Amlodipine besylate, 98+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

An L-type calcium channel antagonist with potent antioxidant activity

Amlodipine besylate is used as a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It is also used as an antianginal and antihypertensive. Amlodipine besylate also displays vasoprotective effects in cardiovascular disease and inhibits Ca2+-induced contractions in depolarized rat aorta (IC50 = 1.9 nM). Amlodipine besylate has been shown to inhibit proliferation of human vascular smooth muscle cells and epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
