Channel blocker — A channel blocker (CB) or ion channel blocker (ICB) is a type of drug which binds inside the pore of a specific type of ion channel and blocks the flow of ions through it, resulting in an alteration of the electrochemical gradient of the cell… … Wikipedia
Calcium channel blocker — A calcium channel blocker (CCB) is a chemical that disrupts the movement of calcium (Ca2+) through calcium channels.[1] CCB drugs devised to target neurons are used as antiepileptics. However, the most widespread clinical usage of calcium channel … Wikipedia
