amlodipine besylate, (r)

Amlodipine besylate, (R)- is a medication used to lower blood pressure and prevent chest pain.

Levamlodipine besylate ((S)-Amlodipine Besylate (103129-82-4(free base))) , also known as S-amlodipine, is a pharmacologically active enantiomer of amlodipine, an antihypertensive and anti-anginal medication. Levamlodipine besylate belongs to the dihydropyridine group of calcium channel blockers. The names S-amlodipine and levamlodipine may be used interchangeably as both substances are the same, however, with differing nomenclature. As a racemic mixture, amlodipine contains (R) and (S)-amlodipine isomers, but only (S)-amlodipine as the active moiety possesses therapeutic activity.
