Cilnidipine-d7

Cilnidipine-d7 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of cilnidipine (Item No. 26080) by GC- or LC-MS. Cilnidipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that blocks L- and N-type high-voltage-activated calcium currents in rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons when used at a concentration of 10 μM.1 Cilnidipine (3 mg/kg) reduces the pressor response to acute cold stress, as well as mean blood pressure, in spontaneously hypertensive rats.2 It dose-dependently reduces mean blood pressure and cerebral vascular resistance without affecting cerebral blood flow in anesthetized rats at doses ranging from 3-100 μg/kg.3 Cilnidipine (100 μg/kg, i.p.) reduces cerebral infarction area in a rat model of focal brain ischemia.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
