Nilvadipine (2-Cyano-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic Acid 3-Methyl 5-(1-Methylethyl) Ester, FR-34235, SKF-102362, Escor)

Used as an antihypertensive and antianginal. Nilvadipine is prescribed for patients with both hypertension and chronic major cerebral artery occlusion. In hypertensive patients with high risk of atherosclerosis, nilvadipine may protect LDL cholesterol from in vivo oxidation. Nilvadipine reduces infarction foci, improves cerebral microcirculation, but does not affect the systemic arterial blood pressure. Pathohistochemical studies have revealed that the volume of the infarction in the middle cerebral artery occlusion model could be decreased by nilvadipine. Although it is a dihydropyridine derivative, nilvadipine has several kinetic, dynamic, and therapeutic effects that are different from even those of the other voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blockers belonging to the same class. Nilvadipine could easily be transmitted to the central nervous system. Moreover, vascular smooth muscles contracted by potassium were reported to be inhibited by nilvadipine. It antagonizes both L- and T-type Ca2+ channels and exerts an antioxidant effect that is reported to be greater than the effects of nimodipine, nicardipine, and amlodipine. It has also been reported that nilvadipine (but not amlodipine) increased striatal dopamine and DOPAC contents and protected against motor deficits in mice.

Small volumes of Nilvadipine biochemical vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
