Lacidipine is a long-acting calcium antagonist that is used in the management of hypertension.
Lacidipine is a long-acting calcium antagonist that is used in the management of hypertension. Lacidipine is a L-type Ca(2+) channel blocker belonging to 1,4-dihydropyridine class. Also, Lacidipine inhibits ryanodine receptors on the ER membrane that enhances folding, trafficking and lysosomal activity of ERAD (ER-associated degradation) misfolded lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GS).

The cardiovascular drug lacidipine (Lc) is known to possess antibacterial activity. Further potentiation of action is possible by synergism between Lc and an antibiotic or a non-antibiotic. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics, Lc and other non-antibiotics were detected
In this study, the effects of lacidipine (LAC), ramipril (RAM), and valsartan (VAL) on biochemical and histopathologic changes in heart tissue were studied in rats with isoproterenol-induced (ISO-induced) myocardial infarction (MI). LAC, RAM, and VAL had been administered via oral
The sense of smell plays an important role in the maintenance of a good quality of life. Disturbances of olfactory sense include complete or partial loss of smell, distortion of smell, and perceived smell in the absence of real stimuli.

The present study was planned to evaluate the effects of lacidipine on STZ induced diabetic neuropathy. Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic neuropathy in rats was monitored by measuring blood sugar levels, motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV), nociception and histopathology of tibial
