General description

A derivative of papaverine that blocks Ca2+ channels (principally the L-type) in smooth and cardiac muscle cells. Vasodilator and antiarrhythmic agent. Inhibits the entry of Ca2+ through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in cell membranes. Blocks both activated and inactivated Ca2+ channels. An adrenergic antagonist. Induces apoptosis of human primary and metastatic colon adenocarcinoma cell lines in vitro.
A papaverine derivative that blocks Ca2+ channels (principally the L-type) in smooth and cardiac muscle cells. Vasodilator and antiarrhythmic agent. Known to reduce the renal clearance of digoxin. Induces apoptosis of human primary and metastatic colon adenocarcinoma cell lines in vitro.
