Biological Activity

Description Nimodipine (BAY E 9736) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker and an autophagy inhibitor, used in the treatment of high blood pressure.
Targets
Calcium channel [1]
In vitro Nimodipine decreases both the peak amplitude and the integrated area of the AHP in an age- and concentration-dependent manner. Nimodipine (100 nM) significantly reduces the AHP in aging CA1 neurons. Nimodipine increases excitability in an age- and concentration-dependent manner by decreasing spike frequency accommodation (increasing the number of action potentials during prolonged depolarizing current injection). Nimodipine decreases accommodation only at higher concentrations in young CA1 neurons. [1] Nimodipine decreases the plateau phase of the calcium AP at concentrations as low as 100 nM in aging neurons and 10 mM in young rat neurons. [2]
In vivo Nimodipine results in reversible, dose-related suppression of the compound action potential of the auditory nerve (CAP; N1-P1), a prolongation of N1 latency at suprathreshold levels, an elevated CAP threshold, a decrease in N1 latency at a constant amplitude measured at CAP threshold, a reduction in cochlear microphonics (CM), and a reduction of the negative summating potential (SP) to a point where it becomes positive. [3] Nimodipine (10 mg/kg, SC), an L-type dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel antagonist, appears to completely block the establishment of conditioning of cocaine's effects, but only partially blocks sensitization to cocaine. [4] Nimodipine (5-20 mg/kg, SC) inhibits in a dose-related manner self-administration both of cocaine and morphine contingent upon a nose-poke response. [5]
