    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Calcium ions are recognized as vital second messengers in cellular activation.
    • In excitable cells, extracellular calcium influx via voltage-sensitive channels regulates intracellular calcium levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the biochemistry and pharmacology of calcium modulators.
    • To discuss their current and future roles as biological tools and therapeutic agents.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on calcium channel modulators.
    • Biochemical and pharmacological analysis of these compounds.

    Main Results:

    • Calcium channel activity can be modulated by various ions, toxins, and drugs.
    • These 'calcium modulators' have diverse biochemical and pharmacological profiles.

    Conclusions:

    • Calcium modulators are significant in understanding cellular processes.
    • They hold potential as selective drugs and valuable research tools.
