Activation of ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels can regulate smooth muscle function through membrane potential hyperpolarization. A critical issue in understanding the role of K-ATP channels is the relationship between channel activation and the effect on tissue function. Here, we explored this relationship in urinary bladder smooth muscle (UBSM) from the detrusor by activating K-ATP channels with the synthetic compounds N-(4-benzoylphenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide (ZD-6169) and levcromakalim. The effects of ZD-6169 and levcromakalim on K-ATP channel currents in isolated UBSM cells, on action potentials, and on related phasic contractions of isolated UBSM strips were examined. ZD-6169 and levcromakalim at 1.02 and 2.63 muM, respectively, caused half-maximal activation (K-1/2) of K-ATP currents in single UBSM cells (see Heppner TJ, Bonev A, Li JH, Kau ST, and Nelson MT. Pharmacology 53: 170-179, 1996). In contrast, much lower concentrations (K-1/2 = 47 nM for ZD-6169 and K-1/2 = 38 nM for levcromakalim) caused inhibition of action potentials and phasic contractions of UBSM. The results suggest that activation of
