“…Earlier reports have identified a number of both synthetic and naturally occurring compounds that could activate BK currents, including NS1608 (25,40,42), NS004 (25,26,32,49), NS1619 (11,50,51), as well as a number of other less well-characterized compounds and their derivatives (3,7,8,23,38). However, to date, these synthetic BK channel openers have lacked selectivity, particularly on native tissue (35).…”
