System of the ATP-dependent potassium channels (K ATP ) is an important endogenous mechanism of organism protection against ischemia and hypoxia, arousing an interest in search and study of the pharmacological activators of potassium current. Review is devoted to a generalized scientific literary data justifying a wide pharmacodynamical spectrum of flocalin -a potential drug from the class of K ATP -channels activators with its features as a cardioprotector, myotropic spasmolytic, vasodilator and cerebroprotector. Results of own research showing the ability of flocalin to maintain homeostatic functions of kidneys under the conditions of water-salt loading are also represented. Taking into consideration cardiorenal continuum, pathogenetic connection between renal and cardiac pathology makes it possible to suggest an inhibitory influence of flocalin on the development of nephropathy. A prerequisite for a study of its renal effects is data concerning the mechanisms of correction the morphological, functional and biochemical pathological changes in myocardium by flocalin, which allows positioning this new activator of K ATP -channels as a perspective cardioprotector and also may give rise to a new direction in nephroprotection.Nephroprotective properties of atp-sensitive potassium channels agonist flocalin
