AMLODIPINE BESYLATE

Product Description

AMLODIPINE BESYLATE

Amlodipine Besylate is a chemical compound that is regarded as a long-acting calcium channel blocker dihydropyridine (DHP) class]. It is used as an antihypertensive to treat angina pectoris. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the smooth muscle in the arterial wall, lowering total peripheral resistance and hence lowering blood pressure. It enhances blood flow to the heart muscle in angina (although DHP-class calcium channel blockers are more selective for arteries in comparison to myocardium, as the cardiac calcium channels are not of the dihydropyridine-type). 

NAME :- AMLODIPINE BESYLATE

IUPAC NAME :- 3-Ethyl 5-methyl (4RS)-2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1,4- dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate benzenesulphonate.

CAS NO. :- 111470-99-6

FORMULA :- C₂₆H₃₁ClN₂O₈S

SYNONYMS :- 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine benzenesulfonate

APPLICATION :- Antihypertensive

DESCRIPTION :- Amlodipine Besylate chemical compound is a long-acting calcium channel blockerdihydropyridine (DHP) class] used as an antihypertensive and in the treatment of angina pectoris. Like other calcium channel blockers, amlodipine acts by relaxing the smooth muscle in the arterial wall, decreasing total peripheral resistance and hence reducing blood pressure; in angina, it increases blood flow to the heart muscle (although DHP-class calcium channel blockers are more selective for arteries than myocardium, as the cardiac calcium channels are not of the dihydropyridine-type).
