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.

Iptakalim, a lipophilic para-amino compound, is a novel ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) opener, as well as an α4β2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonist. Iptakalim is also a K(ir) 6.1/SUR2B activator that can attenuate hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in rats by endothelial function protection.

GW9508(GW 9508) is a potent and selective agonist for FFA1 (GPR40), stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-sensitive manner.

Aprikalim (RP 52891) is an adenosine triphosphate potassium channel (KATP) opener that protects against nerve damage in a rabbit model of spinal cord ischemia.Aprikalim inhibits vasoconstriction and inhibits the elevation of [Ca2+]i during myocardial paralysis, and can be used to study cardiovascular disease.

Amiodarone hydrochloride is an anti-anginal agent and a class III antiarrhythmic drug that inhibits potassium channels (including wild-type hERG channels and their tail currents, with an IC₅₀ of approximately 45 nM) as well as voltage-gated sodium channels. This leads to prolonged action potential duration in ventricular and atrial myocytes, resulting in reduced heart rate and vascular resistance. It activates ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in fibroblasts, promoting cell proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation. Amiodarone hydrochloride is widely used in the study of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and can also be used to establish pulmonary fibrosis animal models.

Glibornuride, a blocker of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (pKi: 5.75), inhibits high-affinity [3H]-glibenclamide binding with potencies corresponding to its K+ channel activity.

KRN 4884 is an opener of the K+ channel. KRN 4884 (0.1-3 μM) activates KATP channels in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50=0.55 μM), in the presence of intracellular ATP (1 mM).

5-Hydroxydecanoate sodium is a selective ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel blocker with an IC50 of approximately 30 μM and a substrate for mitochondrial outer membrane acyl-CoA synthetase, possessing antioxidant properties.

Levcromakalim (BRL 38227) is an activator of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel.

Hydroxyhexamide ((±)-Hydroxyhexamid) is a pharmacologically active metabolite of Acetohexamide, used as a hypoglycemic agent.

U-89232 is an opener of the cardioselective KATP channel.

Tifenazoxide is an effective and SUR1/Kir6.2 selective KATP channels opener. Tifenazoxide has an anti-diabetic effect, can inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin release in vitro and in vivo.

Glipizide (CP 28720) is a short-acting, second-generation sulfonylurea with hypoglycemic activity.

Arachidonic acid (Immunocytophyt) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 essential fatty acid that serves as a major component of biological membranes and animal phospholipids. It is synthesized from dietary linoleic acid and acts as a precursor to lipid mediators such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. Arachidonic acid can improve cognitive responses and cardiovascular function and is commonly used to induce paw edema models.

Chloroprocaine hydrochloride (Chloroprocaine HCl) is a local anesthetic during surgical procedures.

Aekatperone, a reversible KATP channel inhibitor, exhibits an IC50 of 9 μM. It is utilized in research related to congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI).

Atpenin A5 is a potent and highly specific complex II inhibitor (IC50 ~10 nM), as well as an effective mKATP channel agonist and cardioprotective agent [1].

Dibutyryl-cGMP sodium (Bt2cGMP sodium) is a cell-permeable cGMP analog that preferentially activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). It inhibits [3H]-arachidonic acid release in human platelets stimulated by gamma thrombin and can induce peripheral analgesia by activating ATP-sensitive K+ channels.

AZ10606120 dihydrochloride is a selectable, potent, high-affinity receptor antagonist with K D values of 1.4 and 19 nM at human and rat P2X 7 receptors, respectively. AZ10606120 dihydrochloride inhibits tumor growth and has anti-angiogenic activity. AZ 10606120 acts as a negative allosteric modulator when bound to a site coupled to the ATP binding site.

1-((3R,4S)-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-(phenylsulfonyl)chroman-4-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one is an isomer of Rilmakalim, a potassium channel opener (PCO), which can activate ATP-sensitive K+ channels in the heart or other tissues

NC-1300-B inhibits H(+)-K(+)-ATPase and is used in the study of gastric ulcers.

PCO 400 is an analog of comakalim that acts as a selective and potent ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener.

Isopulegol has antioxidant, and neuroactive properties. It also has gastroprotective effects induced by isopulegol appear to be mediated, at least in part, by endogenous prostaglandins, K+ATP channel opening and antioxidant proprieties related to GSH incr

Mitiglinide calcium hydrate (S-21403 calcium hydrate) is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Mitiglinide is thought to stimulate insulin secretion by closing the ATP-sensitive K(+) K(ATP) channels in pancreatic beta-cells. Mitiglinide belongs to the meglitinide class of blood glucose-lowering drugs and is currently co-marketed in Japan by Kissei and Takeda.
