Nicorandil is a small molecule KATP (Kir6) channel opener, producing relaxation of coronary vascular smooth muscle. Specific binding of Nicorandil to the C-terminus of the SUR2B K(ATP) channel generates K+ flux and hyperpolarization of the surface membran

Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
