SKP-451 is an ATP-sensitive potassium (K+) channel agonist. SKP-451 activates the ATP-sensitive K+ channels, promotes the efflux of K+, causes membrane hyperpolarization, and inhibits the influx of Ca2+, thereby relaxing the vascular smooth muscle. SKP-451 relaxs the canine coronary artery, rabbit basilar artery, and vertebral artery. SKP-451 also reduces the mean arterial blood pressure of conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SKP-451 is promising for research of cardiovascular diseases.
