An Activator of Calcium-Dependent Potassium Channels Isolated from a Medicinal Herb

Just stumbled across this in Dr Google.......

Any thoughts on this?

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7685635

 

"This natural product is the first example of a high-affinity activator of calcium-dependent potassium channels and is the most potent known potassium channel opener."

- Wow !

What is this stuff called? Potassium channel opener and natural!

 

Calcium-dependent potassium channel != voltage-gated potassium channel. Different channels, different parts of the body/brain, different applications.

Article was from 1993. Nothing to see here, sorry.
