Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Azelnidipine, also known as CS 905 and CCRIS 8650, is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It is sold in Japan by Daiichi-Sankyo pharmaceuticals, Inc. Unlike nicardipine, it has a gradual onset and has a long-lasting hypotensive effect, with little increase in heart rate.

Biological target:
Azelnidipine(CS 905; Calblock) is a novel dihydropyridine derivative, a L-type calcium channel blocker, and an antihypertensive.
In vitro activity:
THP-1 cells were incubated in culture medium in the absence or presence of 10 µM azelnidipine for 24 h (Fig. 1A). In the absence of azelnidipine, most floating THP-1 cells adhered to the culture dish after stimulation with PMA. In contrast, in the presence of azelnidipine, the number of attached THP-1 cells decreased. The ratio of floating cells to total cells increased from 0.24 to 0.49 (Fig. 1B). To investigate the dose dependency and time course, 0, 1, 10, or 30 µM of azelnidipine were used for up to 4 days. The most effective concentration to prevent adherence of PMA treated THP-1 cells was 10 µM; besides treatment of 30 µM azelnidipine and 50 ng/mL PMA caused cell deaths (Fig. 1C). Azelnidipine was still effective for THP-1 differentiation into macrophage-like morphology extended incubation. Those cells treated with azelnidipine remained round shaped even on day 4 compared with the cells not treated with azelnidipine that showed astrocytic or spider shape (Fig. 1D). Although stimulation with PMA increased the expressions of Apo E (A), MMP9 (B), and LOX-1 (C) mRNA, incubation with azelnidipine for 48 h decreased these expressions by PMA significantly in THP-1 cells (Fig. 2). Azelnidipine inhibited the increase in the uptake of acetylated LDL by THP-1 cells 48, 72, and 96 h after stimulation with PMA. Azelnidipine also reduced the expression of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 (Fig. 4A) and LOX-1 (Fig. 4B). To investigate the signaling pathway, phosphorylation of MAP kinases was investigated (Fig. 4C). The activation of p38 and JNK were decreased by azelnidipine treatment.

In vivo activity:
This study was designed to examine the effect of long-acting calcium channel blocker (CCB), Azelnidipine (AZL) on contractile dysfunction, intracellular calcium (Ca2+) cycling proteins, stress-activated signaling molecules and apoptosis on cardiomyocytes in diabetes. Adult male Wistar rats were made diabetic by a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection of streptozotocin (STZ). STZ-induced diabetic animals showed stable signs of diabetes, including hyperglycemia, reduced levels of insulin. Also there was a noted increase heart/body weight ratio (H/BW). Diabetic rats treated with AZL showed improvement in these physiological parameters. AZL treatment completely abolished the diabetes-induced abnormalities of PS, TPS and TR90 (Figure 1A-D). The maximal velocities of shortening (+dl/dt) and relengthening (-dl/dt) were significantly reduced by diabetes and AZL treatment restored the diabetes-induced dysfunction (Figure1A and 1B). Furthermore, 12-weeks of AZL treatment significantly ablated intracellular Ca2+ abnormalities in STZ treated diabetic rats. Consistent with its response in cardiomyocyte shortening, AZL treatment improved diabetes induced changes in Ca2+ homeostasis including elevated resting intracellular Ca2+ levels, depressed intracellular Ca2+ rise in response to electrical stimuli and prolonged intracellular Ca2+ decay (Figure 2 A-C). AZL in this study not only improves cardiac contractile function but also offers protection against oxidative stress, apoptosis and ultimately leading diabetic cardiomyopathy.
