Cite web | title = | url = }}</ref>
It is also commonly used in [[cryopreservation]] of [[blood vessels]] along with other glycosaminoglycans and protein suspensions.<ref>E. Müller-Schweinitzer and P. Ellis: "Sucrose promotes the functional activity of blood vessels after cryopreservation in DMSO-containing fetal calf serum". Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, Volume 345, Number 5 / May, 1992</ref><ref>Muller-Schweinitzer E, Hasse J, Swoboda L. : "Cryopreservation of human bronchi.". J Asthma. 1993;30(6):451-7. Links

</ref> Functions as a [[vasodilator]] during cryopreservation when used in conjunction with [[verapamil]], [[phentolamine]], [[nifedipine]], tolazolines, or [[nitroprusside]].<ref>Brockbank KG.: "Effects of cryopreservation upon vein function in vivo". Cryobiology. 1994 Feb;31(1):71-81</ref><ref>Joseph S. Giglia, Jeremy D. Ollerenshaw, Patti E. Dawson, Kirby S. Black, William M. Abbott : "Cryopreservation Prevents Arterial Allograft Dilation ".

Papaverine is also being investigated as a topical growth factor in tissue expansion with some success.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Tang Y, Luan J, Zhang X |title=Accelerating tissue expansion by application of topical papaverine cream |journal=Plast. Reconstr. Surg. |volume=114 |issue=5 |pages=1166–9 |year=2004 |pmid=15457029}}</ref>

== Side effects ==
* A® — B®<ref name="www.ismp.org">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = http://www.ismp.org | url = http://www.ismp.org | publisher = | date = }}</ref>
Frequent side effects of papaverine treatment include polymorphic [[ventricular tachycardia]], constipation, interference with [[sulphobromophthalein]]{{ref_label|8|8|a}} [[retention test]] (used to determine hepatic function), increased [[transaminase]] levels, increased [[alkaline phosphatase]] levels, [[somnolence]], and [[Vertigo (medical)|vertigo]].{{ref_label|3|3|g}}
Rare side effects include flushing of the face, [[hyperhidrosis]] (excessive sweating), [[cutaneous eruption]], arterial [[hypotension]], tachycardia, lack of appetite, [[jaundice]], [[eosinophilia]], [[thrombopenia]], mixed [[hepatitis]], headache, allergic reaction, chronic active hepatitis,{{ref_label|3|3|h}} and paradoxical aggravation of cerebral vasospasm.{{ref_label|9|9|a}}
