devapamil
Sign in to saveAlso known as 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-isopropyl-5-((m-methoxyphenethyl)methylamino)valeronitrile, 5-(N-(3-methoxyphenethyl)-N-methylamino)-2-isopropyl-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pentanenitrile
Devapamil is a calcium channel blocker. It is also known as desmethoxyverapamil, which is a phenylalkylamine (PAA) derivative. Devapamil not only inhibits by blocking the calcium gated channels, but also by depolarizing the membrane during the sodium-potassium exchanges.

Devapamil is a calcium channel blocker. It is also known as desmethoxyverapamil, which is a phenylalkylamine (PAA) derivative. Devapamil not only inhibits by blocking the calcium gated channels, but also by depolarizing the membrane during the sodium-potassium exchanges.
== Structure == Devapamil consists of two aromatic rings with methoxy substituents connected by an alkylamine chain increasing flexibility and overall potency.
