Nicorandil

Catalog No. T0075   CAS 65141-46-0
Synonyms: SG-75

Nicorandil (SG-75)(Ikorel) acts by relaxing the smooth muscle of the blood vessels, especially those of the venous system. It undertakes this through two methods. Firstly, by activating potassium channels, and secondly by donating nitric oxide to activate the enzyme guanylate cyclase. Guanylate cyclase causes activation of cGMP leading to both arterial and venous vasodilatation by de-phosphorylation of the myosin light chain.

Description Nicorandil (SG-75)(Ikorel) acts by relaxing the smooth muscle of the blood vessels, especially those of the venous system. It undertakes this through two methods. Firstly, by activating potassium channels, and secondly by donating nitric oxide to activate the enzyme guanylate cyclase. Guanylate cyclase causes activation of cGMP leading to both arterial and venous vasodilatation by de-phosphorylation of the myosin light chain.
In vitro Nicorandil (100 mM) increases Flavoprotein oxidation but not membrane current; a 10-fold higher concentration recruits both mitoK(ATP) and surfaceK(ATP) channels. Nicorandil bluntes the rate of cell death in a pelleting model of ischemia; this cardioprotective effect is prevented by the mitoK(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate but is unaffected by the surfaceK(ATP) channel blocker HMR1098. [1] Nicorandil (100 mM) suppresses TUNEL positivity, cytochrome c translocation, caspase-3 activation and dissipation of mitochondrialinner membrane potential (Delta(Psi)(m)). Nicorandil prevents Delta(Psi)(m) depolarization in a concentration-dependent manner (EC(50) approximately 40 mM, with saturation by 100 mM), as shown by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis of cells stained with a fluorescent Delta(Psi)(m)-indicator, tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE). [2] Nicorandil activates a weakly inwardly-rectifying, glibenclamide-sensitive 80 pS K+ channel in both the transfected cells. Nicorandil preferentially activates the K(ATP) channels containing SUR2B in HEK293T cells. [3] Nicorandil (100 mM) significantly suppresses the number of cells with TUNEL-positive nuclei and the increase in caspase-3 activity induced by 20 mM Water2. Nicorandil prevents the loss of DeltaPsim induced by Water2 in a concentration-dependent manner. [4]

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box
