Application

Nimodipine has been used:
  • as a L-type calcium channel (LTCC) inhibitor, to evaluate its neuroprotective activity in the vibrosections[1]
  • as a standard, in the enantioseparation of chiral drugs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)[2]
  • in the pharmacological studies for the measurement of spine voltage escape[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nimodipine enhances the survival of dopaminergic substantia nigra neurons.[1]
Nimodipine is a potent L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist.

NMDA-type glutamate receptors mediate both trophic and excitotoxic signalling in CNS neurons. We have previously shown that blocking NMDAR- post-synaptic density-95 (PSD95) interactions provides significant protection from excitotoxicity and in vivo ischaemia; however, the mechanism of neuroprotection is unclear.
