A water soluble voltage gated calcium channel gating inhibitor of the dihydropyridine class. In human ion channels, Isradipine has gating inhibition on Cav1.4 channels (1x10E-6 M) and Cav1.3 (3x10E-8) and in mouse ion channels a pIC50 of 6.7. Often prescribed for hypertension (trade names DynaCirc, Prescal), recent animal models suggest a use in Parkinson′s Disease.
