Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	calcium channel ^[1]
In vitro	Nifedipine causes a significant concentration-dependent increase in eNOS protein expression by cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells. ^[1] This compound antagonizes L-type Ca+ channels found throughout the cardiovascular system, but also blocks Kv channels, which are members of the same supergene family. ^[2] It dose-dependently decreases the values of [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation and total cellular protein content as well as the levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) 1/2, and even the phosphorylation of Pyk2, in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). This chemical suppresses the levels of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) dose-dependently in both VSMC and balloon-injured thoracic aortae in VSMC. ^[3]
In vivo	Nifedipine (3 mg/kg) slightly lowers the level of systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure or increased the heart rate in rats. ^[3] This compound (1 μm) produces a maximal inhibition of the store-operated pathway in choroidal arteriolar smooth muscle. ^[4] This chemical (20 and 40 mg/kg) markedly prevents the HCl plus ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury and the increase in the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in the injured mucosa in rats. It (20 and 40 mg/kg) dose-dependently promotes the ulcer healing and inhibites the increase in the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in the ulcerated mucosa in rats. ^[5]
