Y-26763 is Kir6 (KATP) channel opener and active metabolite of Y-27152. Y-26763 protects the canine heart from a stunning injury through opening of the KATP channels. Y-26763 protects the working rat myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion injury through opening of KATP channels. Y-26763 activated K(ATP) channels in a reversible manner with a similar activity to diazoxide. Y-26763-induced inhibition of insulin release is dependent upon the activation of K(ATP) channels in human beta-cells.
