Imbrici P, Liantonio A, Camerino GM, De Bellis M, Camerino C, Mele A, Giustino A, Pierno S, De Luca A, Tricarico D, Desaphy JF, Conte D.
PMID: 27242528
Front Pharmacol. 2016 May 10;7:121. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2016.00121. eCollection 2016.

In the human genome more than 400 genes encode ion channels, which are transmembrane proteins mediating ion fluxes across membranes. Being expressed in all cell types, they are involved in almost all physiological processes, including sense perception, neurotransmission, muscle...

Severe iatrogenic bradycardia related to the combined use of beta-blocking agents and sodium channel blockers.

Clinical pharmacology : advances and applications

Kawabata M, Yokoyama Y, Sasaki T, Tao S, Ihara K, Shirai Y, Sasano T, Goya M, Furukawa T, Isobe M, Hirao K.
PMID: 25733934
Clin Pharmacol. 2015 Feb 16;7:29-36. doi: 10.2147/CPAA.S77021. eCollection 2015.

PURPOSE: Drug-induced bradycardia is common during antiarrhythmic therapy; the major culprits are beta-blockers. However, whether other antiarrhythmic drugs are also a significant cause of this, alone or in combination with beta-blockers, is not well known.METHODS: We retrospectively investigated the...

Therapy of Vestibular Paroxysmia, Superior Oblique Myokymia, and Ocular Neuromyotonia.

Current treatment options in neurology

Strupp M, Dieterich M, Brandt T, Feil K.
PMID: 27306762
Curr Treat Options Neurol. 2016 Jul;18(7):34. doi: 10.1007/s11940-016-0417-2.

OPINION STATEMENT: Neurovascular compression syndromes are characterized by recurrent attacks of neurological symptoms and clinical signs depending on the cranial nerve affected. It is assumed that pulsatile compression of the nerve is caused mainly by an artery. The result...

How Do Atrial-Selective Drugs Differ From Antiarrhythmic Drugs Currently Used in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation?.

Journal of atrial fibrillation

Burashnikov A, Antzelevitch C.
PMID: 21057583
J Atr Fibrillation. 2008;1(2):98-107. doi: 10.4022/jafib.v1i1.400.

Current pharmacologic strategies for the management of Atrial fibrillation (AF) include use of 1) sodium channel blockers, which are contraindicated in patients with coronary artery or structural heart disease because of their potent effect to slow conduction in the...

Identification of deep-sea-sediment bacteria which produce tetrodotoxin.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Do HK, Kogure K, Simidu U.
PMID: 16348162
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1990 Apr;56(4):1162-3. doi: 10.1128/aem.56.4.1162-1163.1990.

Forty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from deep-sea sediments. Among them, 22 strains were shown by the tissue culture assay method to produce sodium channel blockers. For some strains, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis confirmed that the blocker was tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin-producing...

Dibenzazepine Agents in Epilepsy: How Does Eslicarbazepine Acetate Differ?.

Neurology and therapy

Lawthom C, Peltola J, McMurray R, Dodd E, Villanueva V.
PMID: 30251237
Neurol Ther. 2018 Dec;7(2):195-206. doi: 10.1007/s40120-018-0111-2. Epub 2018 Sep 24.

Carbamazepine (CBZ), oxcarbazepine (OXC), and eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) belong to the dibenzazepine family of antiepileptic drugs and are all thought to primarily act as sodium channel blockers (SCBs). However, ESL is structurally distinct from CBZ and OXC, resulting in...

A Proteotranscriptomic-Based Computational Drug-Repositioning Method for Alzheimer's Disease.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Lee SY, Song MY, Kim D, Park C, Park DK, Kim DG, Yoo JS, Kim YH.
PMID: 32063857
Front Pharmacol. 2020 Jan 29;10:1653. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2019.01653. eCollection 2019.

Numerous clinical trials of drug candidates for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have failed, and computational drug repositioning approaches using omics data have been proposed as effective alternative approaches to the discovery of drug candidates. However, little multi-omics data is available...

Evaluation of the antinociceptive activities of several sodium channel blockers using veratrine test in mice.

Synapse (New York, N.Y.)

Yoshizawa K, Arai N, Suzuki Y, Nakamura T, Takeuchi K, Sakamoto R, Masuda R.
PMID: 29993143
Synapse. 2018 Jul 11; doi: 10.1002/syn.22056. Epub 2018 Jul 11.

An important role of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in many different pain states has been established in animal models and humans wherein sodium channel blockers partially ameliorate pain. However, behavioral tests for screening analgesics that exhibit pharmacologic action by...
