nitrendipine and Drug Withdrawal Symptoms

nitrendipine has been researched along with Drug Withdrawal Symptoms in 21 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 effects of the calcium channel blocking agent, nitrendipine, were studied on seizures in mice produced during withdrawal from chronic benzodiazepine treatment and on the development of tolerance to benzodiazepines."7.68Nitrendipine decreases benzodiazepine withdrawal seizures but not the development of benzodiazepine tolerance or withdrawal signs. ( Bowhay, AR; Dolin, SJ; Little, HJ; Patch, TL; Rabbani, M; Siarey, RJ, 1990)
" Thirty untreated male patients with WHO stage I essential hypertension (mean age 43 +/- 6 years) were randomly allocated to oxprenolol or nitrendipine groups."5.05Predictors of blood pressure increases after withdrawal of antihypertensive therapy. ( Neus, H; Neus, J; Rüddel, H; Schmieder, RE; von Eiff, AW, 1985)
" Acute nitrendipine significantly increased the latency of seizures in response to the partial benzodiazepine inverse agonist FG7142 during barbiturate withdrawal, but there was no effect on the seizure incidence in response to bicuculline."3.69Dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels and barbiturate tolerance and withdrawal. ( Brown, J; Butterworth, AR; Little, HJ; Rabbani, M, 1994)
" The effects of the calcium channel blocking agent, nitrendipine, were studied on seizures in mice produced during withdrawal from chronic benzodiazepine treatment and on the development of tolerance to benzodiazepines."3.68Nitrendipine decreases benzodiazepine withdrawal seizures but not the development of benzodiazepine tolerance or withdrawal signs. ( Bowhay, AR; Dolin, SJ; Little, HJ; Patch, TL; Rabbani, M; Siarey, RJ, 1990)
"L-type calcium channel blockers block hyperalgesia during ethanol withdrawal and may mediate, at least in part, the antinociceptive effects of chronic ethanol."1.31Nitrendipine blocks the nociceptive effects of chronically administered ethanol. ( Gatch, MB, 2002)
"When nitrendipine was added to the perfusate at concentrations between 10(-10) and 10(-6) M, hearts from ethanol-dependent animals showed a greater sensitivity to the effects of the drug on heart rate and systolic pressure."1.30Effects of prolonged exposure to ethanol in vivo on functional parameters and sensitivity to nitrendipine in the isolated rat heart. ( Guppy, LJ; Littleton, JM, 1999)
"Felodipine was approximately 10 times more potent than nitrendipine."1.29The differential effects of felodipine and nitrendipine on cerebral dihydropyridine binding ex vivo and the ethanol withdrawal syndrome in mice. ( Cross, AJ; Green, AR; Little, HJ; Misra, A; Watson, WP, 1994)
"Nitrendipine was effective when given for two weeks but not after only two days' treatment."1.28Chronic dihydropyridine treatment can reverse the behavioural consequences of and prevent adaptations to, chronic ethanol treatment. ( Butterworth, AR; Dolin, SJ; Little, HJ; Patch, TL; Siarey, RJ; Whittington, MA, 1991)
"Mice which were withdrawal seizure prone showed a markedly greater severity of the ethanol-withdrawal syndrome, and also showed a significantly greater up-regulation of binding sites for [3H]nitrendipine with no significant difference in binding affinity."1.28Genetic regulation of dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels in brain may determine susceptibility to physical dependence on alcohol. ( Brennan, CH; Crabbe, J; Littleton, JM, 1990)
"Nifedipine treatment abolished the signs of abstinence and normalized the hot-plate latencies in morphine-dependent, naloxone-treated rats."1.28Cortical dihydropyridine binding sites and a behavioral syndrome in morphine-abstinent rats. ( Antkiewicz-Michaluk, L; Michaluk, J; Romańska, I; Vetulani, J, 1990)
"Verapamil significantly decreased seizure incidence and both it and flunarizine lowered mortality."1.27Calcium channel antagonists decrease the ethanol withdrawal syndrome. ( Dolin, SJ; Halsey, MJ; Little, HJ, 1986)
