We investigated the effects of curcumin, the principal active compound of turmeric, on voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels in freshly isolated rabbit coronary arterial smooth muscle cells using the voltage-clamp technique. Curcumin reduced the Kv current in a dose-dependent manner with an apparent K-d value of 1.07 +/- 0.03 mu M. Although curcumin did not alter the kinetics of Kv current activation, it predominantly accelerated the decay rate of channel inactivation. The association and dissociation rate constants of curcumin were 1.35 +/- 0.05 mu M-1 s(-1) and 1.47 +/- 0.17 s(-1), respectively. Curcumin did not alter the steady-state activation or inactivation curves. Application of train pulses (1 or 2 Hz) increased curcumin-induced blockade of the Kv current, and the recovery time constant also increased in the presence of curcumin suggesting, that the inhibitory action of Kv currents by curcumin was use-dependent. From these results, we concluded that curcumin inhibited vascular Kv current in a state-, time-, and use-dependent manner. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
