White s observations on the pharmacological activity of the lysergic acids and their simple amides are of practical, therapeutic interest in view of the possibility of preparing from natural supplies of these acids, partially synthetic oxytocic substances of which a first series by Stoll and Hofmann has been described (p. 528), including d-lysergic-(-t-)-jS-butanolamide, already the subject of promising clinical trials. ... 

Few areas of organic medicinal chemistry in recent memory have had so many closely spaced pulses of intense research activity as the prostaglandins. Following closely on the heels of the discovery of the classical monocyclic prostaglandins (prostaglandin El, F2, A2, etc.), with their powerful associated activities, for example, oxytocic, blood pressure regulating, and inflammatory, was the discovery of the bicyclic analogues (the thromboxanes, prostacyclin) with their profound effects on hemodynamics and platelet function. More recently, the non-...

Oxytocic drag s are drug s that are used in antepartum (before birth of the neonate) to induce uterine contractions similar to those of normal labor. These dragp are desirable when early vaginal delivery is in the best interest of the woman and the fetus.

Ni2 + exerts a oxytocic effect on rat uterine muscle in vitro [366]. Exposure to nickel also caused mitochondrial structural damage and accumulation of glycogen. 

Dihydroergotamine, a hydrogenated derivative of ergotamine, differs mainly in its degree of activity. It has less vasoconstrictive action than ergotamine, is 12 times less active as an emetic and has less oxytocic effect.
