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.
