PNU 37883 hydrochloride  (Synonyms: PNU 37883A)

PNU 37883 hydrochloride (PNU 37883A) is a selective vascular ATP-sensitive potassium (Kir6, K_ATP) channels blocker. PNU 37883 hydrochloride has diuretic effects with specific binding in kidney and vascular smooth muscle rather than in brain or pancreatic beta cells^[1][2].

In HEK-293 cells stably expressing Kir6.2/SUR1, Kir6.2/SUR2A, Kir6.2/SUR2B or Kir6.1/SUR2B, PNU-37883A inhibits four types of KATP channels, but to different extents. Inhibition of the putative smooth muscle KATP channel types, Kir6.2/SUR2B (IC50 of 15 μM) and Kir6.1/SUR2B (IC50 of 6 μM). PNU-37883A significantly inhibits currents generated by expressing Kir6.2Δ26 alone, with an IC50 of 5 μM, which was significantly increased to 38 μM when Kir6.2Δ26 is expressed with SUR2B^[1].
PNU 37883 (0.1-10 nM) hydrochloride produces a concentration-dependent attenuation of the relaxation of agmatine (100 μM) in phenylephrine- or KCl- precontracted aortic rings. However, treatment with PNU 37883 (10 nM) hydrochloride alone does not modify the vascular tone^[3].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
