Biological Activity

Nimodipine is a L-type Ca2+ channel blocker. Induces autophagy. Nimodipine is modulating pericytes and other inflammation signals like Hypoxia and leukocyte stalling to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer�s disease. Nimodipine reduces pericytes and other inflammation signals like hypoxia and leukocyte stalling and improves cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease model mice.
