The antimalarial agent mefloquine inhibits ATP-sensitive K-channels.

The antimalarial agent mefloquine inhibits ATP-sensitive K-channels.

The aim of this study was to determine whether antimalarial agents inhibit ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels and thereby contribute to the observed side-effects of these drugs. Mefloquine (10 - 100 microM), but not artenusate (100 microM), stimulated insulin release from pancreatic islets in...
