A chloride channel opener is a type of drug which facilitates ion transmission through chloride channels.
An example is 1,10-phenanthroline, which activates Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channels.[1]
GABA-A receptor agonists (e.g. lorazepam) may also be considered chloride channel openers
