Calcium Channels

Nimodipine is a L-type Ca2+ channel blocker.

Tetrandrine is a calcium channel blocker. It inhibits the degranulation of mast cells.Tetrandrine has anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrogenic actions, which make tetrandrine and related compounds potentially useful in the treatment of lung silicosis, liver cirrhosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

MK-8998 (compound 33) is a potent and selective inhibitor of the T-type calcium channel.

L-Ascorbic acid (L-Ascorbate), an electron donor, is an endogenous antioxidant agent. L-Ascorbic acid inhibits selectively Cav3.2 channels with an IC50 of 6.5 μM. L-Ascorbic acid is also a collagen deposition enhancer and an elastogenesis inhibitor.

YM-58483 is the first selective and potent inhibitor of CRAC channels and subsequent Ca2+ signals.

L-Ascorbic acid sodium salt (Sodium L-ascorbate), an electron donor, is an endogenous antioxidant agent. L-Ascorbic acid sodium salt inhibits selectively Cav3.2 channels with an IC50 of 6.5 μM. L-Ascorbic acid sodium salt is also a collagen deposition enhancer and an elastogenesis inhibitor.

GSK-7975A is a potent and orally available CRAC channel inhibitor.

Dantrolene sodium is a inhibitor of calcium channel proteins, inhibiting the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasm. Dantrolene sodium is a skeletal muscle relaxant which acts by blocking muscle contraction beyond the neuromuscular junction.

Felodipine is a 1,4-dihydropyridine antagonist and calcium channel protein inhibitor.
