Small-conductance (KCa2.1-2.3) and intermediate-conductance (KCa3.1) calcium-activated K+ channels are critically involved in modulating calcium-signaling cascades and membrane potential in both excitable and non-excitable cells. Activators of these channels constitute useful pharmacological tools as well as potential new drugs for the treatment of ataxia, epilepsy, and hypertension. We here used the neuroprotectant riluzole as a template for the design of KCa2/3 channel activators that are potent enough for in vivo studies. Out of a library of 41 benzothiazoles we identified two compounds, SKA-20 (anthra[2,1-d]thiazol-2-ylamine) and SKA-31 (naphtho[1,2-d]thiazol-2-ylamine), which are 10–20 times more potent than riluzole and activate KCa2.1 with EC50s of 430 nM and 2.9 μM, KCa2.2 with EC50s of 1.9 μM, KCa2.3 with EC50s of 1.2 μM and 2.9 μM, and KCa3.1 with EC50s of 115 nM and 260 nM. Likewise, SKA-20 and SKA-31 activated native KCa2.3 and KCa3.1 channels in murine endothelial cells and the more “drug-like” SKA-31 (half-life 12 hours) potentiated endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor-mediated dilations of carotid arteries from KCa3.1+/+ mice but not from KCa3.1−/− mice. Administration of 10 and 30 mg/kg SKA-31 lowered mean arterial blood pressure by 4 and 6 mmHg in normotensive mice and by 12 mmHg in angiotensin-II-induced hypertension. These effects were absent in KCa3.1-deficient mice. In conclusion, with SKA-31 we have designed a new pharmacological tool to define the functional role of KCa2/3 channel activation in vivo. The blood pressure lowering effect of SKA-31 suggests KCa3.1 channel activation as a new therapeutic principle for the treatment of hypertension.
