钙通道抑制剂;Calcium Channel Inhibitors;;InformationEfonidipine Efonidipine (NZ-105) is an L- and T-type calcium channel blocker leading to vasodilation and decreased automaticity of the heart. It also suppresses aldosterone secretion from the adrenal.TargetsT-type calcium channelIn vitroAlthough efonidipine is not a specific T-type calcium channe (TTCC) blocker as it could also block L-type calcium channe (LTCC), its efficacy in blocking TTCC is much greater than that of LTCC. Efonidipine exerts an inhibitory effect on aldosterone synthesis and secretion in a human adrenocortical cell line (H295R), an effect that is mediated, at least in part, by suppression of 11-β-hydroxylase and aldosterone synthase expression. Efonidipine also suppresses both Ang II- and K+-induced aldosterone secretion, but it blocks the latter at much lower concentrations than the former.In vivoEfonidipine could provide broader beneficial effects including the heart, liver, and plasma, and antioxidant in iron-overload condition in both WT(muβ+⁄+) and HT(muβth-3 ⁄+,) mice.Cell Research(from reference)Cell lines:The NCI-H295R human adrenocortical cell line (H295) Concentrations:0.3 μM and 3 μM Incubation Time:24 h
