Amlodipine maleate
Based on 15 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Amlodipine maleate is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, acts as an orally active antianginal agent. Amlodipine maleate blocks the voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels, thereby inhibiting the initial influx of calcium. Amlodipine maleate can be used for the research of high blood pressure and cancer.

Amlodipine maleate (20-40 μM; 48 h) reduces BrdU incorporation to 68.6% and 26.3% at concentrations of 20 and 30 μM in A431 cells, respectively[3].
Amlodipine maleate (30 μM; pretreated for 1 h) significantly attenuates the uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP)-induced increases of [Ca2+]i in A431 cells[3].
Amlodipine maleate (30 μM) inhibits the store-operated Ca2+influx evoked by Thapsigargin in Fluo-3-loaded cells[3].

Rat GMCs pretreated with the calcium channel blocker Amlodipine (10μM), inhibitors of PKC (Go6983; 10μM), c-Raf (AZ628, 10μM) and MEK1/2 (U0126, 10μM) for 30min were stimulated with sublytic C5b-9 for 4 0min or 2h. The intracellular calcium was determined by Fluo-4 AM. The results showed that Amlodipine effectively blocked the rise in intracellular calcium levels in rat GMCs induced by 40 min of sublytic C5b-9 stimulation.
