From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chloride channel blocker is a type of
drug which inhibits the transmission of
ions (Cl− ) through
chloride channels .
Niflumic acid is a chloride channel blocker that has been used in experimental
scientific research .
[1] Another example is
anthracene-9-carboxylic acid , a potent blocker of the
CLCN1 -type chloride channel found in skeletal muscle, which is used to study animal models of
myotonia congenita .
[2]
Some antagonists of
glycine receptors and
GABAA receptors also act as chloride channel blockers.
