Pericytes are present tight around the intervals of capillaries,play an essential role in stabilizing the blood-brain barrier,regulating blood flow and immunomodulation,and persistent contraction of pericytes eventual...
Both iptakalim (Ipt) and natakalim (Nat) activate the SUR2B/Kir6.1 channel, an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATp) subtype, with high selectivity. In this study we investigated the therapeutic effects of Ipt ...

Iptakalim is a new ATP-sensitive potassium (KATp) channel opener, and it inhibits the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and pulmonary vascular remodeling. However, the underlying mec...
Objective:To investigate the role of iptakalim,an ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener,in transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its involved mechanisms.Methods:Intraluminal occlusion of middle cer...
Aim: To study the relationship between the antihypertensive response of iptakalim and KCNJ11 polymorphisms in Chinese Han hypertensive patients. Methods: One hundred sixty two Chinese Hart hypertensive patients were...
Aim: To elucidate the modulation of the chemerin/ChemR23 axis by iptakalim-induced opening of KATP channels and to determine the role of the chemerin/ChemR23 axis in the iptakalim-mediated endothelial protection. Met...
