Tifenazoxide is an effective and SUR1 Kir6.2 selective KATP channels opener. Tifenazoxide has an anti-diabetic effect, can inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin release in vitro and in vivo.
VU041 is an inhibitor of Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti inward rectifier potassium 1 channels (IC50: 2.5 μM and 1.7 μM, respectively). VU041 inhibits appreciably is mammalian Kir2.1 (IC50: 12.7 μM) and has less inhibitory effect on mammalian Kir1.1, Kir4.1, Kir6.2 SUR1, and Kir7.1.
rac-trans-4-hydroxy Glyburide is an active metabolite of the SUR1 Kir6.2 sulfonylurea inhibitor glyburide .1,2It is formed from glyburide by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP2C8 and CYP2C9.1rac-trans-4-hydroxy Glyburide inhibits glyburide binding to rat brain synaptosomes at the high and low affinity sites of SUR1 Kir6.2 with IC50values of 0.95 and 100 nM, respectively.2 1.Zharikova, O.L., Fokina, V.M., Nanovskaya, T.N., et al.Identification of the major human hepatic and placental enzymes responsible for the biotransformation of glyburideBiochem.
