Open channel and competitive block of nicotinic receptors by pancuronium and atracurium.

Abstract:

:Mouse myotubes were used to investigate effects of the nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs pancuronium and atracurium on embryonic-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels. Experiments were performed using patch-clamp techniques in combination with devices for ultra-fast solution exchange at outside--out patches. Application of 0.1 mM acetylcholine resulted in a fast current transient. When the peak amplitude was achieved, the current decayed monoexponentially due to desensitization. After application of drugs (pancuronium or atracurium), two different mechanisms of block were observed: (1) open channel block of embryonic-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels after coapplication of blocker and acetylcholine, characterized by decrease of the time constant of current decay; (2) competitive block of embryonic-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels by pancuronium or atracurium after preincubation of outside-out patches with the respective blocker. Different affinities of pancuronium (K(B) approximately 0.01 microM) and atracurium (K(B) approximately 1 microM) to embryonic-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels were observed.
