VU0134992 (755002-90-5) is a blocker of the inward rectifier potassium channel Kir4.1 (IC50 = 970 nM).1 It also inhibits Kir3.1/3.2, Kir3.1/3.4, and Kir4.2 with similar potency. VU0134992 induced diuresis, natriuresis, and kaliuresis in Sprague-Dawley rats  suggesting therapeutic blood pressure lowering potential.  It reduced polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity in cell culture and mouse explant kidney tissue.2
