Application
Pinacidil monohydrate has been used:
- in repolarization studies by infusing into left anterior descending artery (LAD)
- to induce ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) current in ventricular myocytes for electrophysiological studies
- as a KATP opener to treat myocardial cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
K+ channel activator; antihypertensive.
Pinacidil is a KATP channel agonist. It protects cardiomyocytes by preventing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. It prevents the caspase 3 activation in hypoxia/reoxygenation injury.
