Lacidipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker.1 It induces relaxation of isolated rat aorta and inhibits calcium-induced contraction of rabbit ear artery (pA2 = 9.4). It also induces relaxation of calcium-induced contractions in isolated rat colon and bladder and guinea pig trachea (IC50s = 6.7, 6, and 7.8 nM, respectively). Lacidipine induces negative inotropy in isolated guinea pig ventricular strips (IC50 = 110 nM). It reduces mean blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (ED25 = 0.35 mg/kg) and in renal hypertensive dogs (ED25 = 0.22 mg/kg) with a transient increase in heart rate. Lacidipine inhibits copper-induced oxidation of isolated human LDL when used at concentrations of 1 and 5 µM.2 It reduces the extension of aortic atheromatous lesions and decreases renal injury in ApoE-/- mice in a model of Western diet-induced atherosclerosis.3
