Amlodipine, an antianginal agent and an orally active dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, works by blocking the voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels, thereby inhibiting the initial influx of calcium. Amlodipine can be used for the research of high blood pressure and cancer.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

: Amlodipine purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Food Chem Toxicol. 2025 Feb 10:115317. [Abstract]; A CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of AMs on the proliferation of Ishikawa cells. The results showed that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of Amlodipine (AM) against Ishikawa cells (at 72 h) was 12.36 μM.

: Amlodipine purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Food Chem Toxicol. 2025 Feb 10:115317. [Abstract]; Cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry using Annexin-V/PI staining. The results showed that the apoptotic rate of the Amlodipine (AM) (15 μM; 12 h)-treated Ishikawa cells was 16.8%, which was 2.16-fold higher than that in cells treated with DMSO.

: Amlodipine purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Exp Mol Med. 2021 Apr;53(4):572-590. [Abstract]; 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.

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.
