Dihydropyridine

Dihydropyridine (DHP) is a molecule based upon pyridine, and the parent of a class of molecules that have been semi-saturated with two substituents replacing one double bond. They are particularly well known in pharmacology as L-type calcium channel blockers, used in the treatment of hypertension. Compared with certain other L-type calcium channel blockers (for example those of the phenylalkylamine class such as verapamil) that have significant action at the heart, they are relatively vascular selective in their mechanism of action in lowering blood pressure.

The pharmaceutical drug finerenone is also a dihydrophyridine derivative, but does not act as a calcium channel blocker but as an antimineralocorticoid.

gollark: So it's 1/10 * 1/10 = 1/100.
gollark: The probability of two independent events both occurring is the probabilities of each multiplied together.
gollark: I think the axioms are satisfied fine if you just remove all numbers except 0.
gollark: `(= (lim x 0 (/x x)) 1)` ← definitely very* readable and certainly much easier to parse.
gollark: It isn't simple. Rendering code for it is gigantic.
