Abstract
The pharmacological effects on the myocardium and the coronary circulation, as well as the antianginal properties are not specific to one or even several well-defined chemical functions, as such properties have been found in a great variety of chemically quite unrelated substances. There is thus no structural specificity for such a type of medication. Moreover, very dissimilar chemical structures are endowed with pharmacological effects on the coronary circulation and cardiovascular system which are essentially the same, and also with a comparable level of antianginal properties.
