Overview

Information

Amlodipine Amlodipine (UK-48340) is a long-acting calcium channel blocker, used to lower blood pressure and prevent chest pain.
In vitro

Amlodipine causes a dose-dependent increase in nitrite production. Amlodipine also increases nitrite production in large coronary arteries and in aorta. Amlodipine is attributed to distinct membrane physico-chemical interactions. Amlodipine contributes to distinct membrane biophysical interactions that lead to potent lipid antioxidant effects, independent of calcium channel modulation. Amlodipine increases plaque smooth muscle cell content (P<0.05), whereas atenolol decreases plaque inflammation. Amlodipine attenuates intracellular neuronal Ca²⁺ increases elicited by KCl depolarization but does not affect Ca²⁺ changes triggered by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation. Amlodipine also inhibits free radical-induced damage to lipid constituents of the membrane in a dose-dependent manner, independent of Ca²⁺ channel modulation.

In vivo

Amlodipine results in regression of cardiovascular hypertrophy and amelioration of endothelial dysfunction in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Amlodipine significantly reduces aortic hypertrophy, endothelial dysfunction, LOX-1 expression, aortic O(2)(-) and ONOO(-) production, and plasma free 8-F(2)alpha-isoprostane levels in Ang II-infused rats. Amlodipine has antihypertensive and antioxidant activity in vivo, which effectively inhibits many of the oxidative stress-dependent mechanisms involved in Ang II-mediated cardiovascular injury.
