By 86RbCl-extraction method the effects of tetrandrine (Tet), verapamil (Ver) and propranolol (Pro) on myocardial blood flow of mice were studied. Both i.p. Tet 100 mg/kg and Ver 5 mg/kg increased the blood flow, whereas Pro 30 mg/kg did not. Pro counteracted significantly the increase of myocardial blood flow by isoprenaline while Tet and Ver failed. Tet and Ver markedly antagonized the increase of myocardial blood flow by CaCl2, but Pro did not. Tet, differing from the .beta.-receptor blocking agent Pro, may be a Ca antagonist similar to Ver.
