Cildip

Clinidipine INN

Description: Cilnidipine is a 4" generation Calcium channel blocker. It is vaso selective and has a weak direct dromotropic effect, a strong vasodepressor effect and an arrhythmia inhibiting effect

Mode of action: Cinidipine is a Cal channel blocker with a dual L & N-type Ca channel-blocking action The L-type calcium channel blockade by ciinidipine affects predominantly vascular smooth muscle, thereby producing vasodilation of peripheral resistance vessels and coronary arteries. The blockade of N-type Ca channels effectively suppresses neurohormonal regulation in the cardiovascular system, including sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Thus, cinidipine can reduce various types of complications of hypertension as well as cardiovascular diseases.

Pharmacokinetics: Cinidipine has a good oral absorption and a long time of action. After oral

administration, drug concentrations reaches peak level at 1.8 to 2.2 h and show a long half-life of 7.5 h

Cinidipine was rapidly metabolized in human liver microsomes and dehydrogenation of dihydropyridine

ring of cinidipine is crucial for the elimination of cinidipine. Cytochrome P450 3A(CYP3A) is the major

human CYP involved in the dehydrogenation of dihydropyridine ring of citnidipino.
