Cat. No.: HY-14744 Purity: 98.06%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Levamlodipine ((S)-Amlodipine; Levoamlodipin) is an orally active L-type calcium channel blocker and MMP-9 modulator with high permeability and retention properties. Levamlodipine significantly enhances plaque stability and improves lipid profiles by reducing blood pressure, decreasing systolic blood pressure variability, and inhibiting MMP-9 expression in atherosclerotic plaques. Levamlodipine not only alleviates cardiac and aortic hypertrophy and prevents renal atrophy, but also produces synergistic effects in blood pressure reduction and organ protection when combined with bisoprolol (HY-129029). Levamlodipine exerts no significant inhibitory effect on abdominal aortic intimal hyperplasia. When excessively accumulated in the epidermis, Levamlodipine may induce changes in keratin structure, impair the skin barrier and trigger inflammation; long-term use further exacerbates skin irritation caused by local administration. Levamlodipine can be used in research related to hypertension and atherosclerosis.

In Vitro

Levamlodipine-Sorbic acid (HY-N0626) ion pair patches (13-15% (w/w) LAM-SA, 10% (w/w) IPM; 72 h) maintain equivalent porcine skin permeability to free levamlodipine patches, and addition of 10% IPM significantly enhances permeability; the optimized 13% LAM-SA, 10% IPM, 70 μm patch achieves high, predictable transdermal delivery over 72 h[3].

In Vivo

Levamlodipine (2.5 mg/d; intragastric administration; once daily; for 8 consecutive weeks) exerts no significant inhibitory effect on intimal hyperplasia after balloon-induced endothelial injury of the abdominal aorta in rabbits, but it can improve plaque stability by reducing the expression of MMP-9 in plaques. Meanwhile, the serum LDL-C level shows a decreasing trend, while the serum TNF-α level increases significantly[1].
Levamlodipine (1-4 mg/kg; intragastric administration; single dose; 1 mg/kg/day; p.o.; daily; 16 weeks) reduces blood pressure in male SHR in a dose-dependent manner[2].
The ion-pair transdermal patch of Levamlodipine and sorbic acid (HY-N0626) (12-15% w/w; transdermal administration; single dose; 72 h) significantly reduces skin irritation in rabbits. Compared with non-ion-pair levamlodipine patches, it shows a lower erythema index, milder epidermal thickening, and faster skin recovery[3].

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

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.
