Description

KRN4884 is a K+ channel opener. In the presence of intracellular ATP (1 mM), KRN4884 (0.1-3 μM) activates KATP channels in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50=0.55 μM).

IC50 & Target

EC50: 0.55 μM (KATP channel)[1]

In Vitro

KRN4884 (0.3 μM) shifts the concentration-response relationship for ATP-induced KATP channel inhibition to the right and slightly upward direction without altering the slope. After either the spontaneous or Ca2+-induced channel rundown, KRN4884 (1 and 3 μM) partially restores the KATP channel activity. Furthermore, the effect of KRN4884 is augmented by the presence of uridine 5′-diphosphate (3 mM). KRN4884 activates cardiac KATP channels through not only decreasing the sensitivity of the channel to ATP but also directly stimulating the opening of the channel. KRN4884 (0.3 and 3 μM) increases the outward current in a concentration-dependent manner, and the unitary current amplitudes are similar to that of KATP channels in the ATP-free solution[1].

In Vivo

The effects of KRN4884, a novel pyridinecarboxamidine type KATP channel opener, on serum triglyceride levels are investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats. Oral administration of KRN4884 (3 mg/kg) for 10 days causes a significant reduction in serum triglyceride levels, which is comparable to that of Clofibrate (160 mg/kg). Reduction in serum triglyceride levels by KRN4884 and Clofibrate are accompanied by a reduction in triglyceride levels both in chylomicron and in very low density lipoprotein. KRN4884 treatment does not affect serum concentrations of total cholesterol and phospholipid, but increases free fatty acid levels. Rats receiving KRN4884 exhibite an increase in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity both in adipose tissue and in skeletal muscle[2].

Kinase Assay
[1]

KRN4884 is dissolved in DMSO as a 10 mM stock solution, and diluted in the bath solution. The final concentration of DMSO to which cells are exposed is less than 0.1%[1].
To quantitatively analyze the effect of KRN4884 or other compounds, channel activity is expressed as NPoi. NPoi is calculated by integrating a 5- to 15-s continuous current record during the steady effect of each drug. The concentration-response curve for KRN4884 is obtained by normalizing NPoi to that obtained by superfusing with the ATP-free bath solution, and fit to a Hill equation[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

Rats[2]
Five-week old male Sprague-Dawley (Crj; CD) rats are obtained and housed in a temperature-controlled environment with a 12 h daily light cycle with free access to water and chow (CE-2). At 6-weeks old, the animals are assigned to vehicle, Clofibrate (160 mg/kg) or KRN4884 (3 mg/kg) treatment groups. The drug is given daily, by gavage for 10 days at 2 mL/kg as a suspension in 0.5% (w/v) carboxymethyl cellulose. Systolic blood pressure is determined 1 h after administration on day 9 with the tail cu. method by use of a sphygmomanometer. Four hours after the final administration of the drug or vehicle on day 10, non-fasting blood is collected from an abdominal aorta of each rat under ether anaesthesia. Serum is provided for lipid analysis. Epididymal adipose tissue, thigh muscle, and liver are removed and weighed, then immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until use. Epididymal adipose tissue and thigh muscle are used for determining lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and the liver is used for de- termining hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activity.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
