Abstract

Ion channel modulators have emerged as a promising class of therapeutic agents, influencing the behavior of ion channels to treat a wide variety of diseases, from neurological disorders to cardiac arrhythmias. Ion channels, which regulate the flow of ions across cell membranes, are integral to cellular signaling and function. Modulating these channels can either enhance or inhibit their activity, providing a means to restore normal physiological processes disrupted by disease. This article explores the mechanisms by which ion channel modulators work, the types of ion channels they target, their therapeutic applications, and challenges in their development. With growing insight into ion channel biology, these modulators hold significant potential in precision medicine
