Dehydro Azelnidipine (CAS 918659-10-6)

Dehydro Azelnidipine, a derivative of the dihydropyridine class of calcium channel blockers, is distinguished by its unique chemical structure which contributes to its mechanism of action focused on inhibiting L-type calcium channels. This compound, by targeting these channels, plays a pivotal role in modulating calcium ion influx across cell membranes, particularly in cardiovascular research. Its mechanism involves the stabilization of the channel in its inactive state, leading to a decrease in intracellular calcium levels. This action is for understanding the regulation of vascular smooth muscle contraction and cardiac muscle function, making Dehydro Azelnidipine useful in experimental studies aimed at elucidating the pathways of cardiovascular diseases and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Its specific chemical configuration and the resultant biological activity highlight its importance in research applications, where it serves as a molecular probe to dissect the complex mechanisms underlying calcium-dependent processes in cells.
