Fantofarone is a highly potent Calcium Channel antagonist.

Fantofarone is a potent antagonist of Calcium Channels.

It can be seen that the calcium channel blockers VIZ and Fantofarone (SR) possess a weak intrinsic antimalarial property compared to CQ, and both appear slightly more potent on the CQ-resistant than on the CQ-sensitive parasites.

Treatment with isosorbide dinitrate (0.3 mg/kg, i.v.) or Fantofarone (50 mg/kg, i.v.), a reduction is observed in the occurrence and severity of vasospasm, whereas verapamil (0.2 mg/kg, i.v.) is much less effective.
