Binding experiments with SUR2A were performed as shown in Fig. 7. Logistic equation (see Experimental Procedures) was fitted to individual competition curves (n = 4) yielding pIC50, amplitudes (≈100% with exception of minoxidil sulphate, see below) and Hill coefficients nH (≈1). pIC50 values were corrected for presence of the radiolabel according to equation of Cheng-Prusoff which, on logarithmic scale, corresponded to addition of 0.07. Data for SUR2B are from Hambrock et al. (1998) with exception of values for nicorandil and (−) pinacidil, which were determined in this study. pKi values in rat heart microsomes are from Löffler-Walz and Quast (1998) with a Cheng-Prusoff correction of 0.06, and, those for rat aortic strips from Quast et al., 1993. Temperature was 37°C in all cases. In all four preparations, minoxidil sulfate inhibited [3H]P1075 binding only by 68 to 75%.
