DrugBank Accession Number
DB01115
Background

Nifedipine, or BAY a 1040, is a first generation dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker, similar to nicardipine.3,10,11,13 Nifedipine was developed by Bayer and first described in the literature, along with other dihydropyridines, in 1972.11,12 Since nifedipine's development, second and third generation dihydropyridines have been developed with slower onsets and longer durations of action.10 The most popular of the third generation dihydropyridines is amlodipine.10

Nifedipine was granted FDA approval on 31 December 1981.13

Pharmacodynamics

Nifedipine is an inhibitor of L-type voltage gated calcium channels that reduces blood pressure and increases oxygen supply to the heart.1 Immediate release nifedipine's duration of action requires dosing 3 times daily.13 Nifedipine dosing is generally 10-120mg daily.13 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of excessive hypotension, angina, and myocardial infarction.13

Mechanism of action

Nifedipine blocks voltage gated L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle and myocardial cells.1 This blockage prevents the entry of calcium ions into cells during depolarization, reducing peripheral arterial vascular resistance and dilating coronary arteries.1 These actions reduce blood pressure and increase the supply of oxygen to the heart, alleviating angina.1

Absorption

Sublingual dosing leads to a Cmax of 10ng/mL, with a Tmax of 50min, and an AUC of 25ng*h/mL.9 Oral dosing leads to a Cmax of 82ng/mL, with a Tmax of 28min, and an AUC of 152ng*h/mL.9

Nifedipine is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System Class II drug, meaning it has low solubility and high intestinal permeability.8 It is almost completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract but has a bioavilability of 45-68%, partly due to first pass metabolism.3,8

Volume of distribution

The steady state volume of distribution of nifedipine is 0.62-0.77L/kg and the volume of distribution of the central compartment is 0.25-0.29L/kg.3

Protein binding

Nifedipine is 92-98% protein bound in serum.13 Nifedipine is 97±12% bound in a 40g/L solution of pure albumin.2 Nifedipine is 51.4±5.9% protein bound in a 50mg/100mL solution of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, and 75.5±3.5% protein bound in a 150mg/mL solution.2

Metabolism

Nifedipine is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4.1,8,13,14,15 Nifedipine is predominantly metabolized to 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-methoxycarbonyl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, and then further metabolized to 2-hydroxymethyl-pyridine carboxylic acid.6 Nifedipine is also minorly metabolized to dehydronifedipine.7

Route of elimination

Nifedipine is 60-80% recovered in the urine as inactive water soluble metabolites, and the rest is eliminated in the feces as metabolites.14

Half-life

The terminal elimination half life of nifedipine is approximately 2 hours.3,8

Clearance

The total body clearance of nifedipine is 450-700mL/min.3

Toxicity

The oral LD50 in rats is 1022mg/kg and in mice is 202mg/kg.16

Patients experiencing an overdose may present with hypotension, sinus node dysfunction, atrioventricular node dysfunction, and reflex tachycardia.4,5 Overdose may be managed by monitoring cardiovascular and respiratory function; elevating extremities; and administering vasopressors, fluids, and calcium infusions.13

DrugInteraction
AbacavirAbacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Nifedipine which could result in a higher serum level.
AbaloparatideThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Nifedipine is combined with Abaloparatide.
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Nifedipine can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Nifedipine can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbirateroneThe serum concentration of Nifedipine can be increased when it is combined with Abiraterone.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid excessive or chronic alcohol consumption.
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit down-regulates post-translational expression of CYP3A4, the major metabolizing enzyme of nifedipine. Grapefruit, in all forms (e.g. whole fruit, juice and rind), can significantly increase serum levels of nifedipine and may cause toxicity. Avoid grapefruit products while on this medication.
  • Avoid natural licorice.
  • Take with or without food.
