Ms. Morales-rios et al., H-1 and C-13 NMR study of the antihypertensive drugs nifedipine, nicardipine and related compounds, MAGN RES CH, 38(8), 2000, pp. 680-683
One-bond and long-range two-dimensional H-1 and C-13 NMR experiments and de
uterium-induced C-13 isotope shifts (n)Delta C(ND) allow the unequivocal as
signment of C-13 and H-1 spectra. On this basis, previous assignments of bi
ologically active nifedipine, nicardipine and related compounds have been r
evised. The nicardipine chloride salt shows at room temperature two diaster
eoisomeric configurations due to the asymmetry of substitution at the restr
icted inverting nitrogen on the NMR time-scale. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wil
