    Notes: Abstract In pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, (+)-cis-decahydroquinoline 195A (5-methyl-2-propyl-cis-decahydroquinoline) and (+)-perhydro-cis-decahydroquinoline 219A (2,5-dipropyl-cis-decahydroquinoline) inhibit carbamylcholine-elicited sodium flux with IC50 values of 1.0 and 1.5 μM, respectively. Both of these decahydroquinolines appear to enhance desensitization, although apparent lack of complete removal of (+)-perhydro-cis-219A by washing complicates interpretation of the effects of that agent. A series of cis- and trans-decahydroquinolines with substituents in the 2- and 5-position also exhibit structure-dependent inhibition of carbamylcholine-elicited sodium flux in PC12 cells and all of the decahydroquinolines inhibit binding of the noncompetitive blocking agent [3H]perhydrohistrionicotoxin to muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channels in membranes fromTorpedo electroplax. The Ki values in electroplax membranes range from 1.4 to 7.9 μM, making these alkaloids comparable in potencies to the histrionicotoxins. Potencies are increased 2- to 3-fold in the presence of an agonist, carbamylcholine. The profile of activities are similar in PC12 cells and electroplax membranes. The cis- and trans-decahydroquinolines represent another class of noncompetitive blockers for acetylcholine receptor-channels with similar activity for both muscle-type and ganglionic type nicotinic receptors.

    Notes: Abstract A series of 8-methyl-5-substituted indolizidines inhibit binding of the noncompetitive blocking agent [3H]perhydrohistrionicotoxin to muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channels in membranes fromTorpedo electroplax. The Ki values range from 0.16 to 1.12 μM, making these alkaloids among the most potent ligands for this site. Unlike most noncompetitive blockers, the potencies of the 8-methyl-5-substituted indolizidines arereduced in the presence of carbamylcholine. Indolizidine 205A (8-methyl-5-(4-pentynyl)indolizidine) is unique in enhancing binding of [3H]perhydrohistrionicotoxin by 1.5-fold. The enhancement is at a maximum at 0.01 to 0.1 μM, followed by progressive inhibition with an IC50 of about 20 μM. In the presence of carbamylcholine, which itself enhances binding of [3H]perhydrohistrionicotoxin, indolizidine 205A causes only an inhibition of binding with an IC50 of about 10 μM. Indolizidines with a hydroxy substituent on the 8-methyl group have very low activity. None of the indolizidines affect binding of [125I]α-bungarotoxin to acetylcholine recognition sites. In pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, indolizidine 205A has no agonist activity, but only inhibits carbamylcholine-elicited22Na+ influx. The profile of potencies for the 8-methyl-5-substituted indolizidines is similar in electroplax membranes and PC12 cells. Indolizidines 205A and 209B (8-methyl-5-pentylindolizidine) have no apparent effect on desensitization of receptors in PC12 cells. The 5,8-disubstituted indolizidines appear to represent an atypical and potent class of noncompetitive blockers for muscle-type and ganglionic nicotinic receptor-channels.

    Notes: Abstract Nicotinic agonists stimulate22Na flux in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The stimulatory effect of carbamylcholine is maximal at 1 mM, while the stimulatory effect of nicotine and anatoxin maximize at the same level at 100 μM and 10 μM, respectively. The tertiary amines arecolone and isoarecolone have no effect on flux at 100 μM, while the methiodides at 100 μM stimulate flux to an extent similar to 1 mM carbamylcholine. Dihydro and alcohol analogues of isoarecolone methiodide have markedly smaller effects on flux. A preincubation for 2 to 20 min with carbamylcholine (2 mM), nicotine (300 μM), anatoxin (30 μM) or isoarecolone methiodide (100 μM) causes marked desensitization to a subsequent carbamylcholine-elicited stimulation of flux. d-Tubocurarine, mecamylamine, hexamethonium, and chlorisondamine inhibit carbamylcholine-elicited flux with IC50 values of 1.0, 0.8, 43, and 0.020 μM, respectively. Atropine has no effect at 1 μM, but reduces the response to carbamylcholine by 50% at 8.6 μM, presumably as a noncompetitive blocker. Other noncompetitive blockers of nicotinic acetylcholine-receptors, such as histrionicotoxins, gephyrotoxin, pumiliotoxin C, phencyclidine, bupivacaine and piperocaine, inhibit carbamylcholine-elicited stimulation of22Na flux with IC50 values from 0.3 to 1.8 μM. In contrast to d-tubocurarine, which inhibits carbamylcholine-elicited desensitization, and mecamylamine, which has no apparent effect on desensitization, chlorisondamine and certain noncompetitive blockers appear to enhance desensitization. The effects of agonists, antagonists and noncompetitive blockers at the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channel of PC12 cells are compared to their effects on binding of [125I]α-bungarotoxin to agonist-recognition sites and of [3H]perhydrohistrionicotoxin to noncompetitive blocker sites of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channel of electric ray (Torpedo) electroplax membranes. There are marked differences in relative potencies for the two types of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channel.
