Influence of pHo on calcium channel block by amlodipine, a charged dihydropyridine compound. Implications for location of the dihydropyridine receptor
We have investigated the modulation of L-type calcium channel currents in isolated ventricular cells by the dihydropyridine derivative amlodipine, a weak base with a pKa of 8.6. Under conditions that favor neutral drug molecules, amlodipine block resembles other, previously described, neutral dihydr...
