HIDE SMILES / InChI
Nexopamil [LU 49938] is the (S)-enantiomer of a phenylalkylamine derivative and has calcium channel blocking and serotonin2 receptor antagonist activity. Nexopamil's significant antifibrillatory effect during both coronary artery occlusion and abrupt reperfusion is reliably tracked by T-wave alternans magnitude. Because the major component of the protection could be reproduced by blockade of the L-type calcium channel with diltiazem, nexopamil's antiarrhythmic action appears to be due mainly to blockade of this channel. Nexopamil's antiplatelet action through blockade of 5-HT2 receptors may confer additional protection against reperfusion arrhythmias. Nexopamil was discontinued in phase 2 for angina pectoris in European Union.

Sample Use Guides

Thirty minutes before occlusion, pigs received nexopamil (0.1 mg/kg intravenously, i.v.)
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Nexopamil [LU 49938] inhibited contractions evoked by serotonin, norepinephrine (NE), and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) in a concentration-dependent and noncompetitive manner. The lower concentrations of LU 49938 (10(-7) and 10(-6) M) did not affect contractions to serotonin in the presence of ketanserin. However, a higher concentration of LU 49938 (10(-5) M) significantly decreased the concentration-response curve to the monoamine in the presence of ketanserin.
