Nilvadipine ( INN ) is a calcium antagonist , this is a dihydropyridine derivative. This drug acts as an antihypertensive agent and has a longer duration of action compared to nifedipine .
Type and duration of the effect
Nilvadipine is used as an antihypertensive agent. According to other studies, it also lowers total cholesterol and LDL levels , while HDL levels increase. Long-term studies have shown that it can also reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
Nilvadipine can increase cardiac volume and pulmonary artery pressure in heart failure. If angina pectoris is present, it increases the coronal blood flow and reduces oxygen consumption.
The effect lasts 24 hours and thus two to three times longer than nifedipine. The half-life in the body is 15 to 20 hours.
Absorption and distribution in the body
The nilvadipine administered orally to the body is chemically converted in the liver so that less than 0.3% of the ingested substance is found in the excretions. 70 to 80% of the resulting products are passed through the kidneys into the urine, the rest is excreted in the stool .
Stereochemistry
Nilvadipine contains a stereocenter and is therefore chiral . There are two enantiomeric forms, ( R ) -form and ( S ) -form. However, only the racemate , i.e. a 1: 1 mixture of the ( R ) -enantiomer and the ( S ) -enantiomer, has practical significance :
