Dihydropyridine class calcium channel blocker (CCB) that exerits its antihypertensive activity via targeting both L-type and T-type calcium channels.
Manidipine is a dihydropyridine class calcium channel blocker (CCB) that exerits its antihypertensive activity via targeting both L-type and T-type calcium channels. In contrary to other dihydropyridines and non-dihydropyridines that mainly act as L-type CCBs, Manidipine diminishes glomerular pressure and, consequently, albumin excretion via its action against T-type channels of efferent arterioles in addition to promoting afferent arteriole dilation by blocking L-type channels. Clinically, Manidipine is as effective in lowering blood pressure as other dihydropyridines, while only Manidipine significantly reduces albuminuria and insulin resistance with less adverse effects. In obese and hypertensive individuals, Manidipine is more effective than Lercanidipine in reducing insulin resistance, while Nifedipine treatment is reported to increase insulin desensitisation.

Effects of CV-4093, a newly synthesized dihydropiridine type of Ca antagonist, on membrane currents in enzymatically dispersed single smooth muscle cells of the rabbit main pulmonary artery were investigated using the single electrode voltage clamp method. Three types of membrane
In AMANDHA trial, the addition of manidipine, but not amlodipine, in diabetic patients with uncontrolled hypertension, microalbuminuria and preserved renal function resulted in a large decrease of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) despite similar blood pressure (BP) reductions. Factors associated with

The effects of CV-4093, a new dihydropyridine derivative, on isolated cardiovascular tissues were compared with those of several dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists. CV-4093 effectively inhibited the contractions induced in canine femoral arteries by high [K+]0 and Bay K 8644

The calcium-channel blocking action of franidipine (CV-4093.2HCl) was investigated in vitro and in vivo. CV-4093.2HCl inhibited the 60 mM K+-induced contraction of rabbit aorta and those of coronary, renal, mesenteric and femoral arteries of dog less potently than nifedipine and
Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors should be considered as the first-line therapy in the treatment of patients with hypertension and diabetes. However, most of the diabetic subjects with hypertension require at least two drugs to achieve blood pressure targets. The ACCOMPLISH trial
