Features: This book, guided by the principles of comprehensiveness, depth, and precision, systematically elaborates on the research history, physiological functions and characteristics, structure and gating mechanisms, research methods, as well as agonists and antagonists of each type of ion channel. On this basis, it focuses on introducing the physiological, pathological, and relationship with diseases of ion channels, and briefly describes the pharmacological effects, clinical applications, precautions, and latest research progress of drugs targeting ion channels. In this book, the "Optimal Target Theory" for drug action on ion channels is particularly proposed. This theory holds significant value in refining and deeply understanding the mechanisms of drug action on ion channels and the generation mechanisms of certain adverse reactions. The book draws on domestic and international textbooks, striving to present up-to-date and highly practical content, and employs a visually rich format to make the material easily understandable.
