JNc-440 is a potent antihypertensive agent. JNc-440 can enhance the interaction of TRPV4 and Ca2+-activated potassium channel 3 (KCa2.3) in endothelial cells. JNc-440 can also enhance vasodilation, and exerted antihypertensive effects in mice[1].

JNc-440 (1 mg/kg; IV; single dosage) improves endothelium-dependent relaxation in small resistance arteries and to lower blood pressure[1].

| Animal Model: | TRPV4-/- and wild‐type C57BL/6J mice (hypertensive induced by NOS inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine, AngII and high-salt diet)[1] |
| Dosage: | 1 mg/kg |
| Administration: | IV; single dosage |
| Result: | Increased the impaired TRPV4‐KCa2.3 interaction to improve endothelium‐dependent relaxation in small resistance arteries and to lower blood pressure. |
