Synthesis and activities of a thienyl dihydropyridine series on intracellular calcium in a rat pituitary cell line (GH3/B6)
摘要:
The synthesis of a thienyl dihydropyridine series according to the Hantzsch method is described. The influence of these derivatives on intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) in GH3 cells was evaluated in vitro using spectrofluorimetry with indol as Ca2+ fluorescent probe. We compared their effects on [Ca2+]i and hormone release with those of nifedipine. The most active tested compounds on [Ca2+]i were those methylated on the 3-position of the thienyl ring (activity was about 75% of nifedipine). Interestingly, the most efficient compounds on [Ca2+]i were also the most efficient on hormone release.
