| CROMAKALIM Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | (±)-Cromakalim is a prototypical activator of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel, SUR2-Kir6, that displays anti-ischemic (EC25 = 8.9 μM) and cardioprotective (IC50 = 0.03 μM) effects in rat hearts. (±)-Cromakalim has also been shown to relax bladder smooth muscle in vitro. It has been used to investigate potassium channel biology and as a scaffold to develop increasingly selective K+ channel openers with clinical relevance. | | Chemical Properties | White Crystalline Solid | | Uses | Cromakalim causes vasodilation by activation of potassim channels
| | Uses | Cromakalim has been used:- as a potassium channel agonist to study its response to an acute increase in downstream pressure in rat lymphatic vessels.
- as a potassium channel opener to study its effects on the release of transmitters from adrenergic nerves in rat vas deferens.
- as a potassium channel activator to study its effects on the release of transmitters from purinergic and cholinergic nerves in the rat detrusor muscle.
| | Biological Activity | Prototypical K ATP channel opener. Relaxes rabbit isolated portal vein with an IC 50 value of 21 nM . Potent, orally active and hypotensive in vivo . | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Cromakalim is an activator of the potassium channel. It is involved in the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscles. Cromakalim exhibits anti-hypertensive activity. | | References | 1) Sanguinetti?et al. (1988),?BRL 34915 (cromakalim) activates ATP-sensitive K+ current in cardiac muscle; Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
