(S)-Amlodipine Besylate

SKU: orb1218766

Description

Levamlodipine, also known as S-amlodipine, is a pharmacologically active enantiomer of amlodipine, an antihypertensive and anti-anginal medication. Levamlodipine belongs to the dihydropyridine group of calcium channel blockers. The names S-amlodipine and levamlodipine may be used interchangeably as both substances are the same, however, with differing nomenclature. As a racemic mixture, amlodipine contains (R) and (S)-amlodipine isomers, but only (S)-amlodipine as the active moiety possesses therapeutic activity.
