Product Description

Nilvadipine (formerly ARC-029; FR34235, FK235; ARC029; FR-34235; FK-235; Escor, Nivadil) is a potent calcium channel blocker (CCB) with potential antihypertensive activity. It has been used to treat chronic major cerebral artery occlusion and hypertension. Its IC50 is 0.03 NM, which indicates that it inhibits the calcium channel. In rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC), nilvadipine exhibits a strong chemotaxis-inhibiting effect on interleukin-1 (IL-1), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), with an IC50 of 0.1 nM. It has been observed that nilvadipine increases renal blood flow and decreases the filtration fraction in the isolated perfused kidney of a hydronephrotic patient, which may indicate afferent and efferent arteriolar vasodilation indirectly.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Calcium channel ( IC50 = 0.1 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Nilvadipine has an IC50 of 0.1 nM and significantly inhibits the chemotaxis of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), and interleukin-1 (IL-1). This was observed in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC). [1] In the isolated perfused hydronephrotic kidney, nilvadipine is reported to increase renal blood flow and decrease the filtration fraction, implying indirect afferent and efferent arteriolar vasodilation. [2]

ln Vivo
Nilvadipine retains electroretinogram responses and retinal morphology in RCS rats during the early stages of retinal degeneration. In the retina of RCS rats, nilvadipine significantly increases the expression of rhodopsin kinase and alphaA-crystallin while suppressing the expression of caspase 1 and 2.[3] In rat aortae and human middle cerebral arteries, nilvadipine totally suppresses the vasoactivity that Abeta induces. Without significantly altering the CBF of control mice, nilvadipine raises cortical perfusion levels in Tg APPsw to levels comparable to those seen in control littermates.[4] Nilvadipine suppresses mice's ischemia (20 min)-reflow (20 min)-induced paw edema (ED30: 0.4 mg/kg i.v. and 2 mg/kg p.o.). Nilvadipine suppresses paw edema caused by carrageenan (ED30:15 mg/kg in rats and 20 mg/kg in mice) with a potency comparable to ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory medication. In rats, oral dosages of 100 mg/kg of nifedipine, nicardipine, and nimodipine cause a 30% suppression. Using the lactate dehydrogenase + NADH method and the cytochrome c method, nilvadipine inhibits the production of superoxide radical (O-2), as measured by IC50 values of 90 and 100 mg/mL, respectively, from xanthine oxidase (XOD).[5]
Animal Protocol
In the present study, 3- to 5-week-old inbred RCS (rdy-/-) rats reared in cyclic light conditions (12 hours on-12 hours off) are used. Nilvadipine and Nifedipine are dissolved in a mixture of ethanol, polyethylene glycol 400, and distilled water (2:1:7) at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, diluted twice with physiological saline before use, and injected intraperitoneally (1.0 mL/kg) into anesthetized rats every day early in the morning for 2 weeks. In control rats, the same solution without Nilvadipine or Nifedipine (vehicle solution) is administered similarly. Nicardipine and Diltiazem are dissolved in PBS at 0.25 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL, respectively, and injected intraperitoneally (1 mL/kg), similarly to the other agonists. As a control, the same volume of a mixture of ethanol, polyethylene glycol 400, and distilled water (2:1:7) or PBS is administered. Before administration, the pH of all drug solutions is adjusted to approximately 7.4. The concentrations of these drugs administered to RCS rats are determined by their concentrations in oral administration to human patients with hypertension for 1 day in our clinical practice (Nilvadipine, 0.05-0.3 mg/kg; Nifedipine, 0.1-0.5 mg/kg; Nicardipine, 0.2-1 mg/kg; and Diltiazem, 0.3-3 mg/kg).

*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
