nimodipine and Central Nervous System Disease

nimodipine has been researched along with Central Nervous System Disease in 6 studies

Nimodipine: A calcium channel blockader with preferential cerebrovascular activity. It has marked cerebrovascular dilating effects and lowers blood pressure.
nimodipine : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a (2-methoxyethoxy)carbonyl group at position 3, a m-nitrophenyl group at position 4, and an isopropoxycarbonyl group at position 5. An L-type calcium channel blocker, it acts particularly on cerebral circulation, and is used both orally and intravenously for the prevention and treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Nimodipine has no consistent effect on brain oxygen consumption or cortical ATP or phosphocreatine levels, although the ischemia-induced fall of brain ATP levels in gerbils or the lowering of intracellular brain pH in rabbits with focal cerebral ischemia were antagonized by the drug."2.38Pharmacological basis for the use of nimodipine in central nervous system disorders. ( Schuurman, T; Scriabine, A; Traber, J, 1989)
"Nimodipine (Nimotop) was administered to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) in order to investigate its ameliorative effect on central nervous disorders associated with hypertension."1.27Effect of nimodipine on brightness discrimination learning test in Wistar Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats. ( Nomura, M, 1988)
