Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of Ca(v)1.2 by antagonist 1,4 dihydropyridines (DHPs) is associated with a drug-induced acceleration of the calcium (Ca(2+)) channel current decay. This feature is contradictorily interpreted as open channel block or as drug-induced inactivation. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism we investigated the effects of (+)- and (-)-isradipine on Ca(v)1.2 inactivation gating at different membrane...
