• Abstract:

  Drugs with the opening of potassium (K+) channels, causing hyperpolization of cell membrane, possess a clinical potential. The large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channel is highly selective for K+. Activation of this channel is Ca2+ and voltage dependent. We here investigated the effects of thymol, a natural product, on ion currents in
