Novel 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists. I. Synthesis and hypotensive activity of 4-(substituted pyridyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives.

Voltage-dependent calcium channels--beyond dihydropyridine antagonists.

The blockade of L-type calcium channels by dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines and benzothiazepines has been well described and forms the basis of a multibillion dollar market for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and migraine. More recently, neuron-specific calcium channels have become the subject of intense interest regarding their potential as therapeutic targets for the treatment of c...

Synthesis, Characterization and Docking studies of Some Novel Dihydropyridine Derivatives

The synthesis of a novel dihydropyridine derivatives bearing dimedone as an excellent precursor has been achieved by applying three component Hantzsch condensation. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, Mass spectra and also by C, H, N analyses. All synthesized compounds undergo docking studies and biological screening for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive ba...

A QUANTUM CHEMICAL STUDY OF STRUCTURE -ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS OF DIHYDROPYRIDINE CALCIUM ANTAGONISTS

Quantum chemical (MNDo)caleulations have beenused toelucidate the molecular properties and structure - activity relationships of dihydropyridine (DHP) type calcium antagonists. There is a good corielation between the net atomic charges on various atoms of the 4 - phenyl ring of dihydropyridines and pharmacological activity. .Also, activity decreases with increasing free rotation of the phen...

Antimicrobial Activity of Novel C2-Substituted 1,4-Dihydropyridine Analogues

The antimicrobial activity of 3-methyl-5-isopropyl (or ethyl) 6-methyl-4-nitrophenyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate derivatives was evaluated. Prokaryotes (bacteria) appeared to be more sensitive to their antimicrobial activity than were eukaryotes (filamentous fungi). The best antibacterial activity was shown by derivative 33, which was able to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium smegma...
