Benidipine, a long-acting calcium channel blocker, inhibits cardiac remodeling in pressure-overloaded mice.
OBJECTIVE The effects of long-acting calcium channel blockers (CCBs) on pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling are seldom studied in animals. We evaluated the effects of benidipine, a long-acting CCB, on cardiac remodeling. METHODS Rat neonatal cardiac myocytes were used to examine the influence of benidipine on protein synthesis. Cardiac remodeling was induced in C57 B6/J mice by trans...
متن کاملUp-regulation of muscle uncoupling protein 3 gene expression by calcium channel blocker, benidipine hydrochloride in rats.
To examine whether benidipine hydrochloride, one of the calcium channel blockers, up-regulate uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) expression in two skeletal muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) in rats. Wistar rats were treated orally with benidipine hydrochloride at 4 mg/kg for 7 days. Blood pressure was measured after 4 days. At the end of experiments, the rats were weighed, and brown adipose tissue (B...
متن کاملEvaluation of Mutagenicity of Mebudipine, a New Calcium Channel Blocker
Mebudipine is a new dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, synthesized in our laboratory, for treatment of hypertension. It has shown a better efficacy than other drugs in this group. For assessing the risks of this drug, certain safety tests in the preclinical stage have been performed. In this study mutagenic effect of mebudipine was evaluated using Ames assay that could assess the mutageni...

Calcium-channel blockers (CCB) were first developed in the 1960s. Since then, the list of formulations and variety of uses has increased significantly. Unfortunately, toxic exposures to CCBs have also increased since their debut. This ...
