Vasorelaxant effects of the potassium channel opener SR 47063 on the isolated human saphenous vein and rat aorta

Abstract: The vasorelaxant effects of SR 47063 (4-(2-cyanimino-1,2-dihydropyrid-1-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-6-nitrochromene), a new K + -channel opener structurally related to levcromakalim, were examined in isolated human saphenous vein (HSV) and rat aorta (RA). HSV or RA rings were precontracted with either KCl or noradrenaline and cumulative relaxant concentration-response curves were obtained for SR 47063 (0.1 nM to 1 µM) in the presence or absence of 3 µM glibenclamide. SR 47063 potently relaxed HSV and RA precontracted wit… Show more

“…Each of the three substances used in the present study represents one prototype of a different subclass of ATP-sensitive PCOs; cromakalim belongs to the benzopyran series, pinacidil is a cyanoguanidine derivative. The atypical PCO minoxidil is clinically known to treat high blood pressure [8] and topically used as a hair-growth stimulant, and is a pyrimidine derivative.…”

“…It also reduces the opening probability of ion channels which are necessary for membrane depolarization [14]. Additionally, the concentration-relaxation curves of the atypical PCO minoxidil clinically used as antihypertensive medication [16] was determined in both species. Among the different classes of potassium channels ATP-sensitive channels are interesting with regard to their use as targets for the treatment of detrusor overactivity.…”

“…In the present study the concentration-relaxation curves of the two first-generation PCOs, cromakalim and pinacidil, in porcine and human detrusor muscle were determined. Additionally, the concentration-relaxation curves of the atypical PCO minoxidil clinically used as antihypertensive medication [16] was determined in both species.…”
