Efonidipine (NZ-105) hydrochloride is an orally active dual L-type and T-type calcium channel blocker (CCB) with IC50 values of 1.8 and 350 nM, respectively. Efonidipine hydrochloride inhibits SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Efonidipine hydrochloride modulates adrenal steroidogenesis by increasing the expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), dbcAMP-or angiotensin II-induced StAR mRNA expression and DHEA-S production, while suppressing the biosynthesis of aldosterone and cortisol. Efonidipine hydrochloride reduces plasma aldosterone levels in vivo. Efonidipine hydrochloride improves cardiac function in heart failure models by inhibiting T-type calcium channels (via both tonic and use-dependent blockade), independently of blood pressure reduction. Efonidipine hydrochloride can be used for research in hypertension, heart failure, and disorders involving dysregulated steroid hormone synthesis[1][2][3][4][5].
