Manidipine 2Hcl (CV-4093) is a dihydropyridine compound and a calcium channel blocker for Ca2+ current with IC50 of 2.6 nM. IC50 value: 2.6 nMTarget: calcium channelManidipine is described to block T-type Ca2+ channels specifically and is also described to have a high selectivity for the vasculature, presenting negligible cardiodepression as compared to other Ca2+ channel antagonists. Manidipine is also described to not significantly affect norepinephrine levels, suggesting a lack of sympathetic activation with this compound. Manidipine reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion in human endothelial cells and macrophages. Manidipine, unlike other third-generation dihydropyridine derived drugs, blocks T-type calcium channels present in the efferent glomerular arterioles, reducing intraglomerular pressure and microalbuminuria.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
