A three-dimensional pharmacophore model was developed for T-type calcium channel blockers in order to map common structural features of highly active compounds by using CATALYST program. In the absence of three dimensional structure based information like binding mode and unavailability of more number of specific T-type calcium channel blockers, this hypothesis which consists of three hydrophobic regions, one hydrogen bond acceptor and one positive ionizable regions will act as a valuable tool in designing new ligands. Further more after the withdrawal of mibefradil, the first marketed T-type calcium channel blocker, due to the drug-drug interactions, there is an urgent need for more work in this interest.
