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]
