Patent Claims:	1. A compound of the formula ##SPC10## wherein R represents hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represents methyl; R.sup.3 represents phenyl, benzyl, halobenzyl, lower alkoxy-benzyl; R.sup.4 represents hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; A represents lower alkylene; R.sup.5 represents methyl, or lower alkoxy, or lower alkoxy substituted with lower alkoxy, or ##EQU1## in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the same meaning as above; and R.sup.6 represents nitro or trifluoromethyl. 2. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 wherein said R is hydrogen, said R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represents methyl; said R.sup.3 represents benzyl; said R.sup.4 represents methyl or ethyl; said R.sup.5 represents lower alkoxy; and said R.sup.6 represents nitro. 3. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino ethyl ester 5-methyl ester. 4. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino) ethyl ester 5-ethyl ester. 5. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino) ethyl ester 5-isopropyl ester. 6. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-benzyl-N-ethylamino) ethyl ester 5-isopropyl ester. 7. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino) propyl ester 5-isopropyl ester. 8. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-p-methoxybenzyl-N-methylamino) ethyl ester 5-ethyl ester. 9. The 1,4-dihydropyridine compound as claimed in claim 1 which is 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-.beta.-(N-p-chlorobenzyl-N-methylamino) ethyl ester 5-ethyl ester.
