Nisoldipine
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Nisoldipine (BAY-k 5552; Sular) is an orally active and blood-brain barrier-penetrating dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, with greater vascular selectivity than other calcium channel antagonists. Nisoldipine inhibits calcium influx and blocks voltage-gated calcium channels. Nisoldipine dilates coronary and systemic arteries. Nisoldipine has antihypertensive and anti-anginal activity. Nisoldipine also displays neuroprotective and antiviral activity.

Nisoldipine noncompetitively reduces the activity of human Paraoxonase 1, with an IC50 of 13.987 μM[3].
Nisoldipine (10-100 μM, 8-10 min) is about 30 times less selective for delayed-rectifier K+ channels than for L-type Ca2+ channels in fully polarised guinea-pig ventricular myocytes[4].
Nisoldipine also displays antioxidant potency with IC50 of 28.2 μM both before and after the addition of active oxygen[5].
Nisoldipine (1 μM, 90 s) largely prevents the elevation in [Ca2+]i caused by Lipopolysaccharide in Kupffer cells[6].
Nisoldipine (20 μM, 3 h pretreatment) exerts antiviral effect by interfering with the internalization of influenza A virus into A549 cells[7].
Nisoldipine (a cumulative manner from 1 to 10 and 100 nM at 5-min intervals) decreases elevated coronary perfusion pressure in NG-nitro-L-arginine (HY-12115)-perfused rat hearts[8].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Nisoldipine (1000 ppm, diet, 12-14 weeks) prevents the development of hypertension and attenuates concomitant cardiac and aortic hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats[9].
Nisoldipine (1000 ppm, diet, 22 weeks) attenuates hypertension and protects the heart, reducing the incidence of microscopic scarring, reactive interstitial and perivascular fibrosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats[10].
Nisoldipine (20-40 mg/kg, intragastric gavage, daily, from day 2 to day 21) attenuates foot-shock-induced post-traumatic stress disorder and restores normal corticosterone levels in mice[11].
