Biological Data

Biological description Cromakalim active enantiomer. Kir6 (KATP) channel activator. Induces a glibenclamide-sensitive, non-inactivating K-current (IKCO) in smooth muscle and inhibits the slow delayed rectifier K-current (ITO). Lowers cholesterol and triglyceride in diabetes, but inhibits insulin. Shows vasodilator actions.
