A sodium channel opener is a type of drug which facilitates ion transmission through sodium channels.
Examples include toxins, such as atracotoxins (e.g., robustoxin, versutoxin) and ciguatoxins, which activate voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), and solnatide (AP301), which activates the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC).[1]
