Tetrandrine is a calcium channel protein inhibitor. Tetrandrine blocks the L-type (IC50= 0.3-8 µM) and T-type (IC50= 2.5-20 µM) calcium channels. It is also a potent blocker of the Ca2+-activated K+ channel (Kd= 0.2 µM). One of the primary mechanisms of action of tetrandrine is its ability to inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine and cytokines.
