Updates on Intrinsic Medicinal Chemistry of 1,4-dihydropyridines, Perspectives on Synthesis and Pharmacokinetics of Novel 1,4-dihydropyrimidines as Calcium Channel Blockers: Clinical Pharmacology.

Background: Several chemical studies described the physiological efficacy of 1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs). DHPs bind to specific sites on the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels, where they demonstrate a more pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle compared to myocardial tissue. This selective inhibition is the basis for their preferential vasodilatory action on peripheral and coronary arteries, a characteristic that underlies their therapeutic utility in managing hypertension and angina.

Introduction: Sepsis, like neutropenic sepsis, is a medical condition in which our body overreacts to infectious agents. It is associated with damage to normal tissues and organs by the immune system, which leads to the spread of inflammation throughout our body. Of note, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to have a critical role in the sepsis progression.

Curr Vasc Pharmacol

Department of Cardiology, Ippokrateio University Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Introduction/objective: Emotional, mental, or psychological distress, defined as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress, is common in patients with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).
Methods: Literature was reviewed regarding data from studies and meta-analyses examining the impact of emotional stress on the occurrence and outcome of several CVDs (coronary disease, heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke). These influences' pathophysiology and clinical spectrum are detailed, tabulated, and pictorially illustrated.
Atrial Fibrillation-Related Bradycardia and/or Bradycardia-Related Atrial Fibrillation: When and How to Intervene.
Curr Vasc Pharmacol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Athens University School of Medicine, Athens, Greece.
Introduction/objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) could present with slow ventricular-response; bradycardia could facilitate the emergence of AF. The conviction that one "does not succumb" from bradycardia as an escape rhythm will emerge unless one sustains a fatal injury following syncope is in stark difference with ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VA), which may promptly cause cardiac arrest. However, this is not always the case, as a life-threatening situation may emerge during the bradycardic episode, i.

Curr Cancer Drug Targets

Division of Pharmacology, Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, Kolkata, 700114, India.
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has fundamentally transformed cancer treat-ment by unlocking the potency of CD8+ T cells by targeting the suppression of the CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 pathways. Nevertheless, ICBs are associated with the risk of severe side effects and resistance in certain patients, driving the search for novel and safer immune check-point modulators. Monoamine Oxidase A (MAO-A) plays an unexpected role in the field of cancer.
