Abstrakt: Cancer remains a prominent cause to life expectancy, and targeted cancer therapy stands as a pivotal approach in contemporary therapy. Calcium (Ca 2+ ) signalling plays a multifaceted role in cancer progression, such as proliferation, invasion and distant metastasis. Otherwise, it also exerts an important influence on the efficacy of clinical treatment, including cancer therapy resistance. In this review we discuss the role of the L-type calcium channel CaV1.3 (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 D) in different types of cancers, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for certain cancer types. The development of selective blockers of the CaV1.3 channel has been of great interest and is expected to be a new option for the treatment of cancers such as prostate cancer and endometrial cancer. We present the pharmacological properties of CaV1.3 and the current status of selective blocker development, and analyse the challenges and possible directions for breakthroughs in the development of tailored medicines.
