Interaction of a novel dihydropyridine K+ channel opener, A-312110, with recombinant sulphonylurea receptors and KATP channels: comparison with the cyanoguanidine P1075.

ABSTRACT: 1. ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP) channels) are composed of pore-forming subunits (Kir6.x) and of regulatory subunits, the sulphonylurea receptors (SURx). Synthetic openers of K(ATP) channels form a chemically heterogeneous class of compounds that are of interest in several therapeutic areas. We have investigated the interaction of a novel dihydropyridine opener, A-312110 ((9R)-9-(4-fluoro-3-iodophenyl)-2,3,5,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrano[3,4-b]thieno [2,3-e]pyridin-8(7H)-one-1,1-dioxide), with SURs and Kir6/SUR channels in comparison to the cyanoguanidine opener P1075. 2. In the presence of 1 mM MgATP, A-312110 bound to SUR2A (the SUR in cardiac and skeletal muscle) and to SUR2B (smooth muscle) with K(i) values of 14 and 18 nM; the corresponding values for P1075 were 16 and 9 nM, respective
