Question

synthesis of diltiazem
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Primarily, diltiazem inhibits the inflow of calcium ions into the cardiac smooth muscle during depolarization. Reduced intracellular calcium concentrations equate to increased smooth muscle relaxation resulting in arterial vasodilation and, therefore, decreased blood pressure.

Answer 2

Diltiazem, sold under the brand name Cardizem among others, is a calcium channel blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart arrhythmias. It may also be used in hyperthyroidism if beta blockers cannot be used.It is taken by mouth or injection into a vein.When given by injection, effects typically begin within a few minutes and last a few hours.
