Nilvadipine

Nilvadipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker. It is selective for L-type over N-, P/Q-, and R-type calcium channels at 10 µM. Nilvadipine (10 mg/kg per day, p.o.) inhibits increases in systolic blood pressure induced by chronic intravenous infusion of the peptide vasoconstrictor endothelin in rats. It decreases cortical and hippocampal amyloid-beta burden in the APPsw (Tg2576) and PS1/APPsw transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease when administered at a dose of 0.03% (w/w) in the diet for 17 and 10 months, respectively. Nilvadipine (3.2 mg/kg, s.c.) reduces infarct volume in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Formal Name: 2-cyano-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 3-methyl 5-(1-methylethyl) ester.
