Biological activities

Nicorandil is a potent vasodilator. Nicorandil relaxes vascular smooth muscle, at least in part, through cGMP.[1] Nicorandil inhibits tension in vascular (rabbit portal vein) with an IC50 of 1.3 µM.[2] Nicorandil reduces postischemic contractile dysfunction produced by a brief period of ischemia (myocardial stunning). Nicorandil significantly reduces mean aortic blood pressure (BP) and the rate-pressure product (RPP) which persists throughout the occlusion period. In addition, nicorandil markedly accelerates recovery of segment shortening in the ischemic/reperfused region as compared with control dogs.[3] Nicorandil (30 µM) abolishes early after depolarizations (EADs) provoked by superfusion with Tyrode solution containing 2.7 mM K+ and 3 mM Cs. Nicorandil produces significant hyperpolarization only when automaticity occurred from the depolarized level of potential.[4] Nicorandil increases coronary blood flow predominantly.[5]

Protocols

In vivo: Nicorandil is dissolved in 0.9% NaC1 to give a concentration of 100 mM.[5]
