| Mechanism 1 | Antihypertensive agent |
Antihypertensive agent Calcium channel unspecific Blocker |
|||||||
| Key Mechanism Factor 1 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | Calcium channel beta subunit family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Regulatory subunit of L-type calcium channels (PubMed:1309651, PubMed:8107964, PubMed:15615847). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1A as pore-forming subunit (By similarity). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1C as pore-forming subunit and increases the presence of the channel complex at the cell membrane (PubMed:15615847). Required for functional expression L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1D as pore-forming subunit (PubMed:1309651). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1B as pore-forming subunit (PubMed:8107964).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | If medically feasible, antihypertensive medications should be interrupted 24 hours prior to amifostine administration. Blood pressure should be closely monitored during and after treatment. In addition to hypotension, transient hypertension or exacerbation of preexisting hypertension may occur from intravenous hydration, discontinuation of antihypertensive medications, or other causes. Patients who continue their hypotensive medication(s) during amifostine therapy should be carefully monitored for the development of hypotension. | ||||||||
