Amlodipine

Felodipine

Nimodipine

Dihydropyridine is a molecule based upon pyridine, and the parent of a class of molecules that have been semi-saturated with two substituents replacing one double bond. They are particularly well known in pharmacology as L-type calcium channel blockers.

Examples include:

• Amlodipine
• Felodipine
• Nicardipine
• Nifedipine
• Nimodipine

Others are Amlodipine, aranidipine, azelnidipine, barnidipine, benidipine, cilnidipine, clevidipine, cronidipine, darodipine, dexniguldipine, efonidipine, elnadipine, elgodipine, Felodipine, flordipine, furnidipine, iganidipine, Isradipine, lacidipine, lemildipine, Lercanidipine, manidipine, mesuldipine, Nicardipine, Nifedipine, niguldipine, Nimodipine, niludipine, nilvadipine, nimodipine, nisoldipine, Nitrendipine, olradipine, oxodipine, palonidipine, pranidipine, sagandipine, sornidipine, teludipine, tiamdipine, trombodipine, watanidipine.
