Mechanisms of action of various ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers.
Dr. Grover’s very kind and complimentary remarks about the recent review [l] on ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers during ischemia and reperfusion are much appreciated. One point, however, causes Dr. Grover considerable concern-this is the citation of (and by implication a presumed agreement with) the comments in the paper by Richer et al. [2]. This paper was critical of the conclusions of...
متن کاملIs there a therapeutic future for "potassium channel openers'?
1. Potassium channels, which control cell electrical activity, are among the most regulated of all ion channels in biology. Promotion of activity in K+ channels by a wide range of physiological factors tends to stabilize cell function. 2. The discovery of synthetic molecules (e.g. cromakalim) that 'directly' open ATP-sensitive K+ channels has led to a new direction in pharmacology. ATP-sensitiv...
متن کاملActions of potassium channel openers in rat detrusor urinae.
This study was performed to investigate the action of potassium channel openers on the mechanical activity of detrusor muscle isolated from rats. Detrusor muscle strips, 15 mm in length, were myographied isometrically in an isolated organ bath. P 1060, RP 49356 and BRL 38277, potassium channel activators, reduced the basal tone and diminished the phasic activity of detrusor concentration-depend...
متن کاملPharmacodynamics of potassium channel openers in cultured neuronal networks.
A novel class of drugs - potassium (K(+)) channel openers or activators - has recently been shown to cause anticonvulsive and neuroprotective effects by activating hyperpolarizing K(+) currents, and therefore, may show efficacy for treating tinnitus. This study presents measurements of the modulatory effects of four K(+) channel openers on the spontaneous activity and action potential waveforms...
متن کاملPotassium Channel Openers Agents for the Treatment of Airway Hyperreactivity
77 Summary ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels link the metabolic status of the cell to the plasma membrane potential and thus play a key role in regulating cellular excitability. KATP channel openers (KCOs) may impact positively on respiratory disease by suppressing bronchoconstriction, mucus hypersecretion, cough and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). A major recent development is the emergenc...
