Application

NS 1619 has been used as calcium-activated potassium channels (BK)-activator: to study its vaso-relaxing effects on the thoracic aortic rings from mice, to evaluate its effects on the sarco-/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) activity from skeletal muscles, to determine its effects on the expression of caveolin-1 protein in mice brain tumor microvascular endothelial cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

NS 1619 is a selective large conductance Ca2+-activated K+-channel activator. The compound is known for its vasodilating and anti-proliferative properties. It is studied that NS 1619 can protect cardiac muscle against ischemia and reperfusion injury.
NS-1619 can promote the formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiac myocytes. It enhances the formation of ROS in cultured brain slices. NS-1619 has the ability to enhance HO-1 activity in wild-type (WT) animals.

Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK) of smooth muscle play a role in the relevant modulation of vascular tone, due to their calcium- and voltage-dependent mechanisms of activation. A potential role of endothelial BK channels has also been suggested by approaches

Activators and blockers of specific ion channels are important pharmacological tools for characterizing ion channels and their influence on cell function. The large-conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channel (BK channel) is blocked by peptides such as charybdotoxin and iberiotoxin, but no selective
