19406003 Alda JO, Valero MS, Pereboom D, Gros P, Garay RP: Endothelium-independent vasorelaxation by the selective alpha estrogen receptor agonist propyl pyrazole triol in rat aortic smooth muscle. J Pharm Pharmacol. 2009 May;61(5):641-6.

KEY FINDINGS: PPT vasorelaxation was largely reduced by the selective ERalpha antagonist methyl-piperidinopyrazole (MPP; -91.6+/-2.5%), by the selective PKG inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cGMP (-78.6+/-4.9%), by the specific soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ (1H-(1,2,4)-oxadiazolo [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one; -85.3+/-5.2%) and to a lesser extent by the selective BKCa (large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium channel) inhibitor iberiotoxin (-59.3%), the selective IKCa (intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel) inhibitor TRAM-34 (1-[(2-chlorophenyl) diphenylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole; -50.7%) and the voltage-gated potassium channel inhibitor 4-aminopyridine (-40.8%).

12684258 Hinton JM, Langton PD: Inhibition of EDHF by two new combinations of K+-channel inhibitors in rat isolated mesenteric arteries. Br J Pharmacol. 2003 Mar;138(6):1031-5.

It is widely established that in rat mesenteric arteries, endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-mediated relaxation evoked by acetylcholine is abolished by a combination of charybdotoxin plus apamin. 4-Aminopyridine, an inhibitor of voltage-gated (Kv) K (+)-channels, in combination with apamin had moderate effects on the EDHF-mediated relaxation.
EDHF-mediated vasorelaxation and hyperpolarization was abolished by a combination of TRAM-39 and apamin.

Inhibition of voltage-gated K+ channels with 4-aminopyridine or margatoxin partially inhibited MCP-1- and LPC-stimulated migration of monocytes.
Blockade of Ca2+-activated K+ channels with TRAM-34 also partially reduced migration of MCP-1- and LPC-stimulated monocytes.

Again, both clotrimazole and TRAM-34 significantly reduced A23187- or 1-EBIO-induced I (sc) and DMBS.
Tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine, and BaCl (2) failed to inhibit CCh-induced I (sc) and DMBS.

Ryanodine, charybdotoxin and TRAM-34, but not iberiotoxin, 4-aminopyridine or apamin, each depolarized SMCs and increased the frequency of rhythmical depolarizations and [Ca (2+)](i) oscillations.

The piceatannol-induced relaxation was also blocked by raising the extracellular K (+) (45 mM), 4-aminopyridine (voltage-sensitive K (+) channel blocker) and tetraethylammonium [the non-selective Ca (2+)-activated K (+) (K (Ca)) channel blocker] but not by indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor), atropine (muscarinic receptor antagonist), propranolol (beta-adrenoceptor antagonist), verapamil and nifedipine (L-type voltage-gated Ca (2+) channel blocker), barium chloride (inward rectifier K (+) channel inhibitor) and glibenclamide (ATP-sensitive K (+) channel blocker).
