“In ring preparations of rabbit aorta exposed to calcium-free medium and then depolarized with potassium (127 mM), pinacidil , 5 x 10(-5) M and nifedipine, 10(-8) M significantly inhibited the contractions by cumulative addition of calcium.”

“ Pinacidil (100 µM) inhibited this increase in Ca2+ (85.3 ± 12.3 AU at the beginning of the experiment, 81.7 ± 11.0 AU at the end of the experiment; n = 13; P = 0.616).”
