Abstract
The expanding roles of macrophages in physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms now include normal tissue homeostasis, tissue repair and regeneration, including neuronal tissue; initiation, progression, and resolution of the inflammatory response and a diverse array of anti-microbial activities. Two hallmarks of macrophage activity which appear to be fundamental to their diverse cellular functionalities are cellular plasticity and phenotypic heterogeneity. Macrophage plasticity allows these cells to take on a broad spectrum of differing cellular phenotypes in response to local and possibly previous encountered environmental signals. Cellular plasticity also contributes to tissue- and stimulus-dependent macrophage heterogeneity, which manifests itself as different macrophage phenotypes being found at different tissue locations and/or after different cell stimuli. Together, plasticity and heterogeneity align macrophage phenotypes to their required local cellular functions and prevent inappropriate activation of the cell, which could lead to pathology. To execute the appropriate function, which must be regulated at the qualitative, quantitative, spatial and temporal levels, macrophages constantly monitor intracellular and extracellular parameters to initiate and control the appropriate cell signaling cascades. The sensors and signaling mechanisms which control macrophages are the focus of a considerable amount of research. Ion channels regulate the flow of ions between cellular membranes and are critical to cell signaling mechanisms in a variety of cellular functions. It is therefore surprising that the role of ion channels in the macrophage biology has been relatively overlooked. In this review we provide a summary of ion channel research in macrophages. We begin by giving a narrative-based explanation of the membrane potential and its importance in cell biology. We then report on research implicating different ion channel families in macrophage functions. Finally, we highlight some areas of ion channel research in macrophages which need to be addressed, future possible developments in this field and therapeutic potential.

[PMID: 28499268 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2017.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2016] [Revised: 03/28/2017] [Accepted: 03/29/2017] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
The intra-cavitary drug blockade of hERG1 channel has been extensively studied, both experimentally and theoretically. Structurally diverse ligands inadvertently block the hERG1 K+ channel currents lead to drug induced Long QT Syndrome (LQTS). Accordingly, designing either hERG1 channel openers or current activators, with the potential to target other binding pockets of the channel, has been introduced as a viable approach in modern anti-arrhythmia drug development. However, reports and investigations on the molecular mechanisms underlying activators binding to the hERG1 channel remain sparse and the overall molecular design principles are largely unknown. Most of the hERG1 activators were discovered during mandatory screening for hERG1 blockade. To fill this apparent deficit, the first universal pharmacophore model for hERG1 K+ channel activators was developed using PHASE. 3D structures of 18 hERG1 K+ channel activators and their corresponding measured binding affinity values were used in the development of pharmacophore models. These compounds spanned a range of structurally different chemotypes with moderate variation in binding affinity. A five sites AAHRR (A, hydrogen-bond accepting, H, hydrophobic, R, aromatic) pharmacophore model has shown reasonable high statistical results compared to the other developed more than 1000 hypotheses. This model was used to construct steric and electrostatic contour maps. The predictive power of the model was tested with 3 external test set compounds as true unknowns. Finally, the pharmacophore model was combined with the previously developed receptor-based model of hERG1 K+ channel to develop and screen novel activators. The results are quite striking and it suggests a greater future role for pharmacophore modeling and virtual drug screening simulations in deciphering complex patterns of molecular mechanisms of hERG1 channel openers at the target sites. The developed model is available upon request and it may serve as basis for the synthesis of novel therapeutic hERG1 activators.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nicorandil is a popular anti-anginal drug in Europe and Japan. Apart from some common adverse drug reactions (ADR), its safety is satisfactory. Several reports have suggested a link between nicorandil, gastrointestinal (GI) ulceration and fistulas. The review aims to critically appraise, synthesize and present the available evidence of all known GI ADR per anatomical location. METHODS The study complied with the PRISMA statement. Literature and pharmacovigilance databases were used to provide rate and/or calculate parameters (median age, median dose, history of symptoms, length of therapy and healing time after withdrawal of the drug). Differences in distribution of quantitative variables were analyzed via Mann-Whitney test. Correlation between quantitative variables was assessed with a Spearman's correlation coefficient. A p value <0.05 was significant. RESULTS Oral ulcerations occur in 0.2% of the subjects, anal ulcerations are present between 0.07% and 0.37% of patients. Oral and distal GI involvements are the most common ADR (28-29% and 27-31% of all GI ADR, respectively). The hepatobiliary system, the pancreas and salivary glands are not affected by nicorandil exposure. The time to develop oral ulcerations is 74 weeks among people on <30 mg/day compared to only 7.5 weeks in individuals on higher regimens (p = 0.47). There is a significant correlation between dose and ulcer healing time (Spearman's 0.525, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Ulcerative disease is a very commonly reported GI ADR. A delayed ulcerative tendency supports the hypothesis of an ulcerogenic metabolite. Nicorandil seems to act as a cause of the ulcerations, but appears to also work in synergy with other promoting factors. Whether the action of the metabolites relies on a specific mechanism or a simple chemical ulceration is still to be established.

Abstract
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(12)ClF(3)N(2)O(4)S, the thia-diazine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring of the benzothia-diazine ring system and trifluoro-phenyl group is 15.02 (7)°. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers via pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The dimers are further connected into a three-dimensional network by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
The 2H-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives are modulators of the skeletal muscle ATP-sensitive-K(+) channels (K(ATP)), activating it in the presence of ATP but inhibiting it in the absence of nucleotide. To investigate the molecular determinants for the activating/blocking actions of these compounds, novel molecules with different alkyl or aryl-alkyl substitutes at position 2 of the 1,4-benzoxazine ring were prepared. The effects of the lengthening of the alkyl chain and of branched substitutes, as well as of the introduction of aliphatic/aromatic rings on the activity of the molecules, were investigated on the skeletal muscle K(ATP) channels of the rat, in excised-patch experiments, in the presence or absence of internal ATP (10(-4) M). In the presence of ATP, the 2-n-hexyl analog was the most potent activator (DE(50) = 1.08 x 10(-10) M), whereas the 2-phenylethyl was not effective. The rank order of efficacy of the openers was 2-n-hexyl > or =2-cyclohexylmethyl >2-isopropyl = 2-n-butyl > or = 2-phenyl > or = 2-benzyl = 2-isobutyl analogs. In the absence of ATP, the 2-phenyl analog was the most potent inhibitor (IC(50) = 2.5 x 10(-11) M); the rank order of efficacy of the blockers was 2-phenyl > or = 2-n-hexyl > 2-n-butyl > 2-cyclohexylmethyl, whereas the 2-phenylethyl, 2-benzyl, and 2-isobutyl 1,4-benzoxazine analogs were not effective; the 2-isopropyl analog activated the K(ATP) channel even in the absence of nucleotide. Therefore, distinct molecular determinants for the activating or blocking actions for these compounds can be found. For example, the replacement of the linear with the branched alkyl substitutes at the position 2 of the 1,4-benzoxazine nucleus determines the molecular switch from blockers to openers. These compounds were 100-fold more potent and effective as openers than other KCO against the muscle K(ATP) channels.

Abstract
An improved synthetic method affording 4-chlorocoumarin-3-sulfonyl chloride (4) in very good yield (ca. 85%) is reported. This compound was reacted with various bidentate nucleophiles such as 2-aminopyridines and 2-aminothiazoles in order to obtain substituted pyrido- and thiazino-1,2,4-thiadiazino-benzopyranone dioxides (potential anticancer and anti-HIV agents). These reactions occurred rapidly at room temperature giving yellowish precipitates, which are insoluble in common organic solvents, making the purification process challenging. Further investigation has shown that these fused heterocycles are not stable and decompose with opening of the 1,2,4-thiadiazine ring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To define the physiologic role and hemodynamic features of nitric oxide (NO) and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent K(+) (K(ATP)) channel in canine penile erection. METHODS Mongrel dogs were anesthetized, and penile erection was induced by electrical stimulation of the pelvic nerve. Changes in the intracavernous pressure (ICP) were measured with a transducer. RESULTS The basal ICP was 12.8 +/- 5.0 mm Hg. Pelvic nerve stimulation (5 to 20 V, 5 to 15 Hz, for 1-minute intervals) significantly increased the ICP to 86.2 +/- 11.4 mm Hg (n = 5, P <0.05). Treatment with the NO synthase inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (10 mg/kg intravenously) abolished this increase (15.4 +/- 5.0 mm Hg, n = 5). Intracavernous injection of the K(ATP) channel opener cromakalim (3 and 10 microg) increased the ICP (103 +/- 14.4 mm Hg and 106 +/- 12.1 mm Hg, respectively; n = 4). This response was abolished by the prior intracavernous injection of the selective K(ATP) channel-specific blocker glibenclamide (10 mg). Glibenclamide did not affect the increase in ICP induced by electric stimulation of the pelvic nerve (88 +/- 24.2 mm Hg). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that relaxation of canine cavernous smooth muscle and penile tumescence are mediated by NO. The failure of glibenclamide to affect the increase in ICP induced by pelvic nerve stimulation suggests that ATP-dependent K(+) channels probably do not play a physiologic role in canine penile erection.

Abstract
An efficient, facile, and practical parallel combinatorial synthesis of substituted-benzoxazines under microwave irradiation was described. The procedure involved the use of a microwave oven especially designed for organic synthesis suitable for parallel synthesis of solution libraries. A demonstration 19-membered library of substituted N,N-dimethyl- and N-methyl-benzoxazine amide derivatives, structurally related to the potassium channel opener cromakalim, was generated by both conventional and microwave procedures, achieving a reduction from 7 h to 30-36 min in library generation time for the microwave approach. All the synthesized compounds were tested using the in vitro models of rat aorta and guinea pig trachea rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine and carbachol, respectively. All N,N-dimethyl amide derivatives showed a relaxant activity higher on guinea pig trachea rings than on rat aorta rings.

Abstract
Five series (ureas, thioureas, carbamates, sulfonylureas, and amides) of 4,6-disubstituted-2,2-dimethylchromans structurally related to cromakalim were prepared and evaluated, as putative ATP-sensitive potassium channel activators, on rat pancreatic islets and rat aorta rings. The biological data indicate that most compounds were, like the reference molecule cromakalim, more active on the vascular smooth muscle tissue (myorelaxant effect on 30 mM KCl induced contractions of rat aorta rings) than on the pancreatic tissue (inhibition of 16.7 mM glucose induced insulin release from rat pancreatic islets). However, some drugs (8h, 8i, 9f, 9g, 9h, and 9i) markedly inhibited insulin release and exhibited an activity equivalent or greater than that of diazoxide. Compounds 9h and 9i were also found to be more active on pancreatic beta-cells than on vascular smooth muscle cells. Last, the amide 6b was selected in order to examine its mechanism of action on vascular smooth muscle cells. Pharmacological results suggest that the compound acted as a K(ATP) channel opener. In conclusion, the present data indicate that appropriate structural modifications can generate dimethylchromans with pharmacological profiles different from that of cromakalim.

New potent mexiletine and tocainide analogues evaluated in vivo and in vitro as antimyotonic agents on the myotonic ADR mouse. Neuromuscul Disord 2004; 14:405-16.

Abstract
The antimyotonic activity of chiral derivatives of mexiletine and tocainide, selected as potent use-dependent blockers of skeletal muscle sodium channels, was evaluated in vivo acutely in myotonic ADR mice. The compounds had either aromatic (Me4 and Me6) or branched isopropyl groups (Me5 and To1) on the asymmetric centre, or had this latter one methylene apart from the amino group (Me2). Therapeutic doses of mexiletine (5-10 mg/kg) and tocainide (7-20 mg/kg) significantly reduced the long time of righting reflex (TRR), typical of ADR mice. Me4, Me5 and Me6 were 2-fold more potent than mexiletine. To1 fully normalised the TRR at 7 mg/kg. The electromyographic analysis confirmed a muscle-based activity for drug effectiveness on TRR. All the compounds reduced the myotonic hyperexcitability of intercostal muscle fibres when tested in vitro by current-clamp recordings, with a potency correlated with their action on sodium channels. On stimulus-evoked firing, the isopropyl analogues were 2-4-fold more potent than parent compounds, while the aromatic analogues were about 10-fold more potent than mexiletine. Patch-clamp recordings confirmed a normal-like pharmacological sensitivity of sodium channels of native ADR muscle fibres. Finally, the in vivo antimyotonic activity is due to the block of sodium channels and divergences with in vitro potency can be related to structure-based changes in drug pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of several agents on the established itching model in NC/Nga mice, model of atopic dermatitis-like disease, to elucidate related characteristics. The number of spontaneous scratching behaviors (the duration time is over 1.5 s) by NC/Nga mice with severe skin lesions was measured before and after administration of agents for 24 h. The scratching behavior by NC/Nga mice was significantly suppressed by administration of dexamethasone or tacrolimus, but not by chlorpheniramine maleate or cyproheptadine hydrochloride. These results suggest that this method shows a good correlation with the effectiveness of drugs prescribed for itching in humans with atopic dermatitis, and histamine and serotonin do not play an important role in causing the scratching behavior seen by NC/Nga mice. The scratching behavior was also significantly suppressed by naloxone hydrochloride, dibucaine or capsaicin. These results suggest that the scratching behavior seen in this model is caused by itching signal transmission through neural system. Furthermore, we found that theophylline, pinacidil or limaprost had scratching suppression effects in this model.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels) are heteromeric complexes of pore-forming inwardly rectifying potassium channel subunits and regulatory sulfonylurea receptor subunits. K(ATP) channels were identified in a variety of tissues including muscle cells, pancreatic beta-cells, and various neurons. They are regulated by the intracellular ATP/ADP ratio; ATP induces channel inhibition and MgADP induces channel opening. Functionally, K(ATP) channels provide a means of linking the electrical activity of a cell to its metabolic state. Shortening of the cardiac action potential, smooth muscle relaxation, inhibition of both insulin secretion, and neurotransmitter release are mediated via K(ATP) channels. Given their many physiological functions, K(ATP) channels represent promising drug targets. Sulfonylureas like glibenclamide block K(ATP) channels; they are used in the therapy of type 2 diabetes. Openers of K(ATP) channels (KCOs), for example, relax smooth muscle and induce hypotension. KCOs are chemically heterogeneous and include as different classes as the benzopyrans, cyanoguanidines, thioformamides, thiadiazines, and pyridyl nitrates. Examples for new chemical entities more recently developed as KCOs include cyclobutenediones, dihydropyridine related structures, and tertiary carbinols.

Abstract
1 New 2H-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives were synthesized and tested for their agonist properties on the ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP)) of native rat skeletal muscle fibres by using the patch-clamp technique. The novel modifications involved the introduction at position 2 of the benzoxazine ring of alkyl substituents such as methyl (-CH(3)), ethyl (-C(2)H(5)) or propyl (-C(3)H(7)) groups, while maintaining pharmacophore groups critical for conferring agonist properties. 2 The effects of these molecules were compared with those of cromakalim in the presence or absence of internal ATP (10(-4) M). In the presence of internal ATP, all the compounds increased the macropatch K(ATP) currents. The order of potency of the molecules as agonists was -C(3)H(7) (DE(50)=1.63 x 10(-8) M) >-C(2)H(5) (DE(50)=1.11 x 10(-7) M)>-CH(3) (DE(50)=2.81 x 10(-7) M)>cromak-slim (DE(50)= 1.42 x 10(-5) M). Bell-shaped dose-response curves were observed for these compounds and cromakalim indicating a downturn in response when a certain dose was exceeded. 3 In contrast, in the absence of internal ATP, all molecules including cromakalim inhibited the K(ATP) currents. The order of increasing potency as antagonists was cromakalim (IC(50)=1.15 x 10(-8) M)> or =-CH(3) (IC(50)=2.6 x 10(-8) M)>-C(2)H(5) (IC(50)=4.4 x 10(-8) M)>-C(3)H(7) (IC(50)=1.68 x 10(-7) M) derivatives. 4 These results suggest that the newly synthesized molecules and cromakalim act on muscle K(ATP) channel by binding on two receptor sites that have opposite actions. Alternatively, a more simple explanation is to consider the existence of a single site for potassium channel openers regulated by ATP which favours the transduction of the channel opening. The alkyl chains at position 2 of the 2H-1,4-benzoxazine nucleus is pivotal in determining the potency of benzoxazine derivatives as agonists or antagonists.

Abstract
1. This study reports on the identification and characterization of a 1,4-dihydropyridine analogue, 9-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydro-1,8(2H,5H)-acridinedione (A-184209) as a novel inhibitor of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels. 2. A-184209 inhibited membrane potential changes evoked by the prototypical cyanoguanidine ATP-sensitive K(+) channel opener (KCO) P1075 in both vascular (A10) and urinary bladder smooth muscle cells with IC(50) values of 1.44 and 2.24 micro M respectively. 3. P1075-evoked relaxation of 25 mM K(+) stimulated aortic strips was inhibited by A-184209 in an apparently competitive fashion with a pA(2) value of 6.34. 4. The potencies of A-184209 to inhibit P1075-evoked decreases in membrane potential responses in cardiac myocytes (IC(50)=0.53 micro M) and to inhibit 2-deoxyglucose-evoked cation efflux pancreatic RINm5F cells (IC(50)=0.52 micro M) were comparable to the values for inhibition of smooth muscle K(ATP) channels. 5. On the other hand, a structural analogue of A-184209 that lacked the gem-dimethyl substituent, 9-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydro-1,8(2H,5H)-acridinedione (A-184208), was found to be a K(ATP) channel opener, evoking membrane potential responses in A10 smooth muscle cells (EC(50)=385 nM) and relaxing aortic smooth muscle strips (IC(50)=101 nM) in a glyburide-sensitive manner. 6. Radioligand binding studies demonstrated that A-184209 displaced SUR1 binding defined by [(3)H]glyburide binding to RINm5F cell membranes with a K(i) value of 0.11 micro M whereas A-184208 was ineffective. On the other hand, both A-184209 (K(i)=1.34 micro M) and A-184208 (K(i)=1.14 micro M) displaced binding of the KCO radioligand, [(125)I]A-312110 in guinea-pig bladder membranes with similar affinities. 7. These studies demonstrate that A-184209 is a novel and structurally distinct compound that inhibits K(ATP) channels in smooth muscle with potencies comparable to glyburide. The structural overlap between DHP openers and blockers, together with their differential interaction with ligand binding sites, support the notion that both openers and blockers bind to similar or very closely coupled sites on the sulfonylurea receptor and that subtle changes in the pharmacophore itself could switch functional properties from K(ATP) channel activation to inhibition.

Abstract
A series of diphenyl-substituted heterocycles were synthesized and evaluated by electrophysiological techniques as openers of the cloned mammalian large-conductance, Ca(2+)-activated potassium (maxi-K) channel. The series was designed from deannulation of known benzimidazolone maxi-K opener NS-004 (2) thereby providing an effective template for obtaining structure-activity-related information. The triazolone ring system was the most studied wherein 4,5-diphenyltriazol-3-one 6d (maxi-K = 158%) was identified as the optimal maxi-K channel opener.

Abstract
A series of 3-aryloxindole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as activators of the cloned maxi-K channel mSlo expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes using electrophysiological methods. The most promising maxi-K openers to emerge from this study were (+/-)-3-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-indol-2-one ((+/-)-8c) and its 3-des-hydroxy analogue (+/-)-11b. The individual enantiomers of (+/-)-8c were synthesized, and the maxi-K channel-opening properties were shown to depend on the absolute configuration of the single stereogenic center with the efficacy of (-)-8c superior to that of both (+)-8c and the racemic mixture when evaluated at a concentration of 20 microM. Racemic 11b exhibited greater efficacy than either the racemic 8c or the more active enantiomer in the electrophysiological evaluation. In vitro metabolic stability studies conducted with (+/-)-8c and (+/-)-11b in rat liver S9 microsomal fractions revealed significant oxidative degradation with two hydroxylated metabolites observed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry for each compound in addition to the production of 8c from 11b. The pharmacokinetic properties of (+/-)-8c and (+/-)-11b were determined in rats as a prelude to evaluation in a rat model of stroke that involved permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO model). In the MCAO model, conducted in the spontaneously hypertensive rat, the more polar 3-hydroxy derivative (+/-)-8c did not demonstrate a significant reduction in cortical infarct volume when administered intravenously at doses ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg as a single bolus 2 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion when compared to vehicle-treated controls. In contrast, intravenous administration of (+/-)-11b at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg was found to reduce the measured cortical infarct volume by approximately 18% when compared to vehicle-treated control animals. Intraperitoneal administration of (+/-)-11b at a dose of 10 mg/kg 2 h following artery occlusion was shown to reduce infarct volume by 26% when compared to vehicle-treated controls. To further probe the effects of compounds (+/-)-8c and (+/-)-11b on neurotransmitter release in vitro, both compounds were examined for their ability to reduce electrically stimulated [3H]-glutamate release from rat hippocampal slices that had been preloaded with [3H]-glutamate. Only (+/-)-11b was able to demonstrate a significant inhibition [3H]-glutamate release in this assay at a concentration of 20 microM, providing concordance with the profile of these compounds in the MCAO model. Although (+/-)-11b showed some promise as a potential developmental candidate for the treatment of the sequelae of stroke based on its efficacy in the rat MCAO model, the pharmacokinetic profile of this compound was considered to be less than optimal and was not pursued in favor of derivatives with enhanced metabolic stability.

Abstract
Compounds in a structurally novel series of substituted 10H-benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]indole-1-carboxylic acids and related 5,10-dihydro-indeno[1,2-b]indole-1-carboxylic acids were prepared and shown to possess potent, bladder-selective smooth muscle relaxant properties and thus are potentially useful for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence. Electrophysiological studies using rat detrusor myocytes have demonstrated that prototype compound 7 produces a significant increase in hyperpolarizing current, which is iberiotoxin (IbTx)-reversed, thus consistent with activation of the large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channel (BK(Ca)).

A series of 6-substituted 2-alkylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones structurally related to 3-alkylamino-4H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides were synthesized and tested as putative K(ATP) channel openers on isolated pancreatic endocrine tissue as well as on isolated vascular, intestinal, and uterine smooth muscle. Most of the 6-halogeno-2-alkylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones were found to inhibit insulin release from pancreatic B-cells and to exhibit vasorelaxant properties. In contrast to their pyridothiadiazine dioxide isosteres previously described as more active on the endocrine than on the smooth muscle tissue, quinazolinones cannot be considered as tissue selective compounds. Biological investigations, including measurements of (86)Rb, (45)Ca efflux from pancreatic islet cells and measurements of vasodilator potency in rat aortic rings exposed to 30 or 80 mM KCl in the presence or the absence of glibenclamide, were carried out with 6-chloro- and 6-iodo-3-isopropylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones. Such experiments showed that, depending on the tissue, these new compounds did not always express the pharmacological profile of pure K(ATP) channel openers. Analyzed by X-ray crystallography, one example of quinazolinones appeared to adopt a double conformation. This only suggests a partial analogy between the 2-alkylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones and the 3-alkylamino-4H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides. In conclusion, the newly synthesized quinazolinones interfere with insulin secretion and smooth muscle contractile activity. Most of the compounds lack tissue selectivity, and further investigations are required to fully elucidate their mechanism(s) of action.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels are therapeutic targets for hypertension and diabetes. KATP channel opening elicits vasorelaxation and myocardial protection, whereas its closing stimulates insulin secretion. The cardiac KATP conductance is believed altered under diabetes. This study was to evaluate the influence of KATP channel openers and blocker on myocardial contractile dysfunction in diabetes. Adult rats were made diabetic with streptozotocin (55 mg/kg) and maintained for eight weeks. Contractile properties were studied using isolated papillary muscles in the absence or presence of KATP channel openers (BRL 38227 and pinacidil) and KATP blocker (glyburide). Experimental diabetes led to hyperglycemia, reduced growth, cardiac hypertrophy and hepatomegaly. Mechanical properties exhibited prolonged duration and reduced velocity of both contraction and relaxation in diabetic myocardium, characteristic of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Acute exposure to both KATP channel openers induced concentration-dependent negative inotropic effects (NIE) on myocardial contraction. The magnitude of the NIE was similar between the normal and diabetic groups and was fully reversible upon washout for BRL 38227 although not for pinacidil. Both KATP channel openers depressed the velocity of contraction and relaxation, whereas exerted no effect on the duration of contraction and relaxation, in myocardium from both groups. Acute exposure to glyburide, a KATP channel blocker, failed to alter any of the mechanical parameters measured. These data suggest that acute modulation of KATP channel with channel opener or blocker had little influence on diabetic cardiomyopathy, at least in the setting of multicellular preparations.

Abstract
Nicorandil is an anti-anginal agent that has been used in the United Kingdom for over 6 years and is becoming increasingly popular. It induces coronary and peripheral vasodilatation via a dualistic mode of action, mediated by the opening of potassium-ATP channels (K(ATP)) and its nitrate effect by stimulation of adenyl cyclase, with an increase in cGMP levels. Comparison to nitrates and other anti-anginal agents have shown it to be of equal efficacy in relieving ischaemic symptoms. Recent evidence suggests a role for nicorandil as a myocardial preconditioning agent but this may be limited by systemic vasodilatation. There is ongoing research into its role in improving the long-term outcome of patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD). It has been shown to be of proven efficacy in the treatment of IHD and further research will clarify other uses of this agent.

Abstract
The effect of the administration of modulators of different subtypes of K(+) channels on antinociception induced by the tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline and clomipramine was evaluated in the mouse hot plate test. The administration of the voltage-gated K(+) channel blocker tetraethylammonium (0.01-0.5 microg per mouse i.c.v. ) prevented antinociception induced by both amitriptyline (15 mg kg(-1) s.c.) and clomipramine (25 mg kg(-1) s.c.). The K(ATP) channel blocker gliquidone (0.1-1.0 microg per mouse i.c.v.) prevented antinociception produced by amitriptyline and clomipramine whereas the K(ATP) channel openers minoxidil (10 microg per mouse i. c.v.) and pinacidil (25 microg per mouse i.c.v.) potentiated tricyclic antidepressant-induced analgesia. The administration of the Ca(2+)-gated K(+) channel blocker apamin (0.1-1.0 ng per mouse i. c.v.) completely prevented amitriptyline and clomipramine analgesia. At the highest effective doses, none of the drugs used induced behavioural side effects or impaired motor coordination, as revealed by the rota-rod test, spontaneous motility or inspection activity, as revealed by the hole board test. The present results demonstrate that central antinociception induced by amitriptyline and clomipramine involves the opening of different subtypes of K(+) channels (voltage-gated, K(ATP) and Ca(2+)-gated) which, therefore, represent a step in the transduction mechanism of tricyclic antidepressant analgesia.

Abstract
In order to clarify the structural difference between active pinacidil-type potassium channel openers and a less active one, the tautomerisms of pinacidil derivatives 1-3 were investigated by NMR spectrometries. The predominant tautomer of the less active compound 3 was different from those of the active compounds 1 and 2.

Abstract
The synthesis of a novel series of 2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-4H-thieno[3, 4-e][1,2,4]thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides and their pharmacological evaluation as drugs with effects on the rat cardiovascular system are described. The compounds under study were synthesized via Curtius rearrangement of appropriate sulfamoylacylazides which, in turn, were prepared from known starting materials. In isolated rat portal vein, these thienothiadiazines, like verapamil and diazoxide, inhibited the spontaneous motility produced by KCl (20 mM). In addition, the new compounds, like verapamil and unlike diazoxide, also exhibited inhibitory effects in the same preparation when the cell membrane was depolarized by an increased extracellular KCl concentration (80 mM) and, consequently, the membrane potential approached a level close to the K(+) equilibrium potential. Further characterization of this inhibitory activity led to the identification of a selective inhibitory effect of the new compounds on KCl (80 mM)-induced 45Ca(2+) uptake in the same vascular tissue. When tested in vivo (anaesthetized normotensive rats), acute administration of verapamil, diazoxide and some of the most in vitro potent compounds in 45Ca(2+) uptake experiments produced a gradual, dose-dependent and sustained decrease in diastolic arterial blood pressure, devoid of cardiac effects. These results suggest that, like verapamil, the cardiovascular effects produced by the new thienothiadiazines seem to be due, at least in part, to a blockade of transmembrane voltage-dependent calcium channels present in vascular smooth muscle cells and not to an activation of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels. Compounds 5b, 5e and 5i have been selected for further studies as antihypertensive agents.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel openers have been shown to be a potential class of therapeutic agents for the control of cardiovascular diseases, including angina, arrhythmias, and hypertension. In this study, the pharmacological activity of 6-cyano-3S,4R-dihydro-2, 2-dimethyl-2H-3-hydroxy-4-[5S-(1-hydroxymethyl)-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl] -1-benzopyran ((-)-MJ-451), a synthetic K(ATP) opener, was evaluated in anesthetized rat models and in isolated rat thoracic rings. Results demonstrated that intravascular injection of (-)-MJ-451 (0. 02, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg) produced an immediate, dose-related reduction in mean arterial blood pressure in anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), which persisted for more than 3 h and was not accompanied by reflex tachycardia. The hemodynamic changes were completely abolished by pretreatment with glibenclamide (4 mg/kg, i.v. bolus), a selective K(ATP) channel blocker. In isolated thoracic aorta, (-)-MJ-451 (10 nM-3 microM) produced a concentration-dependent vasodilator effect on the phenylephrine (0.3 microM)-induced vasoconstriction. Moreover, (-)-MJ-451 relaxed the thoracic aorta contracted by low (5, 20 and 30 mM), but not high (40 and 60 mM) concentrations of extracellular potassium. In addition, (-)-MJ-451 showed cardioprotective effects in the rat model of 45-min left coronary artery occlusion followed by 1-h reperfusion. In myocardial ischemia, pretreatment with (-)-MJ-451 (2, 5 and 10 microg/kg, i.v. bolus) significantly reduced the incidence of ventricular fibrillation and the mortality, also reducing the total number of ventricular premature contractions, total duration of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. A significant reduction in infarct size was noted in three (-)-MJ-451 (2, 5 and 10 microg/kg)-treated groups. Also, the cardioprotective effects of (-)-MJ-451 were virtually abolished by pretreating the rats with glibenclamide (4 mg/kg, i.v. bolus). In conclusion, (-)-MJ-451, through opening the K(ATP) channel, exerted antihypertensive and cardioprotective effects. Therefore, it is suggested that (-)-MJ-451 has potential in the treatment of hypertension or acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
As part of a search for a new potassium channel opener, the 1,4-benzoxazine skeleton derived from the benzopyran skeleton of cromakalim, was transformed into other fused rings such as 1,4-benzothiazine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline, indoline, and 1,5-benzoxazepine. The 1,4-benzothiazine derivative displayed approximately 20 times more potent vasorelaxant activity than cromakalim.

Abstract
The effect of the administration of pertussis toxin as well as modulators of different subtypes of K+ channels on the antinociception induced by the H1-antihistamines pyrilamine, diphenhydramine and promethazine was evaluated in the mouse hot plate test. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (0.25 microg/mouse i.c.v.) prevented pyrilamine, diphenhydramine and promethazine antinociception. The K(ATP) channel openers minoxidil and pinacidil potentiated the antinociception produced by the H1-antihistamines whereas the K(ATP) channel blocker gliquidone prevented the anti H1-induced analgesia. The Ca2+-gated K+ channel blocker apamin antagonized pyrilamine, diphenhydramine and promethazine analgesia. Pretreatment with an antisense oligonucleotide (aODN) to mKv1.1, a voltage-gated K+ channel, at the dose of 3.0 nmol/single i.c.v. injection, never modified the antinociception induced by the H1-antihistamines in comparison with degenerate oligonucleotide (dODN)-treated mice. At the highest effective doses, none of the drugs used modified animals' gross behaviour nor impaired motor coordination, as revealed by the rota rod test. The present data demonstrate that both K(ATP) and Ca2+-gated K+ channels, contrary to voltage-gated K+ channel Kv1.1, represent an important step in the transduction mechanism underlying central antinociception induced by H1-antihistamines.

Abstract
The anti-HIV activity of a novel series of 1,1,3-trioxo-2H,4H-thieno[3,4-e][1,2,4]thiadiazines (TTDs) has been described. The compounds were synthesized via Curtius rearrangement of appropriate sulfamoylcarboxy azides which, in turn, were prepared from known starting materials. Several 4-substituted-2-benzyl-derivatives were found to selectively inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [HIV-1 (IIIB)] replication in MT-4 and CEM cells. These TTDs were also effective against other strains of HIV-1 (RF, HE, MN, NDK), including those that are resistant to AZT, but not against HIV-2 (ROD) or simian immunodeficiency virus [SIV(MAC251)] at subtoxic concentrations. Some of the test compounds exhibited antiviral activity against L100I RT mutant virus, but significantly lost antiviral activity against K103N, V106A, E138K, Y181C and Y188H RT mutant viruses. Compounds 6d, 6f and 6g were inhibitory to HIV-1 RT at concentrations that rank between 16.4 and 59.8 microM (nevirapine: IC50 = 4.5 microM against HIV-1 RT). Inhibition of HIV-1 RT by compound 6g was purely non-competitive with respect to the natural substrate (dGTP), which is in agreement with the nature of inhibition shown by other NNRTIs such as nevirapine and delarvidine. A structure-activity relationship was established for the anti-HIV activity of these heterocyclic compounds. TTDs represent a new chemical class of non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).

Abstract
We studied the effects of potassium channel openers (PCOs) on frequency dependent prolongations of action potential duration (APD), triggered activities and oscillatory action potentials (OSC) induced by E-4031 and dofetilide. The action potentials of canine Purkinje fibers were recorded by a glass microelectrode technique. The effects of E-4031 (10(-6)M) as well as that of additional nicorandil (2 x 10(-5) M) on the APD were examined. When abnormal automaticity was observed under perfusion of E-4031 (10(-5) M) or dofetilide (10(-5) M), action potentials were recorded continuously to estimate the sequential effects of additional perfusion of nicorandil (6 x 10(-5) M) or Y-26763 (10(-5) M) on triggered activities and OSC. APD prolongation by E-4031 at slower stimulation rates (cycle lengths > or = 1,000 msec) was suppressed by nicorandil in a dose dependent manner. Both nicorandil and Y-26763 abolished the train of early afterdepolarization (EAD) due to E-4031 or dofetilide with a shifting of the resting membrane potential to a more negative level. PCOs also normalized dofetilide induced abnormal automaticities (EAD, OSC). The antagonistic actions of PCOs on changes in action potential induced by class III antiarrhythmic agents may prevent the development of proarrhythmias produced by these agents.

Abstract
We pharmacologically investigated the potential involvement of nitric oxide (NO), prostacyclin, adenosine, adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K (K(ATP)) channel opening and Ca2+-activated K (K(Ca)) channel opening in coronary vasodilatation during 15 min of hypoxia in isolated rat hearts perfused at a constant pressure of 70 mm Hg. The coronary flow suppressed by 10(-4) M Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), which corresponds to the NO-dependent flow, decreased to almost zero during hypoxia. In contrast, the NO-dependent coronary flow amounted to approximately 40% of the total coronary flow during normoxia. The suppression of coronary flow by 10(-5) M 8-phenyltheophylline (8-PT), which corresponds to the adenosine-dependent flow, was remarkable in the middle and the late phases of a 15-min hypoxia. The coronary flow suppressed by 2 x 10(-6) M glibenclamide, which corresponds to the K(ATP) channel opening-dependent flow, depended on the agents added to the perfusate. However, there was a marked increase in coronary flow in the early phase of hypoxia in the heart perfused with the combination of 8-PT, 10(-2) M tetraethylammonium (TEA) and L-NAME. During hypoxia, the coronary flow suppressed by TEA, which corresponds mainly to the K(Ca) channel opening-dependent flow, also depended on the agents added to the perfusate. However, during reoxygenation, there was a transient significant increase in any combination of the agents. Our study suggests that hypoxia almost completely inhibits NO production, and that K(ATP) channel opening immediately after hypoxia and subsequent enhanced adenosine production cause a marked hypoxic coronary vasodilatation. It also suggests that K(Ca) channel opening causes vasodilatation during reoxygenation.

Abstract
1. The effect of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of different potassium channel blockers (tetraethylammonium, apamin, charybdotoxin, gliquidone), potassium channel openers (pinacidil, minoxidil, cromakalim) and aODN to mKv1.1 on immobility time was evaluated in the mouse forced swimming test, an animal model of depression. 2. Tetraethylammonium (TEA; 5 microg per mouse i.c.v.), apamin (3 ng per mouse i.c.v.), charybdotoxin (1 microg per mouse i.c.v.) and gliquidone (6 microg per mouse i.c.v.) administered 20 min before the test produced anti-immobility comparable to that induced by the tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline (15 mg kg(-1) s.c.) and imipramine (30 mg kg(-1) s.c.). 3. By contrast pinacidil (10-20 microg per mouse i.c.v.), minoxidil (10-20 microg per mouse i.c.v.) and cromakalim (20-30 microg per mouse i.c.v.) increased immobility time when administered in the same experimental conditions. 4. Repeated administration of an antisense oligonucleotide (aODN) to the mKv1.1 gene (1 and 3 nmol per single i.c.v. injection) produced a dose-dependent increase in immobility time of mice 72 h after the last injection. At day 7, the increasing effect produced by aODN disappeared. A degenerate mKv1.1 oligonucleotide (dODN), used as control, did not produce any effect in comparison with saline- and vector-treated mice. 5. At the highest effective dose, potassium channels modulators and the mKv1.1 aODN did not impair motor coordination, as revealed by the rota rod test, nor did they modify spontaneous motility as revealed by the Animex apparatus. 6. These results suggest that modulation of potassium channels plays an important role in the regulation of immobility time in the mouse forced swimming test.

Abstract
1. The effect of the administration of pertussis toxin (PTX) as well as modulators of different subtypes of K+ channels on the antinociception induced by clonidine and guanabenz was evaluated in the mouse hot plate test. 2. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (0.25 microg per mouse i.c.v.) 7 days before the hot-plate test, prevented the antinociception induced by both clonidine (0.08-0.2 mg kg(-1), s.c.) and guanabenz (0.1-0.5 mg kg(-1), s.c.). 3. The administration of the K(ATP) channel openers minoxidil (10 microg per mouse, i.c.v.), pinacidil (25 microg per mouse, i.c.v.) and diazoxide (100 mg kg(-1), p.o.) potentiated the antinociception produced by clonidine and guanabenz whereas the K(ATP) channel blocker gliquidone (6 microg per mouse, i.c.v.) prevented the alpha2 adrenoceptor agonist-induced analgesia. 4. Pretreatment with an antisense oligonucleotide (aODN) to mKv1.1, a voltage-gated K+ channel, at the dose of 2.0 nmol per single i.c.v. injection, prevented the antinociception induced by both clonidine and guanabenz in comparison with degenerate oligonucleotide (dODN)-treated mice. 5. The administration of the Ca2+-gated K+ channel blocker apamin (0.5-2.0 ng per mouse, i.c.v.) never modified clonidine and guanabenz analgesia. 6. At the highest effective doses, none of the drugs used modified animals' gross behaviour nor impaired motor coordination, as revealed by the rota-rod test. 7. The present data demonstrate that both K(ATP) and mKv1.1 K+ channels represent an important step in the transduction mechanism underlying central antinociception induced by activation of alpha2 adrenoceptors.
