Product Data
Biological target:
Diphenidol hydrochloride (Difenidol hydrochloride) is a non-selective muscarinic M1-M4 receptor antagonist, has anti-arrhythmic activity. Diphenidol hydrochloride is also a potent non-specific blocker of voltage-gated ion channels (Na+, K+, and Ca2+) in neuronal cells.
In vitro activity:
Electrophysiological experiments were performed to study ion channel activities in two neuronal cell lines, namely, neuroblastoma N2A cells and differentiated NG108-15 cells. Diphenidol inhibited voltage-gated K(+) channels and Ca(2+) channels, but did not affect store-operated Ca(2+) channels. Reference: Pharmacol Rep. 2012;64(3):739-44. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22814027/
In vivo activity:
In dogs, i.v. difenidol preferentially enhanced vertebral over femoral arterial blood flow. Phenylephrine and potassium induced contraction of dog vertebral arterial rings, and difenidol inhibited this action. In addition, the L-type calcium channel blocker nifedipine, like difenidol, attenuated the potassium-induced contraction. These findings suggest that the difenidol-induced increase in vertebral arterial blood flow may be due to vascular relaxation mediated by mixed blocking actions at α(1)-adrenoceptors and voltage-gated calcium channel Ca(v)1.2.
