Dehydro Felodipine is a chemical compound that functions as a calcium channel blocker. It inhibits the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells, leading to relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle and vasodilation. Dehydro Felodipine targets L-type calcium channels, blocking the entry of calcium ions into the cells. By doing so, it reduces the contractility of smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels, resulting in a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. This mechanism of action ultimately leads to a reduction in blood pressure. At the molecular level, Dehydro Felodipine binds to the alpha-1 subunit of the L-type calcium channel, preventing the channel from opening and inhibiting the influx of calcium ions. This interaction with the calcium channel alters the membrane potential and intracellular calcium concentration, leading to the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.
