Abstract

A benzopyranyl derivative, KR32158, synthesized as a plausible KATP opener, has been shown to exert cardioprotective effect in vivo myocardial infarction model. Myocardial ischemia, induced by oxidative stress, mental stress and fever, result in artheroscleosis, myocardial infarction and hypertrophy. In this study, we investigated in vitro effect of KR32158 by determining whether KR32158 produce cardioprotective effect against oxidative stress-induced death in heart-derived H9c2 cells. (omitted)
