Abstract

A cromakalim analogue, SR 44866, is shown to open ATP-sensitive K+ channels in ventricular myocytes. The channels opened by SR 44866 were closed by internal ATP and had the same current-voltage relationship as ATP-sensitive K+ channels; channels closed by ATP could be opened by SR 44866. SR 44866 was effective when applied to either side of excised membrane patches and when included in the pipette during cell-attached membrane recordings. SR 44866 also opened channels in cell-attached membrane patches when it was applied to the cell membrane outside of the pipette. The current evoked by SR 44866 in whole cell recordings was inhibited by tolbutamide. SR 44866 reduced the duration of action potentials and the amplitude and duration of evoked muscle contractions in guinea pig papillary muscle, with dissociation constants of 6.8 microM at 24 degrees C and 1.9 microM at 34 degrees C and Hill coefficients of 1.72 and 1.71, respectively. We conclude that the opening of ATP-sensitive K+ channels has profound inhibitory effects on the electrical and mechanical activity of cardiac muscle.
