Mibefradil
This unique calcium channel blocker selectively blocks T-type calcium channels (in addition to L-type channels), which had potential advantages in treating heart disease and hypertension. It was withdrawn from the market shortly after approval because it caused dangerous interactions with many commonly used medications by inhibiting liver enzymes that metabolize drugs.

Wirkmechanismus
Blocks L-type voltage-gated calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle and cardiac myocytes, reducing calcium influx during depolarization. This produces vasodilation, decreased myocardial contractility, and reduced heart rate.
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
