Supports KW-3049 development as long-acting vasculoselective calcium antagonist; animal in vitro data leave clinical translation open.
KW-3049 is a potent, vasculoselective calcium antagonist with a long duration of action in vitro due to slow dissociation from vascular tissue.
Karasawa et al. (1988) studied this question.
