Felodipine analogs: structure-activity relationships.

abstract：:According to the standard model of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, GPCRs are localized to the cell membrane where they respond to extracellular signals. Stimulation of GPCRs leads to the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins and their intracellular signaling pathways. However, this model fails to accomm...
