'''Diazoxide''' is a [[potassium channel]] activator, which causes local relaxation in [[smooth muscle]] by increasing membrane [[Semipermeable membrane|permeability]] to potassium [[ion]]s. This switches off voltage-gated [[calcium]] ion channels which inhibits the generation of an [[action potential]].
 
It is used as a [[vasodilator]] in the treatment of acute [[hypertension]], and also to decrease the secretion of [[insulin]] in disease states such as [[insulinoma]] (a tumor producing insulin).
