“Both nifedipine and nimodipine effectively inhibited contractions induced by calcium in pial arteries pretreated in a calcium-free medium and depolarised by potassium.”
“In pial arteries the calcium antagonists nifedipine and nimodipine caused an almost complete relaxation of contractions induced by potassium at drug concentrations relaxing prostaglandin F2α-contracted vessels to only about 60%.”

“We suggest that nimodipine suppressed the firing of APs in cultured neonatal rat hippocampal neurons due to inhibition of both calcium and potassium currents.”

“In dura mater, blockade of P/Q-, N- and L-type VGCCs by ω-agatoxin TK, ω-conotoxin GVIA and nimodipine at 1 μM respectively, significantly decreased the potassium induced CGRP release.”

“The increase in potassium during ischemia and Nimodipine (calculated in change of concentration/time [dc/dt]) is significantly slower than in the control group.”
“At the highest concentration, nifedipine and nimodipine reduced the serotonin and potassium responses to an average of 19|X% and 6|X% of control response.”
