The antihypertensive drug Cilnidipine (1) is photolabile under UV-A light. Irradiation of a chloroform solution of Cilnidipine under aerobic and anaerobic conditions produces a common photoproduct which was isolated as 2-methoxyethyl-3-phenyl-2-propenyl pyridine dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl) pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (2). The formation of products was explained by photochemical aromatization of Cilnidipine.
