How It Works

Blocks voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels, inhibiting calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.

Mechanism Steps

1Benidipine binds to L-type calcium channels on vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells.

2Inhibition of calcium influx prevents calcium-dependent contraction.

3Vascular smooth muscle relaxation leads to vasodilation and decreased peripheral vascular resistance.
