title: The design of (-)-(S)-2-nitrooxyethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl) pyridine-5-carboxylate: a cardioselective positive inotropic derivative of Bay K 8644.
abstract: The title compound, (-)-(S)-9, is a novel cardioselective calcium channel modulator that exhibits a calcium channel agonist effect on heart, a weak calcium channel antagonist effect on smooth muscle, and releases nitric oxide in vitro. (-)-(S)-9 is a useful lead-compound for the design of positive inotropic agents to treat congestive heart failure, and to study the structure-function relationship of calcium channel modulation.
