ca2+ channels

Thapsigargin is a natural product, an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) and an endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer. Thapsigargin increases cytoplasmic calcium concentration by blocking the ability of cells to pump calcium into the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum.

Gallopamil (Methoxyverapamil) inhibits acid secretion in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 10.9 μM. Gallopamil is a potent antiarrhythmic and vasodilator agent. Gallopamil (Methoxyverapamil), a methoxy derivative of Verapamil, is a phenylalkylamine calcium antagonist.

Gallopamil hydrochloride (Methoxyverapamil hydrochloride) is an antagonist of phenylalkylamine calcium. Gallopamil hydrochloride can be used in antiarrhythmic and vasodilator studies.

Ionomycin calcium (SQ23377 calcium) is an effective and selective calcium ionophore, demonstrating high specificity for divalent cations (Ca>Mg>Sr=Ba).

Etripamil (MSP-2017) displays atrioventricular nodal conduction and prolongs atrioventricular nodal refractory periods by inhibiting calcium ion influx through the calcium slow channels in the atrioventricular node cells. Etripamil is an antagonist of short-acting L-type calcium-channel. It has a rapid onset of action designed for intranasal administration. It is also used to treat Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia.

Pranidipine (OPC-13340) is a novel, long-acting 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker with antihypertensive activity. It enhances acetylcholine-induced relaxation in the presence of endothelium and nitroglycerin-induced relaxation in the absence of endothelium.

JNJ-26489112 is a CNS-active agent and inhibitor of voltage-gated Na+ channels and N-type Ca2+ channels with broad-spectrum anticonvulsant activity in rodents and can be used to study neurological disorders.

Sulcardine sulfate (B-87823) is a multi-ion channel blocker with antiarrhythmic activity, inhibits Na+, K+ and Ca2+ channels, and inhibits hNav1.5 channels in a concentration-dependent and reversible manner.

Bupivacaine hydrochloride (Vivacaine) is a long-acting, amide-type local anesthetic. Bupivacaine hydrochloride reversibly binds to specific sodium ion channels in the neuronal membrane, resulting in a decrease in the voltage-dependent membrane permeability to sodium ions and membrane stabilization; inhibition of depolarization and nerve impulse conduction; and a reversible loss of sensation.

Diltiazem hydrochloride (RG 83606 HCl) is a benzothiazepine calcium channel blocking agent with vasodilating action due to its antagonism of the actions of CALCIUM ion on membrane functions.

Nitrendipine (BAY-E-5009) is a calcium channel blocker with marked vasodilator action. It is an effective antihypertensive agent and differs from other calcium channel blockers in that it does not reduce glomerular filtration rate and is mildly natriuretic, rather than sodium retentive.

Felodipine (CGH-869) is a longlasting 1, 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel repressor.

Nisoldipine (BAY-k 5552) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist that acts as a potent arterial vasodilator and antihypertensive agent.

Manidipine dihydrochloride (Manidipine 2HCl) is a potent calcium channel blocker for Ca2+ current(IC50=2.6 nM).

Brompheniramine maleate (Dimotane) is an antagonist against histamine H1 receptors.

Ranolazine dihydrochloride (Ranolazine 2HCl) , an antianginal agent, can treat arrhythmia via a novel mechanism of action (inhibition of the late phase of the inward sodium current), and do not affect blood pressure or heart rate.

Amlodipine Besylate(Amlodipine benzenesulfonate) is a long-lasting calcium channel blocker.

Trimethadione (3,5,5-Trimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione) is a dione-type anticonvulsant with antiepileptic activity.

Nimodipine (BAY-e 9736), a 1, 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, acts primarily on vascular smooth muscle cells.

Cinepazide maleate (MD-67350), a maleate salt form of cinepazide, is a vasodilator.

Cilnidipine (FRC-8653)(FRC8653) is a dual L- and N-type calcium channel blocker and displays antihypertensive, sympatholytic and neuroprotective activity.

Topiramate (RWJ 17021) is a unique antiseizure medication that is used in the treatment of partial and generalized seizures. Topiramate has been rarely associated with hepatic injury and largely when used in combination with other anticonvulsant medications.

Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an Anti-epileptic Agent. The physiologic effect of gabapentin is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.

Flavoxate hydrochloride (DW61) , a muscarinic AChR antagonist, is used in the therapy of various urinary syndromes and as an antispasmodic.
