Comparative effects of K+ channel blockade on the vasorelaxant activity of cromakalim, pinacidil and nicorandil.

Abstract:

:Three agents with K+ channel blocking activity, procaine, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and tetraethylammonium (TEA), were tested for inhibition of vasorelaxation and 86Rb+ efflux induced by cromakalim (BRL 34915), pinacidil and nicorandil in rabbit isolated mesenteric artery. The potency order for inhibition of vasorelaxation was procaine greater than 4-AP greater than TEA and for inhibition of efflux was procaine = 4-AP greater than TEA. The K+ channel blockers did not discriminate between cromakalim, pinacidil or nicorandil on efflux but demonstrated preferential inhibition of vasorelaxation to cromakalim greater than pinacidil greater than nicorandil. In addition, the maximum response to cromakalim was depressed but that to pinacidil and nicorandil was not. The results confirm the role of K+ channel activation in vasorelaxation to cromakalim, pinacidil and nicorandil, but suggest that additional mechanisms may be involved for pinacidil and, in particular, for nicorandil.
