Nimodipine
Chemical Name: 1,4-Dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid 2-methyloxyethyl 1-methylethyl ester
Purity: ≥99%
Biological Activity
Nimodipine is a L-type Ca2+ channel blocker. Induces autophagy. Nimodipine is modulating pericytes and other inflammation signals like Hypoxia and leukocyte stalling to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer�s disease. Nimodipine reduces pericytes and other inflammation signals like hypoxia and leukocyte stalling and improves cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease model mice.Technical Data
