Papaverine hydrochloride has been used:
in oxygenated Krebs solution for tissue mechanics analysis
as a vasodilator in heparinized horse serum in tissue uptake technique
as an inhibitor of H-MPP+ uptake into stably transfected 293 cells expressing either extraneuronal monoamine transporter (EMT) human or EMT rat
