Mibefradil inhibition of T-type calcium channels in cerebellar purkinje neurons

SI McDonough, BP Bean - Molecular pharmacology, 1998 - ASPET
The antihypertensive agent mibefradil completely and reversibly inhibited T-type calcium

Voltage‐Gated T‐Type Ca2+ Channels and Heart Failure

JP Clozel, EA Ertel, SI Ertel - Proceedings of the Association of …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
In the cardiovascular system, two types of voltage‐gated Ca2+ channels are present: the L‐

The Ca2+ channel antagonists mibefradil and pimozide inhibit cell growth via different cytotoxic mechanisms

GE Bertolesi, C Shi, L Elbaum, C Jollimore… - Molecular …, 2002 - ASPET
We show that mitogenic cells expressing T-type Ca2+ channels (T-channels) are more
sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of the drugs pimozide and mibefradil than cells …

The mibefradil derivative NNC55-0396, a specific T-type calcium channel antagonist, exhibits less CYP3A4 inhibition than mibefradil

PH Bui, A Quesada, A Handforth… - Drug metabolism and …, 2008 - ASPET
A novel mibefradil derivative, NNC55-0396, designed to be hydrolysis-resistant, was shown
to be a selective T-type Ca2+ channel inhibitor without L-type Ca2+ channel efficacy …

Towards selective antagonists of T‐type calcium channels: design, characterization and potential applications of NNC 55‐0396

M Li, JB Hansen, L Huang, BM Keyser… - Cardiovascular drug …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT NNC 55‐0396 is a structural analog of mibefradil (Ro 40‐5967) that inhibits
both T‐type and high‐voltage‐activated (HVA) Ca2+ channels with a higher selectivity for T …

Contrasting biophysical and pharmacological properties of T-type and R-type calcium channels

AD Randall, RW Tsien - Neuropharmacology, 1997 - Elsevier
In contrast to other kinds of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, the underlying molecular basis of
T-type and R-type channels is not well-understood. To facilitate comparisons with cloned …

Depolarization‐induced calcium influx in rat mesenteric small arterioles is mediated exclusively via mibefradil‐sensitive calcium channels

LJ Jensen, M Salomonsson, BL Jensen… - British journal of …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
In this study, intracellular Ca2+ was measured as the Fura‐2 ratio (R) of fluorescence
excited at 340 and 380 nm (F340/F380) in nonpressurized rat mesenteric small arterioles (Ø …

Effects of the T-type Ca2+ channel blocker mibefradil on repolarization of guinea pig, rabbit, dog, monkey, and human cardiac tissue

A Bénardeau, J Weissenburger, L Hondeghem… - … of Pharmacology and …, 2000 - ASPET
At supratherapeutic doses (2-to 5-fold), the T-type Ca2+ antagonist mibefradil modifies the
T/U wave of the human ECG. In this study, we show that this effect is observed in conscious …
