Nitrendipine Usage And Synthesis

Description

Nitrendipine is a vasodilating, dihydropyridine calcium antagonist. Its prolonged therapeutic effect in comparison to nifedipine makes it useful in the once to twice daily treatment of hypertension.

Chemical Properties

Crystalline Solid

Originator

Bayer (W. Germany)

Uses

Nitrendipine modulates NMDA receptor channel function in mammalian neurons. Nitrendipine has been shown to inhibit neutrophil adhesion to vascular endothelium. It is used in the treatment of primary hypertension to decrease blood pressure. Nitrendipine is used alone or with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, to treat hypertension, chronic stable angina pectoris, and Prinzmetal's variant angina.

Uses

Antihypertensive;Calcium channel blocker

Uses

Nitrendipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. Nitrendipine is used in the treatment of primary (essential) hypertension to decrease blood pressure. Antihypertensive.

Definition

ChEBI: A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a 3-nitrophenyl group at position 4, a ethoxycarbonyl group at position 3 and a methoxycarbonyl group at position 5. It is a calcium-channel blocker used in t e treatment of hypertension.

brand name

Baypress (Bayer);BAYOTENSIN.

General Description

Nitrendipine, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinecarboxylic acid methyl ethylester (Baypress), is a second-generation dihydropyridinechannel blocker of the nifedipine type. It is more selectivefor vascular smooth muscle than for myocardial tissue andserves as an effective vasodilator. The drug is used in thetreatment of mild-to-moderate essential hypertension.

Biological Activity

L-type calcium channel blocker.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ca2+ channel blocker; anti-hypertensive.

storage

Store at RT
