Ca2+ channels are voltage-gated ion present in the membrane of most excitable cells. The nomenclature for Ca2+channels was proposed by [131] and approved NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on [72]. Most form hetero-oligomeric complexes. α1 subunit is pore-forming provides binding site(s) practically all agonists antagonists. 10 cloned α1-subunits can be grouped into three families: (1) high-voltage activat...

Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors. Calcium channel blockers belong to cardiovascular medicine and administrated to treatment of hypertension, angina and cardiac arrhythmia because of vasodilatory...

Under mechanical milling conditions, direct reductive benzylizations of malononitrile and 4-methylaniline by aromatic aldehydes were achieved using a Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine as the reductant.

Cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels are multisubunit complexes composed of alpha 1C, alpha 2 delta, and beta 2 subunits. We tested the roles of these subunits in forming a functional complex by characterizing the effects of subunit composition on dihydropyridine binding, its allosteric regulation, and the ability of dihydropyridines to inhibit channel activity. Transfection of COS.M6 cells with cardia...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review goals of antihypertensive treatment in chronic kidney disease in the context of what role calcium antagonists play toward reducing progression of kidney disease. RECENT FINDINGS All recently published guidelines recommend a blood pressure goal of less than 130/80 mmHg in patients with chronic kidney disease. Use of calcium antagonists is not recommended as part of ...

reactions of 1 ,zdihydropyridines (la-c) and 1,4-dihydropyridines (2a-c) in the presence of benzyne (3) under thermal conditions, and in the case of (2c) under photochemical conditions, have been investigated. benzyne acts as an oxidizing agent to convert dihydropyridine (la) and (2a) to the corresponding pyridine (4) or adds as a dienophile to (lb-c).

Recent studies have indicated that 1, 4-dihydropyridine-3, 5-dicarboxamidederivativesshow significant anti-tubercular activity. In this research, new derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine were designed and synthesized using Hantzsch condensation in which dicyclohexyl and different dicyclohexylcarbamoylwere substituted at C-3 and C-5 positions of the DHP ring.In addition, 4 (5)-chloro-2-methyl-5 (...
