OXIDIZED NIFEDIPINE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Dehydro nifedipine is an active metabolite of nifedipine , a calcium channel blocker present in formulations used to treat hypertension and angina. Dehydro nifedipine is formed when nifedipine is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isomers CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Dehydro nifedipine inhibits glucose uptake in PC-12 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 130 μM.

Chemical Properties

Pale Yellow Solid

Uses

Oxidized nifedipine has been used for apoptotic signaling studies in dopaminergic neurons.

Uses

The main Nifedipine metabolite in human plasma

Definition

ChEBI: Dehydronifedipine is a phenylpyridine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CYP3A4 nifedipine metabolite. Nifedipine (parent compound) is an antianginal and antihypertensive agent.
