nitrendipine and ALS - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

nitrendipine has been researched along with ALS - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 1 studies

Nitrendipine: A calcium channel blocker with marked vasodilator action. It is an effective antihypertensive agent and differs from other calcium channel blockers in that it does not reduce glomerular filtration rate and is mildly natriuretic, rather than sodium retentive.
nitrendipine : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a 3-nitrophenyl group at position 4, a ethoxycarbonyl group at position 3 and a methoxycarbonyl group at position 5. It is a calcium-channel blocker used in the treatment of hypertension.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The aim of this work was to further investigate the effect of sera from sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients on miniature end-plate potentials (MEPP) frequency, by the mouse passive transfer model, and to study whether the transferred serum induces any change in the sensitivity of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCC) to its specific blocker Nitrendipine."3.71Effect of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum on calcium channels related to spontaneous acetylcholine release.
