Description

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker that selectively inhibits calcium influx in cardiac and vascular smooth muscle. Acting as a vasodilator, amlodipine reduces blood pressure by relaxing the smooth muscle in the arterial wall, decreasing total peripheral resistance. It inhibits calcium-induced contractions in depolarized rat aorta with an IC50value of 1.9 nM, displaying a slow rate of association and dissociation in isolated vascular and cardiac tissues. Amlodipine also demonstrates actions independent of L-type calcium channel blockade by regulating membrane fluidity and cholesterol deposition, stimulating nitric oxide production, acting as an antioxidant, and regulating matrix depositionin vitroandin vivo. Formulations containing amlodipine have been used in the treatment of hypertension.

Amlodipine was first patented in 1982 but approved as a prescription drug in 1990. Amlodipine is in the form of salt, the available salt forms are besilat, mesilate, and maleate. Amlodipine is an approved drug used to treat high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. Amlodipine is also sold under the brand name Norvasc. It was evaluated against diuretics in the treatment of hypertension and was found to be useful in controlling arterial pressure. In 2023, it was the fifth most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 68 million prescriptions.
