Application

Nisoldipine has been used:
  • as a hit-antagonist to study its effects on oxytocin (OT)-induced myometrial Ca2+-mobilization and its potency to dampen uterine myometrial contractions
  • as a calcium channel blocker to study its effects on cell viability in a human hepatic cancer HepG2 and rat renal epithelial NRK52E cell line
  • as a component of the external IK1 recording solution to study the action potential in human pluripotent stem cell−derived cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-type (CaV1.2) calcium channel blocker; dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blocker with selectivity for smooth muscle (CaV1.2b) over cardiac muscle (CaV1.2a). Arterial vasodilator and antihypertensive agent.

The uterine myometrium (UT-myo) is a therapeutic target for preterm labor, labor induction, and postpartum hemorrhage. Stimulation of intracellular Ca2+-release in UT-myo cells by oxytocin is a final pathway controlling myometrial contractions. The goal of this study was to develop
Nisoldipine exposures.

The non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist propiverine impairs L-type Ca(2+) currents (I(Ca,L)) in human detrusor smooth muscle cells and atrial cardiomyocytes. Here, we have investigated the effects of three metabolites of propiverine on human cardiac I(Ca,L). Propiverine reduced I(Ca)(,L) with a

This study is to explore the activation of the Ca2+/CaM/CaN signal pathway in 5-HT-induced proliferation of rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and the inhibitory effect of m-nisoldipine (m-Nis) on this pathway. PASMCs were cultured with the explant technique.

The aim of this study was to develop and characterize phospholipid bearing pellets for a poorly water-soluble drug, nisoldipine. Pellets were prepared using extrusion-spheronization technique containing microcrystalline cellulose, soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC), granulating fluid and lactose. Operational parameters such as extrusion
