Diazoxide and perhaps other K channel openers were initially suggested to be cardioprotective via a mechanism involving a mitoK channel rather than a s

involved in cardioprotection were begun. Pharmacologic cardioprotection and non-pharmacologic cardioprotection using IPC were compared: both were
cardioprotective, and the cardioprotection initially appeared to be inhibited in the presence of a selective mitoK channel blocker, 5-hydroxydecanoate .

Additionally, when a mitoK channel blocker was added to isolated hearts with either diazoxide or IPC, this abolished the improvement in contractility after

ischemia that had been afforded by diazoxide but not by IPC, suggesting that a mitoK was critical for diazoxide’s mechanism but not for IPC . In line with

these findings, a later study using genetic deletion found that diazoxide’s cardioprotection was not due to action at a sK channel .

Ultimately, the molecular mechanism of action at a proposed mitoK channel remains unknown. Potential mechanisms largely focus on the mitochondria
