Diazoxide, a white crystalline powder, serves as a valuable compound in research on blood vessels. Diazoxide′s solubility in water, ethanol, and methanol further contribute to its versatility. Additionally, Diazoxide is a benzothiadiazine derivative which functions as a selective KIR6 (ATP-dependent K+) channel activator and calcium channel blocker. As a result membrane permeability increases the flow of K+ across the membrane, which turns off voltage gated calcium channels. This inhibition in action potential causes a relaxation in smooth muscle. Studies suggest that Diazoxide acts as a peripheral vasodilator. In addition, Diazoxide is used in diabetic studies to increase glucose concentrations in plasma, inhibit the secretion of insulin by beta cells of the pancreas, increase the release of catecholamines, and hepatic output of glucose in vitro.
