Azelnidipine is a novel dihydropyridine derivative, a L-type calcium channel blocker, and an antihypertensive. Acute administration of azelnidipine prevents a sudden drop of cardiac function after acute stress. Azelnidipine may have a protective role in inflammation associated with atherosclerosis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Azelnidipine is a L-type calcium channel blocker; antihypertensive.
Azelnidipine, a novel dihydropyridine derivative, is a L-type calcium channel blocker and antihypertensive. Unlike other L-type calcium channel blockers, azelnidipine causes minimal stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system despite its significant depressor effect. Azelnidipine may have a protective role in inflammation in atherosclerosis.

We aimed to investigate the association of the change in the ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) with that in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) during treatment with antihypertensive medication. We enrolled 207 hypertensive patients treated with olmesartan monotherapy for 12
Day-by-day home blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) was reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We aimed to test the hypothesis that the angiotensin II receptor blocker/calcium-channel blocker combination decreases day-by-day BPV more than the angiotensin II receptor blocker/diuretic

It has been demonstrated that the antihypertensive drugs with the antioxidant action on the brainstem inhibit the sympathetic activity and consequently decrease blood pressure and heart rate (HR) in hypertensive rats. Combination drugs of the angiotensin receptor blocker and calcium

Vascular calcification is an active and regulated process that is similar to bone formation. While calcium channel blockers (CCBs) have been shown to improve outcomes in atherosclerotic vascular disease, it remains unknown whether CCBs have an effect on the process
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are often co-administered with a calcium channel blocker (CCB) for treating hypertension. In this open-label randomised study, untreated diabetic hypertensive patients were randomised to receive either olmesartan 20 mg/day or candesartan 8 mg/day for 12
