These include the non-selective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME (5 micromol/kg), the non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor meclofenamate (16 micromol/kg), the voltage-sensitive and ATP-sensitive K+-channel inhibitors, 4-aminopyridine (5 micromol/kg) and glybenclamide (10 micromol/kg), the cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 inhibitor sulfaphenazole (15 micromol/kg), the cytoskeletal fixation agent phalloidin (15 micromol/kg), the endothelin ETB receptor antagonist BQ-788 (35 micromol/kg), the bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist HOE 140 (0.5 micromol/kg), the angiotensin AT2 antagonist PD 123319 (10 micromol/kg) and the UT receptor antagonist urantide (10 micromol/kg).

The enhanced ET-1 hypotensive effect in L-NAME-treated rats was abolished by the ETB receptor antagonist BQ-788 but was unaltered by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor diclofenac, the cytochrome P450 inhibitor fluconazole, or the potassium channel blockers apamin, glibenclamide, tetraethylammonium, and 4-aminopyridine.

Patch-clamp analysis of K (+) channel currents in cultured astrocytes identified the existence of 71 +/- 6 and 161 +/- 11 pS single-channel K (+) currents that were sensitive to changes in voltage and [Ca (2+)](i) and blocked by external TEA but not by charybdotoxin, iberiotoxin, apamin, or 4-aminopyridine.
Activation of the two types of K (+) channel currents by mGluR agonists was attenuated by pertussis toxin and by inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) or cytochrome P450 arachidonate epoxygenase.

A possible role for a metabolite of cytochrome P-450 omega-hydroxylase in the initial and sustained phases of the myogenic response in cannulated rat mesenteric small arteries was studied.
Apamin, glibenclamide, 4-aminopyridine, and barium had no effect on either phase.

The resistant part of acetylcholine-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited when the carotid artery was treated with glibenclamide, a selective inhibitor of ATP-sensitive K (+) channels, 4-aminopyridine, an inhibitor of voltage-dependent K (+) channels, or charybdotoxin, an inhibitor of large and intermediate conductance Ca (2+)-activated K (+) channels, and it was significantly inhibited by tetraethylammonium, a non-selective inhibitor of Ca (2+)-activated K (+) channels and N,N-di-ethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate hydrochloride (SKF 525a), a nonselective cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase (CYP) inhibitor, or ketoconazole, a selective CYP3A inhibitor in only normal rabbits.

The effect of 17 (R),18 (S)-EETeTr was blocked by tetraethylammonium but not by 4-aminopyridine.

The acetylcholine-induced relaxation was also inhibited with tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine and charybdotoxin, but not with Ba (2+), apamin, iberiotoxin nor glibenclamide.

After the inhibition of the action voltage-dependent K (+) channels operator by 4-aminopyridine 0.1 mg/100 g b.w. , the other hyperpolarizing pathway, blood pressure declined slightly from 132.3+/-3.2 mm Hg to 116.5+/-5.0 mm Hg, P <0.05 .

RESULTS: The decrease in perfusion pressure induced by endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor was significantly attenuated by 4-aminopyridine and was abolished by a combination of 4-aminopyridine and tetraethylammonium.

Arachidonic acid-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited by glibenclamide (1 microM, ATP-dependent K (+) channel (K (ATP)) blocker), apamin and charybdotoxin (0.3 microM small (SK (Ca)) and 0.1 microM big (BK (Ca)) conductance Ca (2+)-sensitive K (+) channel blocker, respectively), and 4-aminopyridine (1 mM, voltage-dependent K (+) channel (K (V)) blocker).
