Product details
- Chemical name: (4R)-rel-1,4-Dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid 3-methyl 5-[(3R)-1-(phenylmethyl)-3-piperidinyl] ester hydrochloride.
- CAS number: 91599-74-5
- Molecular formula: C28H32N3O6Cl.
- Purity: >99% (HPLC)
- Concentration: 1-100 µM.
- Form: Lyophilized Powder
- Solubility: DMSO. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).
- Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity
- Shipping: Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.
- Target: CaV1, CaV3 Ca2+ channels
- Source: Synthetic
- Activity: Benidipine hydrochloride is a state-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker. It inhibits N-type and P/Q-type channels with IC50 of ~30 µM and is an order of magnitude more potent towards L-type channels, exhibiting the following IC50: 14 µM at -80mV and 5 µM at -60 mV holding potentials1.
Scientific background
Both L-type (CaV1) and T-type (CaV3) voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are large (~0.5 MDa), transmembrane proteins which control the cellular influx of Ca2+ in response to electrical stimuli. While CaV1s require a strong depolarization (~+40 mV) to perform, a much weaker pulse (~-40 mV) is sufficient to activate CaV3s1.Ca2+ channel blockers (CCBs) are a diverse class of pharmaceutical agents, usually targeted at CaV1s, of which dihydropyridines (DHPs) constitute a major subgroup2,3. Inhibitors of Ca2+-mediated smooth muscle contractions, CCBs produce vasodilation, thus therapeutically managing hypertension and coronary heart disease2. Additionally, benidipine is known to be an endothelium protectant as well as an antioxidant4,5.A DHP derivative, benidipine hydrochloride acts as a triple-channel (CaV1, CaV2 and CaV3) blocker and is characterized by slow onset of action and high affinity for the binding sites of its target channels4; with a Ki value of 0.08-0.13 nmol/L benidipine's cell-membrane association is considerably greater than other DHPs, and a dissociation rate which is 9 times slower than that of nifedipine makes it distinguishably long-lasting4,5.
