Calcium Channel Antagonists Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
Calcium channels (Ca2+) are proteins, which regulate the influx of calcium into cells. In vascular smooth muscle and cardiac myocytes, calcium influx stimulates muscle contraction and in nodal tissue, it plays an important role in pacemaker currents. Ca+ channel antagonists block the calcium by binding to the L-type calcium channels, thereby resulting in smooth muscle relaxation, decreased myocardial force generation, decreased heart rate, and decreased conduction velocity at the atrioventricular node. Calcium channel antagonists are indicated as antihypertensives, anti-anginal, and anti-arrhythmic agents. Novartis, Sanofi, Incepta Pharma, GSK, CBA Pharma, NVP Healthcare, PDS Biotech, and AbbVie are some of the major players in the Ca+ channel antagonist market. Additionally, Ca+ channel antagonists are in the investigational phase for other indications.

Calcium channel blockers such as amlodipine, benidipine, and cilnidipine (dihydropyridine class) are used for the treatment of angina pectoris, and hypertension. Verapamil is used to reduce myocardial oxygen demand, reverse coronary vasospasm, and also for angina. Verapamil and Diltiazem due to their ability to inhibit the AV node are employed in the management of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Calcium channel antagonists are also used in epilepsy. Some calcium channel blockers are in the clinical trial phases for conditions like hyperlipidemia, Alzheimer’s disease, neuropathic pain, and others.
