Nicorandil, a nicotinamide derivative, is an oral antianginal drug possessing a nitrate moiety in its structure. This drug is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for various types of angina pectoris. Its structure is characterised by a dual mechanism of action. The nicotinamide moiety acts as an agonist for ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11 (KCNJ11, in complex with its regulatory subunit ABCC9) (Hambrock et al. 1999) and the nitrate group explains its nitrate-like properties (Kinoshita & Sakai 1990, Ahmed 2019).
