Product Description

Nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia, Bay-1040, BAY-a-1040; Cordipin, Corinfar, Bay 1040) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) with antihypertensive effects. It has been used to lower blood pressure and to treat angina, Raynaud's phenomenon, and premature labor. Nifedipine targets L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels. Nifedipine is a vasodilator that is selective for inotropic over chronotropic cardiac effects. Nifedipine causes a significant concentration-dependent increase in eNOS protein expression by cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells. Nifedipine antagonizes L-type Ca+ channels found throughout the cardiovascular system, but also blocks Kv channels, which are members of the same supergene family.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
There are no significant differences in viability between the control cells and the cells treated with 100 μM of FAC or 1 and 10 μM of nifedipine. Nifedipine (BAY-a-1040) (1, 10, or 100 μM) significantly increases the iron level in WKPT-0293 Cl.2 cells. Nifedipine (BAY-a-1040) (10 or 100 μM) significantly lowers the viability of the WKPT-0293 Cl.2 Cells. Treatment of nifedipine (10 or 100 μM) plus FAC induces a significant reduction in cell viability. In WKPT-0293 Cl.2 cells, nifedipine treatment also upregulates the expression of TfR1, DMT1+IRE, and DMT1-IRE. Furthermore, co-administration of 100 μM nifedipine and 100 μM FAC results in upregulation of TfR1, DMT1+IRE, and DMT1-IRE expression in WKPT-0293 Cl.2 cells[2]. In the midrange of concentrations, nifedipine plus ritodrine significantly inhibits contractility more than either medication alone. A considerably higher inhibition is produced by nifedipine plus atosiban or nitroglycerin combined than by either drug alone, but not by nifedipine plus atosiban. The inhibitory effect of each drug is lessened when nifedipine and NS-1619 (Ca2+-activated K+ [BKCa] channel opener) are taken together[3]. At 2 μM, nifedipine (BAY-a-1040) dramatically suppresses the growth and sporulation of P. capsici mycelial cells. Calcium is required for the inhibition of mycelial growth caused by nifedipine (BAY-a-1040). P. capsici's sensitivity to H2O2 is increased by nifedipine (0.5 μM) in a calcium-dependent way[4].
ln Vivo
At the conclusion of the fourth week, the BL dimensions (BLi and BLk), MD dimensions (MDk), and vertical dimensions (VHi and VHk) of rats treated with Nifedipine (BAY-a-1040) (50 mg/kg) and CsA show a significant (P < 0.05) increase[1].
Animal Protocol
All the 30 rats are randomLy distributed into three equal groups of ten animals each. Group 1 (control) receive olive oil for the 8 weeks. Group 2 and Group 3 receive a combination of CsA (30 mg/kg body weight) and Nf (50 mg/kg body weight) in olive oil for 8 weeks. In Group 3 rats, Azi (10 mg/kg body weight) is added to this regimen, in the 5th week. The total study period is 8 weeks.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:69 mg/mL (199.2 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:15 mg/mL (43.3 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.22 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.5775 mL 2.8874 mL 5.7748 mL
10 mM 0.2887 mL 1.4437 mL 2.8874 mL

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
