BK opening for the treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension.
By Sadequl Islam on 09/13/2018
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Rat

The effect of NS161 as a therapeutic option for pulmonary hypertension was studied in rats. It can be seen from the test results that inhalation of a 12 µM and 100 µM NS1619 solution significantly reduces RV pressure without affecting systemic arterial pressure.

NS1619 inhalation reduces RV pressure and improves oxygen supply and its application inhibits PASMC proliferation in vitro.

Standard BK channel activator with great research potential.
By Farzana Islam on 08/17/2018
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Human
Cell Line/Tissue: HEK 293

I have used NS1619 as the standard BK channel opener compound to study how its effect measures up to few other drugs known to have BK channel activation properties. Concentrations of 0.1 microM, 1 microM, 10 microM and 100 microM were made. NS1619 was dissolved in sterile DMSO. Absorbance given off by HEK 293 cells when treated by both NS1619 and test compounds were measured by flame AAS.
