Biochem/physiol Actions

SKA-31 is an activator of KCa2 and KCa3.1 calcium-activated potassium channels. Its EC50 is almost identical at 2-3 μM for all KCa2 subtypes, and about 10-fold lower (260 nM) at KCa3.1 channels. It has significant blood-pressure reducing activity in experimentally hypertensive mice, suggesting potassium channel activation as a therapeutic target for hypertension.
SKA31 is an activator of KCa2 and KCa3.1 Potassium Channels, Potentiates the EDHF Response and Lowers Blood Pressure.

Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) are lipid signaling molecules that induce endothelium-dependent vasodilation. In addition, LPC suppresses acetylcholine (Ach)-induced responses. We aimed to determine the influence of LPC and LPI on hyperpolarizing responses in vitro and in situ endothelial cells

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a deadly brain tumor, with fast recurrence even after surgical intervention, radio- and chemotherapies. One of the reasons for relapse is the early invasion of surrounding brain parenchyma by GBM, rendering tumor eradication difficult. Recent studies demonstrate

Development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is associated with impaired blood flow delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the brain. Cerebrovascular endothelium regulates vasoreactivity of blood vessel networks for optimal cerebral blood flow. We tested the hypothesis that cerebrovascular endothelial

Ethanol (EtOH), the main ingredient in alcoholic beverages, is well known for its behavioral, physiological, and immunosuppressive effects. There is evidence that EtOH acts through protein targets to exert its physiological effects; however, the mechanisms underlying EtOH's effects on inflammatory

The aim of this study was to investigate the hemodynamic effects of SKA-31, an activator of the small (KCa2.x) and intermediate (KCa3.1) conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, and to evaluate its influence on endothelium-derived hyperpolarization (EDH)-KCa2.3/KCa3.1 type relaxation in isolated endothelium-intact
