Nifedipine

Nifedipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker that reduces the amplitude of spontaneous contractions in isolated rabbit ileum when used at a concentration of 1 µM. Nifedipine (1 µM) reduces TGF-beta-induced calcium oscillations in human fibroblasts and prevents impairment of lung function in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin (Cay-13877) when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg per day. It also reduces increases in mean arterial blood pressure induced by angiotensin II (Cay-17150) in spontaneously hypertensive rats when administered at a dose of 10 µg/kg. Formulations containing nifedipine have been used in the treatment of hypertension and angina.Formal Name: 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 3,5-dimethyl ester.
