  • Title: Membrane activity, antioxidant, antiaggregatory and antihemolytic properties of four calcium channel blockers.
    Author: Robak J, Duniec Z.
    Journal: Pharmacol Res Commun; 1986 Dec; 18(12):1107-17. PubMed ID: 3562505.
    Abstract:
    Four calcium channel blockers: nifedipine, fendiline, verapamil and diltiazem have been found to possess different affinity to cytomembranes of platelets and erythrocytes. Nifedipine bound to proteins of the external site of cytomembranes. Verapamil and fendiline possessed affinity to lipids of the cytoplasmic site of the cytomembranes. Diltiazem bound practically neither to erythrocyte nor to platelet membranes. All tested compounds were antioxidants, the strongest being fendiline. Antiaggregatory and antihemolytic properties of tested compounds were roughly correlated with their membrane activity.
