Isradipine blocks calcium entry through calcium ion channels in coronary and peripheral vascular smooth muscle, dilating coronary arteries and peripheral arterioles. This action increases oxygen delivery by enhancing blood flow and decreases oxygen requirements by reducing total peripheral resistance.

Zolmitriptan (311C90) selectively binds to and activates serotonin (5-HT) 1B receptors expressed in intracranial arteries and 5-HT 1D receptors located on peripheral trigeminal sensory nerve terminals in the meninges and central terminals in brainstem sensory nuclei. Zolmitriptan is a member of the triptan class of agents with anti-migraine properties. Receptor binding results in constriction of cranial vessels, reduction of vessel pulsation and inhibition of nociceptive transmission, thereby providing relief of migraine headaches. Zolmitriptan may also relieve migraine headaches by inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release.

Nifedipine (Procardia) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocking agent. Nifedipine inhibits the transmembrane influx of extracellular calcium ions into myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cells, causing dilatation of the main coronary and systemic arteries and decreasing myocardial contractility. This agent also inhibits the drug efflux pump P-glycoprotein which is overexpressed in some multi-drug resistant tumors and may improve the efficacy of some antineoplastic agents.

Nicardipine hydrochloride (YC-93 Hydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt form of nicardipine, a synthetic derivative of nitrophenyl-pyridine and potent calcium channel blocker, Nicardipine (Nifedipine Family) blocks calcium ions from certain cell walls and inhibits contraction of coronary and peripheral arteries, resulting in lowered oxygen requirements for heart muscle and decreased arterial contraction and spasm. It is used clinically as a cerebral and coronary vasodilator.

Xanthinol Nicotinate (Complamin) is a potent vasodilator that can easily enter the cell and causes an increase in glucose metabolism resulting in an increased energy.

Tanshinone IIA sulfonate sodium (Tanshinone IIA sodium sulfonate) is a water-soluble derivative of tanshinone IIA extracted from Savia miltiorrhiza; a potent negative allosteric modulator of the human purinergic receptor P2X7. Tanshinone IIA sulfonate sodium (12.5 μM) inhibits hypoxia-induced PKG and PPAR-γ downregulation in PASMCs and distal pulmonary arteries of rats.

Pinacidil (P 1134) is a guanidine that opens potassium channels and directly dilates peripheral blood vessels in small arteries, lowering blood pressure and peripheral resistance and producing fluid retention.

3',4'-Dihydroxyflavonol (DiOHF) is an effective antioxidant that reduces superoxide levels and improves nitric oxide (NO) function in the mesenteric arteries of diabetic rats[1].

PRX-08066, a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT2BR, IC50= 3.4 nM) antagonist, induces selective vasodilation of pulmonary arteries.

Tixadil is a compound used to dilate coronary arteries and possesses sedative properties.

FENETRADIL is a chemical compound utilized for the dilation of coronary arteries.

MBCQ is an inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE5.

TAS-301, an inhibitor of smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, inhibits intimal thickening after balloon injury to rat carotid arteries.

RA-2 is a pan-negative-gating modulator of KCa2/3 channels that acts by inhibiting EDH-type relaxation in coronary arteries.

SKA-111 is a selective calcium-activated potassium phannel (potassium phannel ) KCa3.1 activator that induces membrane hyperpolarization in porcine endothelial cells.SKA-111 binds to the interface between the CaM N-valve and the S4-S5 junction and ameliorates Bradykinin-induced dilation of coronary arteries in the isolated rat heart, which can be used for the study of cardiovascular diseases. study of cardiovascular diseases.

Angiopeptin is a synthetic octapeptide analog of somatostatin; suppresses accelerated transplant atherosclerosis in rabbit heart arteries.

Tilisolol is a nonselective blocker of beta-adrenergic. Tilisolol hydrochloride dilates coronary arteries through an ATP-sensitive K(+)-channel opening mechanism in dogs.

Arachidonic acid is metabolized in the vascular endothelium to epoxytrienoic acids (EETs or EpETrEs) by cytochrome P450 enzymes. The EETs are released in response to acetylcholine, bradykinin, arachidonic acid, or cyclic stretch. (±)14(15)-EET-SI is the methyl sulfonamide analog of 14(15)-EET. This substitution results in a metabolically more stable compound because it is not sensitive to β-oxidation or membrane esterification. (±)14(15)-EET-SI is equipotent to 14(15)-EET in vascular agonist activity as measured by relaxation of precontracted bovine coronary arteries. In addition, 14(15)-EET and the methyl sulfonamide analog both stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation and induce mitogenesis in renal epithelial cells.

(±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide is an ω-3 endocannabinoid epoxide and cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonist (EC50s = 108 and 280 nM for CB1 and CB2, respectively). It is produced through direct epoxygenation of docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases. (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide (25 μM) reduces the viability of 143B metastatic osteosarcoma cells. It decreases the production of IL-6 and increases the production of IL-10 when used at concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 10 μM in BV-2 microglia stimulated by LPS and decreases LPS-induced cytotoxicity when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 10 μM. It also decreases nitrite production when used at a concentration of 7.5 μM, an effect that can be partially reversed by the CB2 receptor antagonist AM630 and the PPARγ antagonist GW 9662 . (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide induces vasodilation of isolated preconstricted bovine coronary arteries (ED50 = 1.9 μM) and reduces tube formation by human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) in a Matrigel assay.
