  <description>Nimodipine is an organic compound with the formula C21H26N2O7 and an average molecular weight of 418.44 g/mol. Nimodipine belongs to the hydropyridines, a subclass of pyridines and derivatives within the organic compounds. It functions as a biological inhibitor (PMC7589057) and acts as an agonist, antagonist, or inhibitor of ten recorded protein targets, including the mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) and voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunits alpha-1C (CACNA1C), alpha-1S (CACNA1S), and alpha-1D (CACNA1D).

In terms of health effects, nimodipine is used as a treatment for ischemic stroke (PMC11127604) and has a therapeutic effect on blood pressure (PMC5414723). It is classified as a calcium channel blocker and is administered via oral or intravenous exposure routes. Nimodipine is found in or released from ten recorded sources. These include healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products; food preservation within food, food processing, and cookware; ceilings in building and construction; and household cleaning and consumer products such as tobacco smoke filters and non-electric simulated smoking devices. Additionally, it is associated with electrical and electronic equipment, including electrodes, antennas, amplifiers, electrically stimulated smoking devices, and conductors or conductive bodies characterized by the conductive materials.</description>
