Description

Nilvadipine is a potent calcium channel antagonist, and the IC50 value is around 0.1 nM.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.1 nM (Calcium channel)[1]

In Vitro

In an in vitro experiment on inhibition of migration of rat aortic smooth muscle cells, using Zymosan-activated air pouch exudate as a chemoattractant in modified Boyden chambers.The IC50 value is 0.033 nM for Nilvadipine (FR34235). Effects of Nilvadipine on proliferation of rat aortic smooth muscle cells and rabbit platelet aggregation is also examined. Nilvadipine should be useful for preventing and treating atherosclerosis. Inhibition of smooth muscle cell migration is thought to be its mechanism of antiatherogenic activity[2]. The antioxidant effect of calcium antagonist Nilvadipine is studied by means of rat myocardial membrane lipid peroxidation with a nonenzymatic active oxygen-generating system (DHF/FeC13-ADP) with IC50 of 25.1 μM. Nilvadipine shows antioxidant effects both before and after the addition of active oxygen, and reduces the dihydroxyfumarate (DHF) auto-oxidation rate, is chain-breaking and preventive antioxidants. Nicardipine, which shows an antioxidant effect only before exposure to active oxygen and reduced the DHF auto-oxidation rate, is mainly a preventive antioxidant[3].

In Vivo

The antiatherogenic activity of Nilvadipine (FR34235), a calcium antagonist, is examined in rabbits with carotid arteries sheathed with polyethylene cuffs, and compared with that of Nifedipine, Verapamil and Diltiazem. Nilvadipine is given intramuscularly in daily doses of 0.01-10 mg/kg for 3 weeks, starting on the day of cuff-placement. FR34235 dose-dependently inhibits the cuff-induced intimal thickening[2]. Nilvadipine affords significant protection against thinning of retinal layers in the RCS rat during retinal degeneration. Electron microscopy shows that marked irregularity in the photoreceptor OS in the untreated retina[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 3.33 mg/mL (8.64 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.33 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (33.3 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 3.33 mg/mL (8.64 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 3.33 mg/mL.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (33.3 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Animal Administration

Rat[4]
In the present study, 3- to 5-week-old inbred RCS (rdy-/-) rats reared in cyclic light conditions (12 hours on-12 hours off) are used. Nilvadipine and Nifedipine are dissolved in a mixture of ethanol, polyethylene glycol 400, and distilled water (2:1:7) at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, diluted twice with physiological saline before use, and injected intraperitoneally (1.0 mL/kg) into anesthetized rats every day early in the morning for 2 weeks. In control rats, the same solution without Nilvadipine or Nifedipine (vehicle solution) is administered similarly. Nicardipine and Diltiazem are dissolved in PBS at 0.25 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL, respectively, and injected intraperitoneally (1 mL/kg), similarly to the other agonists. As a control, the same volume of a mixture of ethanol, polyethylene glycol 400, and distilled water (2:1:7) or PBS is administered. Before administration, the pH of all drug solutions is adjusted to approximately 7.4. The concentrations of these drugs administered to RCS rats are determined by their concentrations in oral administration to human patients with hypertension for 1 day in our clinical practice (Nilvadipine, 0.05-0.3 mg/kg; Nifedipine, 0.1-0.5 mg/kg; Nicardipine, 0.2-1 mg/kg; and Diltiazem, 0.3-3 mg/kg).

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
