Applications

Syk inhibitor & Ca2+ channel blocker

Functions

A novel DHP L-type Ca2+ channel blocker that also inhibits Syk. Blocks Aβ production, APPβ secretion and reduces BACE-1 expression in CHO cells over-expressing Aβ in vitro. Enhances clearance of Aβ across the blood brain barrier in vivo. Reduces brain Aβ levels in a mouse tauopathy model. Clinically useful antihypertensive agent. Has been shown to prevent cognitive decline in some clinical trials. Produces a protective effect on glutamate neurotoxicity in retinal ganglion cells, an effect not shared by other L-type Ca2+ channel blockers such as nifedipine and diltiazem.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 25 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 15 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.

Research use only.
