A method to treat conditions associated with undesired calcium channel activity in a subject which method comprises administering to a subject in need of such treatment a compound of the formula
- or the salts thereof,
- wherein Z is N or CH;
- wherein n is 0 or 1;
- X1 and X2 are linkers;
- Ar represents one or two substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic rings, and
- Cy represents one or two substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic cyclic or heterocyclic moietics, or consists of one substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic cyclic or heterocyclic moiety and one substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety,
- Y is O, S, NR or CR2 where R is H or alkyl (1-6C);
- each l1 and l2 is independently 0-4;
- l3 is 0 or 1;
- each of R1, R2 and R3 is independently alkyl (1-6C), aryl (6-10C) or arylalkyl (7-16C) optionally containing 1-4 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of halo, N, P, O, and S or may independently be halo, OR, SR, NR2, OOCR, NROCR, COR, COOR, CONR2, CF3, CN or NO2, wherein R is H or alkyl (1-6C), and
- wherein the dotted lines represent optional π-bonds, or
- compounds of formulas (1a) or (1b) where (X2)nAr or (X2)nCy is replaced by alkyl (1-6C).

- X1 and X2 are linkers;
- Ar represents one or two substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic rings, and
- Cy represents one or two substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic cyclic or heterocyclic moieties, or consists of one substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic cyclic or heterocyclic moiety and one substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety,
- Y is O, S, NR or CR2 where R is H or alkyl (1-6C);
- each l1 and l2 is independently 0-4;
- l3is 0 or 1;
- each of R1, R2 and R3 is independently alkyl (1-6C), aryl (6-10C) or arylalkyl (7-16C) optionally containing 1-4 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of halo, N, P, O, and S or may independently be halo, OR, SR, NR2, OOCR, NROCR, COR, COOR, CONR2, CF3, CN or NO2, wherein R is H or alkyl (1-6C), and
- wherein the dotted lines represent optional π-bonds, or
- compounds of formulas (1a) or (1b) where (X2)nAr or (X2)nCy is replaced by alkyl (1-6C).
