Leech P neurons possess caffeine-sensitive ion channels in intracellular Ca(2+) stores and in the plasma membrane. The following results indicate that these channels are also activated by 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrosophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (NTP), the photoproduct of the L-type Ca(2+) channel-blocker nifedipine:

A method for the determination of 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2'-nitrosophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid dimethylester in nifedipine (bulk material and pharmaceutical formulations) by second-derivative ultraviolet spectrophotometry is described. The procedure is simple and rapid and gives accurate and precise results.

Nifedipine [1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic+ ++ acid dimethyl ester] and nimodipine [1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic+ ++ acid 2-methoxyethyl 1-methylethyl ester], incorporated into diheptanoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes, which were used as a drug carrier system, slightly inhibited lipid peroxidation (induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide and Fe2+) in rat heart homogenate.
