Cilnidipine (formerly also known as FRC-8653; FRC8653; Atelec; Cinalong; Siscard) is a novel, potent and unique dual L-type and N-type calcium channel blocker (CCB) that was approved as an anti-hypertensive drug in 1995 for high blood pressure treatment. Cilnidipine lowers mean blood pressure and reduces the size of cerebral infarction in the rat model of focal brain ischemia. Cilnidipine has displayed renal and vascular protective effects and improved baroreflex sensitivity in patients with hypertension. It has also demonstrated neuroprotective effects in a rat focal brain ischemia model by removing free radicals and activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway.
ln Vitro |
In neurons pretreated with omegaCgTx plus omegaAgTx, celidipine inhibits the L-type current with an IC50 of 100 nM[1]. Cilnidipine's IC50 with regard to the N-type current is 200 nM[1]. With an IC50 of 10 nM at 10 min, clinidipine dose- and time-dependently inhibits the contractions of rat aortic rings caused by depolarization and Ca2+[2]. When exposed to more than 200 μM of Cilnidipine, the viability of nPC12 cells decreases slightly, but does not change significantly up to 150 μM of the drug[3]. After two hours of treatment at 100 μM, cilnidipine increases the expression of p85aPI3K, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, and heat shock transcription factor (HSTF-1), while cytosolic cytochrome c, activated caspase 3, and cleaved PARP levels decrease[3].

ln Vivo |
In rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, cilnidipine has strong inhibitory effects on both L-type and N-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels[1]. The use of 10 mg/kg of cilnidipine and 10 mg/kg of nicodipine greatly reduces the behavioral abnormalities brought on by immobilization stress, restores deficit memories, and normalizes corticosterone levels[4]. Both nicodipine and clonidipine have similar positive effects on immobilized mice under stress[4]. In 2K1C renal hypertensive dogs, oral Cilnidipine (3 mg/kg) significantly reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure one hour after administration[5].

Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay
Cell Types: Neuronally differentiated PC12 (nPC12) cells Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μM Incubation Duration: Treated for 2 hrs (hours); cell viability was measured after 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Cell viability was not affected by low concentrations up to 150 μM, but it was slightly diminished at 200 μM. Western Blot Analysis Cell Types: nPC12 cells Tested Concentrations: 100 μM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Increased the IRs of p58a PI3K, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, and HSTF-1 and diminished the Immunoreactivities (IRs) of cytosolic cytochrome c, activated caspase 3 (17 kDa), and cleaved PARP (85 kDa). |
Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Swiss albino mice weighing 25±5 g[4]
Doses: 5 and 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: administered ip 30 min prior to immobilization stress Experimental Results: Cilnidipine (10 mg/kg, ip) and nimodipine (10 mg/kg, ip) 30 min prior to subjecting immobilization stress resulted in significant attenuation of immobilization stress-induced decrease in locomotor activity. Administration with Cilnidipine (5 mg /kg, ip) and Nimodipine (5 mg/kg, ip) did not show any significant effect on the stressed mice. Administration of Cilnidipine (10 mg/kg, ip) and Nimodipine (10 mg/kg, ip) in the non -stressed mice, and vehicle in the stressed mice did not modulate locomotor activity in a significant manner. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
