NP 252 Usage And Synthesis
Description
NP-252 is a calcium channel antagonist potentially for the treatment of angina pectoris and congestive heart failure. The vasoinhibitory effects of NP-252 were significantly stronger than those of nifedipine in canine cerebral artery. NP-252 (10(-7) and 10(-6) M) dose-dependently attenuated nifedipine-resistant Ca(++)-contraction in the presence of STA2 in both canine cerebral and coronary arteries. The inhibitory effect of combined treatment with NP-252 (10(-6) M) and nitroglycerin (10(-6) M) on nifedipine-resistant Ca(++)-contraction in the cerebral artery was additive. In aorta, only NP-252 reduced total La3+ resistant 45Ca binding. However, the increases in bound 45Ca at La3+ resistant sites and 45Ca unidirectional influx due to KCl were inhibited by both NP-252 and nifedipine.
