Description: Kir6 (KATP) channel opener and NO donor
Chemical Name: N-[2-(Nitrooxy)ethyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide
Biological Activity for Nicorandil
Kir6 (KATP) channel opener and NO donor; antianginal agent. Preferentially activates SUR2B- versus SUR2A-containing Kir6 channels (EC50 values are 10 and > 500 μM respectively) and causes 1.6-fold increase in cardiac eNOS expression. Displays coronary and peripheral vasodilatory properties, reduces both pre- and after-load, and increases coronary blood flow. Also displays cardioprotective effects, possibly through ischemic preconditioning.

Nicorandil was used to study Kca1.1 channels.

Nicorandil was used to study Kca1.1 channels which are are voltage-gated potassium channels that conduct large amounts of potassium ions (K+) across the cell membrane. To understand neuronal excitability modulated by BK channel opening, Nicorandil was introduced into the cell line.
