This study identified certain benzopyran derivatives with a bulky tert-butyloxycarbonylamino group as effective KATP channel openers that inhibit insulin secretion in rat pancreatic islets.

In this study, minoxidil sulfate was found to relax norepinephrine-induced contractions in rabbit mesenteric arteries, possibly by acting as a K+ channel agonist, but it did not relax K+-induced contractions.

This study confirms that zebrafish engineered with Cantú Syndrome mutations in ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes exhibit gain-of-function characteristics in their cardiovascular KATP channels, similar to mammalian counterparts.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of potassium channel openers for various conditions, but notes that their clinical role is not yet fully established.

This study identified heterozygous mutations in the ABCC9 gene as the genetic basis of Cantú syndrome, suggesting the syndrome as a new member of potassium channelopathies.
