title: Demonstration of the potassium channel opening activity of GYKI-12743 by 86Rb+ efflux studies.
abstract: It has been demonstrated that the novel antihypertensive compounds GYKI-12743 showed a potassium channel opening effect as studied in rabbit ear arteries with 86Rb+ as K+ marker. GYKI-12743 produced a concentration dependent 86Rb+ efflux in the same concentration range as the well-known K(+)-channel openers, pinacidil and cromakalim.
