KATP openers are recognized as having a therapeutic potential for the treatment of various cardiovascular and noncardiovascular diseases. However, the first-generation agents open KATP in a variety of tissues that limit their potential clinical utility. This review describes our studies

The effects of the K+ channel blockers tedisamil and glibenclamide on cromakalim- and minoxidil sulphate-induced 42K+ and 86Rb+ efflux and vasorelaxation in rat aorta, were investigated. In aortic strips preloaded with 42K+ or 86Rb+, cromakalim (1 mumol/l) induced increases in

The K+ channel openers, including cromakalim, pinacidil, minoxidil sulfate, diazoxide, and nicorandil, form a chemically heterogeneous group of compounds, which relax smooth muscle by opening plasmalemmal K+ channels. At present it is not known whether these drugs elicit their effects
