Formula	C18H19Cl2NO4	M. Wt	384.25

Description	Felodipine significantly relaxes KCl-contracted porcine coronary segments by blocking the Ca2+ channels, displaying ~50 times more potent than nifedipine (IC50 of ~8 nM) and ~430 times than verapamil (IC50 of ~65 nM). [1] Felodipine significantly induces the transcription and secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 with ED50 values of 5.8 nM and 5.3 nM in primary human VSMC and lung fibroblasts, respectively, while propranolol or furosemide fails to affect the expression of the two IL genes. Felodipine blocks the muscarinic receptor-mediated (carbachol) Ca2+-dependent contraction of guinea pig ileum longitudinal smooth muscle (GPILSM) with an IC50 of 1.45 nM. Felodipine at low concentration of 0.1 μM is sufficient to increases NOx generation, Ca2+-dependent NOS activity, and eNOS protein mass in rat endothelial cells.Felodipine (10 μM) reduces nuclear translocation of p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase and Elk-1 activation stimulated by PDGF-BB, leading to the inhibition of human SMC prolifera
Pathways	Ion Channel/Membrane Transporter
Targets	Calcium Channel
