Chemical compound and disease context of Adalat

  • To assess whether vasodilator therapy reduces or delays the need for valve replacement, we randomly assigned 143 asymptomatic patients with isolated, severe aortic regurgitation and normal left ventricular systolic function to receive either nifedipine (20 mg twice daily, 69 patients) or digoxin (0.25 mg daily, 74 patients) [11].
  • Ventricular myocytes exhibit a nifedipine-sensitive inward calcium current (ICa) and contracture when they are voltage clamped from -40 to 0 millivolt in the presence of caffeine and in the absence of extracellular sodium [13].
  • Combined nitrate/beta-blocker/nifedipine therapy is commonly used to treat refractory angina pectoris [14].
  • The present study examined whether a pre- or postischemic infusion of verapamil (V) or a postischemic infusion of nifedipine (N), drugs which block calcium (Ca++) influx across plasma membranes, provides protection against ischemic acute renal failure (ARF) in dogs [15].

Associations of Adalat with other chemical compounds

  • To determine whether abnormalities of myocardial perfusion in this disorder are potentially reversible, we evaluated the effect of the coronary vasodilator nifedipine on myocardial perfusion assessed by thallium-201 scanning in 20 patients [26].
  • The L-type Ca2+ channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine inhibited NE-stimulated incorporation of [3H]leucine in myocytes and [3H]thymidine in fibroblasts, and these effects were not additive with those of ANP, SNAP, or 8-bromo-cGMP [27].
  • Increased expression of the alpha1D receptor mRNA was inhibited by the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein and the PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin but was not inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitor H7 or the L-type calcium channel blocker nifedipine [28].
  • To test the hypothesis that Nifedipine alters CHOL metabolism, thereby decreasing free and esterified CHOL accumulation in smooth muscle cells (SMC), we cultured arterial SMC from rabbits fed a normal or egg-supplemented diet for 6 mo [29].
  • Total exercise duration was longer on atenolol plus mononitrate than on atenolol alone (mean difference 46 [95% confidence interval 18-88] s; p = 0.005), atenolol plus nifedipine (36 [2-71] s; p = 0.04), or triple therapy (28 [6-61] s; not significant) [30].
