Description
Lacidipine is a second-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, introduced as a once-a-day treatment for mild to moderate hypertension. It exhibits high selectivity for vascular smooth muscle and has a long duration of action. Lacidipine is also being investigated for its potential as an antiatherosclerotic agent.
Uses
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Lacidipine is used as an antihypertensive agent for treating mild to moderate hypertension. It functions as a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, which helps in reducing blood pressure by relaxing the vascular smooth muscle.
Used in Cardiovascular Research:
Lacidipine is used as a research compound for studying its effects on isolated rat aorta, rabbit ear artery, rat colon and bladder, and guinea pig trachea. It induces relaxation in these tissues by inhibiting calcium-induced contractions.
Used in Hypertension Treatment:
Lacidipine is used as an antihypertensive medication in the treatment of high blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats and renal hypertensive dogs. It reduces mean blood pressure with a transient increase in heart rate.
Used in Atherosclerosis Research:
Lacidipine is used as an agent for investigating its potential in reducing the extension of aortic atheromatous lesions and decreasing renal injury in ApoE-/mice in a model of Western diet-induced atherosclerosis.
Used in Antioxidant Studies:
Lacidipine is used in research to study its ability to inhibit copper-induced oxidation of isolated human LDL at concentrations of 1 and 5 μM.
Chemical Properties:
Lacidipine is a white-to-off-white crystalline solid.
Brand Names:
Lacidipine is marketed under the brand names Lacipil, Lacirex, and Viapres.
Originator
Glaxo (United Kingdom)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lacidipine is a long-acting calcium antagonist that is used in the management of hypertension. Lacidipine is a L-type Ca(2+) channel blocker belonging to 1,4-dihydropyridine class. Also, Lacidipine inhibits ryanodine receptors on the ER membrane that enhances folding, trafficking and lysosomal activity of ERAD (ER-associated degradation) misfolded lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GS).

Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Aminophylline and theophylline: possibly increased
aminophylline and theophylline concentration.
Anaesthetics: enhanced hypotensive effect.
Antibacterials: metabolism possibly inhibited by
clarithromycin, erythromycin and telithromycin.
Antidepressants: enhanced hypotensive effect with
MAOIs.
Antiepileptics: effect possibly reduced by
carbamazepine, barbiturates, phenytoin and
primidone.
Antifungals: metabolism possibly inhibited by
itraconazole and ketoconazole; negative inotropic
effect possibly increased with itraconazole.
Antihypertensives: enhanced hypotensive effect,
increased risk of first dose hypotensive effect of postsynaptic alpha-blockers.
Antivirals: concentration possibly increased by
ritonavir.
Ciclosporin: 10 kidney transplant patients on
ciclosporin, prednisone and azathioprine were given
4 mg lacidipine daily. A very small increase in the
trough serum levels (+6%) and AUC (+14%) of the
ciclosporin occurred.
Grapefruit juice: concentration increased - avoid
concomitant use
Metabolism
Lacidipine undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism
in the liver. The drug is eliminated primarily by hepatic
metabolism (involving cytochrome P450 CYP3A4).
The principal metabolites possess little, if any,
pharmacodynamic activity.
Approximately 70% of the administered dose is
eliminated as metabolites in the faeces and the remainder
as metabolites in the urine.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 103890-78-4 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,0,3,8,9 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 103890-78:
(8*1)+(7*0)+(6*3)+(5*8)+(4*9)+(3*0)+(2*7)+(1*8)=124
124 % 10 = 4
So 103890-78-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

METHODS FOR TREATING CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
-
, (2021/03/13)
In one aspect the invention relates to a method of treatment selected from the group consisting of: (a) treating a symptom such as pain in a subject identified or diagnosed as having Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS); (b) treating a symptom such as pain in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity; (c) restoring NK cell function in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity; and (d) restoring calcium homeostasis in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity. The method comprises the step of administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one therapeutic compound selected from the group consisting of: (i) an opioid receptor antagonist; (ii) an opioid antagonist; and (iii) a therapeutic compound that restores TRPM3 ion channel activity. In some embodiments the therapeutic compound is naltrexone hydrochloride.
THERAPY FOR COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES
-
, (2009/07/02)
A method for enhancing glycemic control and/or insulin sensitivity in a human subject having diabetic nephropathy and/or metabolic syndrome comprises administering to the subject a selective endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist in a glycemic control and/or insulin sensitivity enhancing effective amount. A method for treating a complex of comorbidities in an elderly diabetic human subject comprises administering to the subject a selective ETA receptor antagonist in combination or as adjunctive therapy with at least one additional agent that is (i) other than a selective ETA receptor antagonist and (ii) effective in treatment of diabetes and/or at least one of said comorbidities other than hypertension. A therapeutic combination useful in such a method comprises a selective ETA receptor antagonist and at least one antidiabetic, anti-obesity or antidyslipidemic agent other than a selective ETA receptor antagonist.
