The role of calcium channel blockers in wound healing

author

Abstract:

Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors. Calcium channel blockers belong to cardiovascular medicine and administrated to treatment of hypertension, angina and cardiac arrhythmia because of vasodilatory effect. Calcium channel blockers is divided to dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyrine. The potential of both dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyrine calcium channel blockers in wound healing have been reported in different animal models and in vitro previously. Amlodipine, verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, and azelnidipine are calcium channel blockers that indicated wound healing property. The various mechanisms that involve in wound healing effect of calcium channel blockers are discussed in this article.
