Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate (Standard)

Efonidipine (NZ-105) hydrochloride monoethanolate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate (HY-12502AR). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Efonidipine (NZ-105) hydrochloride monoethanolate is an orally active dual L-type and T-type calcium channel blocker (CCB) with IC₅₀ values of 1.8 and 350 nM, respectively. Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate inhibits SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate modulates adrenal steroidogenesis by increasing the expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), dbcAMP-or angiotensin II-induced StAR mRNA expression and DHEA-S production, while suppressing the biosynthesis of aldosterone and cortisol. Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate reduces plasma aldosterone levels in vivo. Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate improves cardiac function in heart failure models by inhibiting T-type calcium channels (via both tonic and use-dependent blockade), independently of blood pressure reduction. Efonidipine hydrochloride monoethanolate can be used for research in hypertension, heart failure, and disorders involving dysregulated steroid hormone synthesis.
