Felodipine is unique among the dihydropyridine calcium antagonists in that it is the most potent in relaxing porcine coronary arteries (IC 50= 1.5× 10− 10 M); it is not as sensitive to photoinactivation as nifedipine and nisoldipine, and it is fluorescent. The fluorescence of felodipine has allowed us to study many aspects of its interaction with various calcium-binding proteins in muscle, including calmodulin, skeletal troponin C, and cardiac troponin C. Calcium binding to the calcium-specific regulatory sites on these proteins exposes allosterically related felodipine-binding sites. The binding of other calmodulin antagonists and calcium antagonists, including prenylamine, R24571, and diltiazem, to these calcium-binding proteins abolishes the cooperativity between two felodipine-binding sites, resulting in felodipine binding to the remaining site with a 20–25-fold greater affinity. In addition, the binding of high-affinity drugs to these calcium-dependent hydrophobic sites on these calcium-binding proteins produces dramatic increases (40–50-fold) in their affinity for calcium. The affinity of felodipine for these calcium-binding proteins is 100–1,000 times lower than felodipine's IC 50 for relaxing tension in coronary arteries, indicating that these calcium-binding proteins are probably not the primary receptors for felodipine. Similarities between the binding of dihydropyridines to the calcium channel and to these calcium-binding proteins have led us to suggest that a “calmodulin-like” calcium-binding protein on the calcium channel is the actual pharmacological receptor for dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists. This “calmodulin-like” component of the channel could explain the calcium-dependent binding and allosteric interactions among calcium antagonists that have been reported to occur on the calcium channel. Further, studies of the similarities among calcium-binding proteins have allowed us to hypothesize as to how these channel blockers might act to inhibit calcium influx through calcium channels.
