Nimodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist which has been shown to dilate cerebral arterioles and increase cerebral blood flow in animals and humans. It has potential in the treatment of a range of cerebrovascular disorders. Major interest to date, however, has focused on its use in the prevention and treatment of the delayed ischaemic neurological deficits that frequently occur in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhages as a result of sustained cerebral vasospasm. Nimodipine, a Ca2+ antagonist with cerebrovasodilatory and anti-ischemic effects, binds to rat, guinea pig, and human brain membranes with high affinity (less than 1 nM). Only at higher concentrations has nimodipine been reported to block the release of some neurotransmitters and hormones from neuronal tissue.

Conditions:
Clevidipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. Clevidipine is marketed under the trade name Cleviprex, indicated for the reduction of blood pressure (BP) when oral therapy is not feasible or not desirable. Clevidipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker. L-type calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium during depolarization in arterial smooth muscle. Experiments in anesthetized rats and dogs show that clevidipine reduces mean arterial blood pressure by decreasing systemic vascular resistance. Clevidipine does not reduce cardiac filling pressure (pre-load), confirming lack of effects on the venous capacitance vessels.

Conditions:
Nisoldipine is a 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative with an outstanding vascular selectivity. As a specific calcium antagonist, it shortens the action potential and causes electromechanical uncoupling in ventricular myocardium. However, this effect, resulting in a negative inotropic action, appears at 100–1000 times higher concentrations of nisoldipine in comparison with its inhibition of calcium-dependent vascular contractions. Detailed analyses of pharmacological effects revealed additional properties such as enhancement of sodium excretion, an interaction with the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system and a protective effect against acute renal ischaemia, that may contribute to its therapeutic efficacy. Nisoldipine was developed at Bayer then licensed to Zeneca and marketed in the United States as SULAR. SULAR is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of nisoldipine is complex. It involves a decrease of the total peripheral vascular resistance (reduction of afterload) and an increase in coronary blood flow. Moreover, nisoldipine obviously normalises the impaired volume homoeostasis by improving renal function and thus reduces the need for activation of the ANP system. In the advanced stages of hypertension, nisoldipine prevents deleterious calcium overload and the resulting tissue damage.

Diltiazem is a nondihydropyridines calcium channel blocker used in the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, and some types of arrhythmia. Diltiazem produces its antihypertensive effect primarily by relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and the resultant decrease in peripheral vascular resistance.
