Ranolazine | Selective sodium channel blocker

Ranolazine (142387-99-3) is an FDA-approved drug used for the treatment of chronic angina. It inhibits the late inward sodium current in heart muscle leading to decreased intracellular calcium levels.¹ Ranolazine blocks Nav 1.4, 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8 (IC₅₀'s = 2.42, 6.22, 1.72(10.33), 21.53 μM respectively.
