    Notizen: Summary 1. Pairs of smooth muscles isolated from the nictitating membrane of reserpine-pretreated cats were incubated four times with 1.2 ml of Krebs' solution containing 10 ng/ml of 3H-(±)-noradrenaline for 7.5 min each (in the presence of ascorbic acid and EDTA to prevent autoxidation and of U-0521 to block COMT). The appearance of deaminated 3H-catechols in the bath was measured and regarded as a measure of neuronal uptake. 2. Cocaine caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the rate of deamination; the ID50 was 5.62 μM. 3. Cocaine caused a concentration-dependent increase in responses of the isolated muscles to 0.059 μM (−)-noradrenaline with a maximum increase of about 115 times normal. 4. The results were applied to the model proposed by Maxwell et al. (1966). The agreement between the expected and observed relationship between rate of uptake and degree of supersensitivity was satisfactory. Apparently, the effect of cocaine on the nictitating membrane is predominatly or entirely prejunctional. 5. The results indicate that the true K m for noradrenaline and the true K i for cocaine are considerably smaller than the apparent Km and Ki values obtained with conventional methods.

    Notizen: Summary 1. Pairs of smooth muscles isolated from the nictitating membrane of the cat were incubated with 1.2 ml of Krebs' solution containing 10 ng/ml of 3H-(±)-noradrenaline for 7.5 min (in the presence of U-0521 to inhibit COMT). Removal of the amine from the bath as well as the appearance of deaminated 3H-catechols in the bath were measured. 2. Pretreatment with reserpine did not affect the rate of removal, while increasing the rate of deamination. The ability of the muscles to retain exogenous amine for one hour was reduced to 12% of normal. 3. A certain fraction of the total production of deaminated 3H-catechols escaped into the medium. For any given duration of incubation this fraction was independent of the concentration of noradrenaline in the medium. On repeated incubation the fraction remained constant. Therefore, reliable estimates of the rate of deamination were obtained with repeated incubations of the same muscle. 4. Sympathetic denervation and/or cocaine revealed that 60% of removal (of which 10% are due to dilution) and 25% of deamination are extraneuronal. 5. For incubations of 7.5 min measured rates of deamination represent initial rates, measured rates of removal do not. 6. Unlabelled (−)- and (+)-noradrenaline were equipotent (ID50=about 1 μM) in inhibiting the deamination of 10 ng/ml of 3H-(±)-noradrenaline. This inhibitory effect must be exerted on neuronal deamination, since extraneuronal deamination (in denervated muscles) was not affected by the addition of unlabelled isomers. 7. It is proposed that, under these experimental conditions, neuronal unptake is the rate limiting step for neuronal deamination, and that neuronal uptake in the cat's nictitating membrane lacks stereoselectivity.

    Notizen: Summary The sensitivity of various isolated organs to catecholamines was tested before and after block of catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) by U-0521 (3′,4′-dihydroxy-2-methyl propiophenone; 18 μg/ml for 20 min). Isolated Nictitating Membrane of the Cat. The sensitivity to catecholamines was increased by inhibition of COMT whenever the experimental conditions resulted in a high potency of the amine, i.e., when the ED50 of the amine (in the absence of U-0521) was below about 10−6 M. Thus, block of COMT potentiated the effects of (−)-noradrenaline and (−)-adrenaline after denervation (or in the presence of cocaine) but not on muscles with an intact adrenergic innervation; it also increased the sensitivity to theβ-effects but not to theα-effects of isoprenaline. No potentiation was observed for dopamine which has a low potency even after denervation. The relation between potency of the catecholamine and the degree of the sensitizing effect of U-0521 was not due to saturation of COMT or of access to the enzyme. Measurements in denervated muscles of the production of O-methylated metabolites from (±)-noradrenaline-H3 (added to the bath for 20 min in concentrations of about 10−7 to 10−4 M), and of the extraneuronal accumulation of noradrenaline-H3 did not reveal any saturation of either the enzyme or the extraneuronal accumulation of the amine. When block of COMT resulted in supersensitivity to a catecholamine, the time required to reach steady-state responses was usually increased. This is consistent with the view that block of the enzyme impaired a site of loss. Block of COMT failed to produce any substantial potentiation of the effects of the indirectly acting amines, tyramine and mephentermine. O-methylation of the released transmitter seems to occur after the amine has reached the receptors of the effector cells. Isolated Strips of Cat and Bat Spleen. Results were quantitatively similar, since block of COMT potentiated the effects of (−)-noradrenaline and (−)-adrenaline in the presence but not (or only very little) in the absence of cocaine. However, the degree of supersensitivity after block of COMT (in the presence of cocaine) was smaller than in the nictitating membrane. In the cat spleen, cocaine causes a small but significant degree of supersensitivity to isoprenaline but not to methoxamine. Isolated Sat Aorta, Block of COMT did not increase the effect of cocaine. It is suggested that differences in the morphology of the adrenergic innervation contribute to the observed organ differences.

    Notizen: Summary 1. The metabolism of 3H-(-)- and 3H-(±)-noradrenaline (NA) was studied in the isolated rat vas deferens either under conditions of uptake or of efflux of the amine. Any differences obtained between 3H-(-)-and 3H-(±)NA as substrate were interpreted as being a reflection of differences between the two isomers of the amine. 2. Uptake experiments (0.13 μM; 7.5 min) showed that neuronal mechanisms of amine disposition prevail over extraneuronal ones. Thus, most of the metabolites of 3H-NA formed during incubation with the amine (including the O-methylated products) were of neuronal origin. The acid deaminated metabolite 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA), tended to be much better retained by the tissue than the neutral deaminated metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (DOPEG). While neuronal uptake exhibited no stereoselectivity, a pronounced stereoselectivity was found for monoamine oxidase (MAO) [(-)NA〉 (+)NA] as well as for the enzymes which are in series with MAO, namely, aldehyde reductase and aldehyde dehydrogenase [(-)DOPEG〉 (+)DOPEG; (-)DOMA 〈(+)DOMA]. 3. After about 2 h of washout, the efflux of radioactivity from the tissue [which was previously incubated for 30 min with 1.2 μM of either 3H-(-)- or 3H-(±)NA] originated from one neuronal compartment with no stereoselectivity of the rate constant for the efflux of total tritium. The rate-limiting step for the neuronal efflux of tritium resided either in the net efflux of amine from the storage vesicles (normal tissues) or in the net efflux across the axonal membrane (tissues with the amine metabolizing enzymes inhibited). The effects of cocaine and phenoxybenzamine on the neuronal efflux of tritiated compounds strongly depended on the intraneuronal distribution of the 3H-amine. The results indicate that cocaine has only one site of action (neuronal uptake), while phenoxybenzamine exerts reserpine-like as well as cocaine-like effects. 4. The neuronal efflux of tritium from normal tissues preloaded with 3H-(-)- or 3H-(±)NA consisted mainly of amine metabolites (90% of the total; most of this was DOPEG). Since after 2 h of washout the tissue contained hardly any metabolites, these metabolites did not represent pre-formed metabolites (formed during the period of preloading) but newly formed metabolites resulting from the catabolism of the neuronally stored amine. This catabolism was brought about through the activity of presynaptic enzymes and was stereoselective in that more DOPEG, less DOMA and less O-methylated metabolites were formed from (-)-than from (+)NA.

    Notizen: Summary 1. Vasa deferentia obtained from reserpine-pretreated rats were incubated (under conditions of inhibition of both monoamine oxidase and catechol O-methyltransferase) in medium containing various concentrations of 3H-(−)noradrenaline (1.25–30.25 μmol·l−1) and Na+ (0–143 mmol·l−1; isosmolality maintained by Tris+). Initial rates of neuronal uptake (v i ) were determined in each single vas from the difference between the uptake of noradrenaline occurring in the absence and that occurring in the presence of 100 μmol·l−1 cocaine. 2. The uptake of noradrenaline observed after exposure to cocaine was virtually identical with that observed after incubation in Na+-free medium (containing or not containing cocaine). Under these experimental conditions, 70% of the uptake was due to extracellular distribution of the amine, and not only this part of uptake, but also the remaineder was linearly related to the noradrenaline concentration in the medium. 3. The neuronal uptake of noradrenaline showed saturation with increasing concentrations of noradrenaline or Na+. When determined at several fixed concentrations of Na+ (or noradrenaline), the plots of 1/v i vs. 1/[noradrenaline] (or 1/[Na+]) were all linear and intersected at a common point to the left of the ordinate and above the abscissa. Increases in the fixed concentration of Na+ (or noradrenaline) progressively increased the apparent V max and progressively decreased the apparent K m of the system for noradrenaline (or Na+). Moreover, the vertical intercept (1/apparent V max) and the slope (apparent ratio of K m /V max) of the Lineweaver-Burk plots were linearly related to the reciprocal of the concentration of the “fixed” substrate. 4. Thus, the neuronal uptake mechanism exhibits the kinetic properties of a two-substrate sequential reaction in which both noradrenaline and Na+ (1:1) must bind to the carrier for transport of noradrenaline to occur and in which noradrenaline and Na+ act as mutually cooperative co-substrates.

    Notizen: Summary 1. Vasa deferentia obtained from reserpine-pretreated rats were incubated (after inhibition of both monoamine oxidase and catechol O-methyltransferase) in media containing 1.1 μmol·l−1 3H-(−)noradrenaline and various concentrations of Na+ (0–140 mmol·l−1; isosmolality maintained by sucrose or by several monovalent cations). Initial rates of neuronal uptake were determined in each single vas from the difference between “total” and “cocaine-resistant” uptake of 3H-noradrenaline. 2. The “cocaine-resistant” uptake (i.e., the distribution of 3H-noradrenaline observed in the presence of 100 μmol·l−1 cocaine) was considered to be nonneuronal. It was entirely independent of both the external Na+ concentration and the substance used to replace Na+ (or NaCl) in the medium. 3. The neuronal uptake of 3H-noradrenaline was virtually absent in Na+-free medium and was progressively stimulated by increasing Na+ concentrations. The stimulation of uptake by low Na+ concentrations was most pronounced when Tris+ was used to replace Na+; i.e., all other substitutes tested here (including sucrose, Li+, choline+ and K+) inhibited neuronal uptake when compared with Tris+. 4. While the Na+-dependent stimulation of neuronal uptake followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics in Tris+- or Li+-containing media, the kinetics of uptake stimulation by Na+ were rather complex in media containing choline+ or K+ as the substitute cation. 5. Li+ and K+ acted as competitive inhibitors with respect to Na+, whereas the inhibition of neuronal uptake by choline+ was the more pronounced, the higher the concentration of external Na+. 6. At concentrations higher than 25 mmol·l−1, the impairment of neuronal uptake by K+ exceeded that predictable from competitive inhibition of the action of Na+. This was due to the fact that high external K+ concentrations decelerated net uptake very early in the time course of amine accumulation, so that initial rates of uptake are likely to be underestimated under these conditions. 7. Thus, apart from maintaining isosmolality, several substances used to replace Na+ in the medium have inhibitory effects which must be considered in experiments designed to examine the role of Na+ in membrane transport of noradrenaline.
