Uses
Y-26763, is a Kir6 (KATP) channel opener. It also inhibits glucose-induced insulin secretion in isolated human pancreatic β-cells in vitro. In vivo, it has shown to have hypotension activity in rats and cardioprotective properties in dogs.
Definition
ChEBI: N-[(3S,4R)-6-cyano-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl]-N-hydroxyacetamide is a 1-benzopyran.
Biological Activity
K ATP channel opener and active metabolite of Y-27152 (N-[(3S,4R)-6-Cyano-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl]-N-(phenylmethoxy)acetamide ). In vitro, causes relaxation of contracted rat aortic rings (IC 50 = 0.027 mM) and inhibits glucose-induced insulin secretion in isolated human pancreatic b-cells. In vivo, produces hypotension in spontaneously hypertensive rats and displays cardioprotective properties in dogs following systemic administration.
