Due to similar symptoms, different genes for both channels and pumps can be associated with the same disease. For instance, polymicrogyria has been associated with the channel gene SCN3A [ 12 ] and the pump gene ATP1A3 , [ 6 ] among other genes that are not ion transporters.
Sodium channel blockers are also used as local anesthetics and anticonvulsants. [5] Sodium channel blockers have been proposed for use in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, [6] but current evidence is mixed. [7] It has been suggested that the analgesic effects of some antidepressants may be mediated in part via sodium channel blockade. [8]
DPH-362 is a simplified amitriptyline analog created by omission of the two-carbon dibenzosuberane bridge (the seven membered ring). The resulting compound still had activity in a test to explore TCA sodium channel blockers with analgesic properties.
Sodium channel inhibitors are used as both antiepileptics and antiarrhythmics, as they can inhibit the hyper-excitable tissues in a patient. [22] Introducing specific sodium channel blockers into a tissue allows for the preferential binding of the blocker to sodium channels, which results in an ultimate inhibition of the flow of sodium into the ...
This is a list of investigational analgesics, or analgesics that are currently under development for clinical use but are not yet approved. Chemical/generic names are listed first, with developmental code names, synonyms, and brand names in parentheses. This list was last comprehensively updated in June 2017. It is likely to become outdated ...

An epithelial sodium channel blocker is a sodium channel blocker that is selective for the epithelial sodium channel. An example is amiloride , which is used in the treatment of hypertension . [ 1 ]
Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP, HyperKPP) is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that affects sodium channels in muscle cells and the ability to regulate potassium levels in the blood. It is characterized by muscle hyperexcitability or weakness which, exacerbated by potassium , heat or cold, can lead to uncontrolled shaking followed ...
