    Product Description

    (R)-(+)-BAY-K-8644 is an L-type channel blocker that has negative inotropic and vasodilatory effects at 1 μM.1,2,3 Intracerebroventricular administration of this enantiomer has no effect on motor function in mice, whereas (S)-(−)-BAY-K-8644 impairs rotarod and motor activity, an effect that is blocked by (R)-(+)-BAY-K-8644.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
