a series of 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers bearing 1-(4-x -benzyl)-5-imidazolyl substituent at 4 position (5a-e) (x=h, f) were synthesized and tested for antihypertensive activity in desoxycorticosterone acetate (doca)-induced hypertension in rats. amlodipine was used as the standard dihydropyridine. all compounds tested showed lower antihypertensive activity than that of amlodipi...

New analogues of nifedipine, as a known calcium channel blocker, were synthesized by replacing the orthonitrophenyl group on position 4 with 1-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl or 2-methylthio-1-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl substituent. Effects of the new synthesized compounds on blood pressure were studied at 15, 30 and 60 min after administration by indirect tail-cuff method and compared with nife...

objective(s): investigation of acute effect on cellular bioenergetics provides the opportunity to characterize the possible adverse effects of drugs more comprehensively. this study aimed to investigate the changes in biochemical and biophysical properties of heart mitochondria induced by captopril and nifedipine antihypertensive treatment. materials and methods: male, 12-week-old wistar rats i...

the present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effect of antihypertensive drugs on aortic atherogenesis in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. in enalapril and nifedipine treated rabbits aortic atherosclerotic plaque involvement was significantly decreased (p<0. oland p

     Colocasia esculenta Linn (CE) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. Hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of CE leaves (AECE) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins...
