[Calcium transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum in the presence of AR-L 115 BS].

: 2-[(2-Methoxy-4-methylsulfinyl)phenyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (AR-L 115 BS) is a substance with positive inotropic activity which does not influence the activity of the sarcoplasmic calcium pump. It can, therefore, be expected that AR-L 115 BS does not interfere with the distribution and movement of calcium in the resting and active muscle.
