Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Nifedipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, used to lower hypertension and to treat angina.
Targets
calcium channel [1]
In vitro Nifedipine causes a significant concentration-dependent increase in eNOS protein expression by cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells. [1] Nifedipine antagonizes L-type Ca+ channels found throughout the cardiovascular system, but also blocks Kv channels, which are members of the same supergene family. [2] Nifedipine dose-dependently decreases the values of [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation and total cellular protein content as well as the levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) 1/2, and even the phosphorylation of Pyk2, in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Nifedipine suppresses the levels of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) dose-dependently in both VSMC and balloon-injured thoracic aortae in VSMC. [3]
In vivo Nifedipine (3 mg/kg) slightly lowers the level of systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure or increased the heart rate in rats. [3] Nifedipine (1 μm) produces a maximal inhibition of the store-operated pathway in choroidal arteriolar smooth muscle. [4] Nifedipine (20 and 40 mg/kg) markedly prevents the HCl plus ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury and the increase in the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in the injured mucosa in rats. Nifedipine (20 and 40 mg/kg) dose-dependently promotes the ulcer healing and inhibites the increase in the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in the ulcerated mucosa in rats. [5]
