N-desmethyl Diltiazem is an active metabolite of the calcium channel inhibitor diltiazem.1 It is formed from diltiazem by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7.2 N-desmethyl Diltiazem binds to isolated rat cerebral cortex homogenates (IC50 = 323 nM) and inhibits spontaneous contractions in isolated rat portal veins (IC50 = 489 nM).1 It has been found as a contaminant in fresh water.3
