Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
As a follow-up to our previous studies on differently substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines endowed with a peculiar cardiac selectivity, in this paper, a small series of hybrid compounds bearing the pharmacophore fragment of lidoflazine in position 2 or 3 on a 4-(xanthen-9-one)-dihydropyridine core was reported. Lidoflazine was selected due to our promising previously reported data, and the xanthen-9-one substituent was introduced in position 4 of the dihydropyridine scaffold based on the cardiac selectivity observed in several of our studies. The new hybrid compounds were tested to assess cardiac and vascular activities, and the data were evaluated in comparison with those previously obtained for 4-(xanthen-9-one)-dihydropyridines and lidoflazine–nifedipine hybrid compounds. The functional studies indicated an interesting peculiar selectivity for the cardiac parameter inotropy, in particular when the lidoflazine fragment was introduced in position 2 of the dihydropyridine scaffold (4a–e), and thus a possible preferential binding with the Ca 1.2 isoform of L-type calcium channels, which are mainly involved in cardiac contractility.
