| Description: | Manidipine dihydrochloride is a third-generation, lipophilic, orally active and highly vasoselective calcium channel antagonist (IC50 = 2.6 nM in guinea-pig ventricular cells) and acts as an antihypertensive agent. Manidipine effectively reduces blood pressure as well as improving insulin sensitivity, renal protection, and antiatherosclerotic activity. Manidipine also exerts anti-inflammatory activity mediated by NF-?B and antiviral activity against many flavivirus and negative-strand RNA viruses through the inhibition of calcium channel. Manidipine is widely applied to research of cardiovascular, metabolic disease and infection[1][2][3][4][5][6]. |
