✦ Synopsis
Pinacidil dose-dependently decreased blood pressure in normotensive, renal hypertensive, spontaneously hypertensive, and neurogenic hypertensive rats; in anesthetized cats; and in normotensive and renal hypertensive dogs by a mechanism associated with decreased total peripheral resistance and reflex tachycardia. Pinacidil was 2-4-fold more potent as an antihypertensive than hydralazine. Antihypertensive activity of pinacidil was not modified by a, p, cholinergic, or histaminergic receptor antagonists and was not associated with calcium channel blockade, activation of cyclooxygenase, or formation of the vasodilator, adenosine. In vitro, pinacidil relaxed blood vessels contracted with several agonists
