    Notes: Abstract The inhibition of the pacemaker current (i f) in sheep cardiac Purkinje fibres by ZD 7288 [4-(N-ethyl-N-phenylamino)-1,2-dimethyl-6-(methylamino)pyrimidinium chloride] is lost use-dependently. This disinhibition of i f was investigated by using the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. The pulse protocol consisted of a rest period (holding potential of about -50 mV, 1–10 μmol/l ZD 7288) followed by a train of test pulses (potential negative to -100 mV, stimulation frequency 0.05 Hz). At the beginning of the first test pulse there was an immediate reduction of i f but inhibition was lost during continued stimulation. Activation of i f is sigmoidal and the early delay in current activation was prolonged from 33 ms (no ZD 7288) to 424 ms (10 μmol/l ZD 7288). Therefore hardly any disinhibition occurred during short test pulses (0.5 s). During longer test pulses (5 s, -120 mV, 10 μmol/l) disinhibition developed with a time constant of about 2 s. The inhibition of i f by ZD 7288 was lost voltage-dependently. With 10 μmol/l ZD 7288 the half-maximal disinhibition occurred at -92 mV and the slope factor of the disinhibition/voltage curve (Boltzmann relation) was 4.8 mV. The voltage-dependent disinhibition could be abolished largely by extracellular application of protease (0.5 mg/ml, 7 min). After prior disinhibition, reinhibition at the holding potential (about -50 mV) followed a bi-exponential time course indicating that inhibition may be produced by a fast (τ=0.7 min) and a slow component (τ=20–30 min). Increasing ZD 7288 concentration from 1 to 10 μmol/l accelerated reinhibition, mainly by an increase of the amplitude (A) of the fast component. The ratio A fast/A sIow was 0.399 at 1 μmol/l and 2.65 at 10 μmol/1 ZD 7288. The reinhibition of i f was unchanged by shifting the holding potential from -50 mV to -20 mV Trials to wash out the effects of 10 μmol/l ZD 7288 gave two results. The inhibition of i f was slightly reversed after a wash-out of 1.5 h with drug-free solution. A second effect of the drug, the fast reinhibition, could be completely removed by washout. In summary i f is inhibited by ZD 7288 at membrane potentials at which the virtual i f gate is closed. Disinhibition occurs during long-lasting hyperpolarization but will hardly be operative in unclamped fibres under physiological conditions.

This disinhibition of i f was investigated by using the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. The pulse protocol consisted of a rest period (holding potential of about –50 mV, 1–10 μmol/l ZD 7288) followed by a train of test pulses (potential negative to –100 mV, stimulation frequency 0.05 Hz). At the beginning of the first test pulse there was an immediate reduction of i f but inhibition was lost during continued stimulation. Activation of i f is sigmoidal and the early delay in current activation was prolonged from 33 ms (no ZD 7288) to 424 ms (10 μmol/l ZD 7288). Therefore hardly any disinhibition occurred during short test pulses (0.5 s). During longer test pulses (5 s, –120 mV, 10 μmol/l) disinhibition developed with a time constant of about 2 s. The inhibition of i f by ZD 7288 was lost voltage-dependently.

    Notes: Summary This study was aimed to differentiate the action of (+)- and (±)-sotalol (10–1000 μmol/l) on membrane currents which are active during the repolarization of cardiac action potentials Effects where studied in shortened sheep cardiac Purkinje fibres with the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique Action potentials were activated at a frequency of 0.25 Hz and membrane currents at 0.03 Hz or 0.05 Hz in most experiments. Out of the currents investigated the transient outward current (ito) reacted most sensitively to (+)- and (±)-sotalol. Ito-amplitude was decreased on the average to 77% of reference at 10 μmol/l and to 53% at 1000 μmol/l (+)- or (±)-sotalol. The maximally available ito-current was decreased but the voltage-dependent control of inactivation was left nearly unchanged. The initial inwardly rectifying current (iKi), which propels the last repolarization phase of the action potential and controls resting potential to a large extent was reduced on the average to 93% of reference at 10 μmol/l and to 62% at 1000 μmol/l (+)- or (±)-sotalol. Time-dependent (delayed) outward current (iK) was on the average not affected by (+)- or (±)-sotalol up to 100 μmol/l and was decreased to 84% of reference current under the influence of 1000 μmol/l. An initial outward current, which is activated at positive membrane potentials (iinst) was not clearly affected by (+)- or (±)-sotalol at concentrations up to 1000 μmol/l Pacemaker current (if) was not influenced by the drugs up to 100 μmol/l. Only at 1000 μmol/l was the amount of available if-current decreased to 79% of reference. (The potential-dependent control of activation was not affected) Time constants of time-dependent currents ito, iK and if did not change in concentrations up to 1000 μmol/l of the drug. Action potential duration increased at (+)- or (±)-sotalol concentrations ≥ 10 μmol/l and maximal prolongation was achieved at concentrations of 100–300 μmol/l Resting potential remained nearly unchanged at these concentrations, but the membranes depolarized at 1000 μmol/l. According to our data action potential prolongation in sheep Purkinje fibres under the influence of (+)- and (±)-sotalol correlates to the drug-induced block to ito-current and inwardly rectifying iK1-current.

    Notes: Abstract  The external and internal surface area of the calcium aluminum double hydroxide [Ca2Al(OH)6] NO3 ⋅ 2H2O were hydrophobized by the anionic surfactants sodium dodecylsulfate and sodium dodecyl-benzene sulfonate. The adsorption behavior towards liquid mixtures (benzene/n-heptane and n-propanol/ toluene) was studied by determining the surface excess adsorption isotherms, the heats of immersion in these liquids, and the basal spacing, i.e. the expansion of the interlayer space. Both hydrophobic layered double hydroxides (LDHs) adsorbed n-hep-tane, benzene, toluene, and n-pro-panol between the layers with considerable increase of the basal spacing. Interlamellar swelling of the hydrophobizised LDHs in n-heptane was fundamentally different to the behavior of hydrophobized 2 : 1 clay minerals (smectites, vermiculites). The surface excess isotherms for benzene/ heptane mixtures were U-shaped and indicate preferential adsorption of benzene. Dodecylbenzene sulfonate double hydroxide preferentially adsorbed propanol from n-propanol/ toluene mixtures but the dodecyl-sulfate derivative adsorbed both compounds.

    Notes: Abstract  The multilayer adsorption on the solid/liquid interface in binary mixtures was studied by adsorption space filling with constant and variable layer thickness. Adsorption from benzene/n-heptane mixtures was examined on hydrophilic and hydro-phobic surfaces. The free enthalpy of adsorption, Δ21 G=f (x 1), was calculated from the adsorption excess isotherm by integration of the Gibbs equation. Supposing that the free enthalpy is mainly due to adsorption in the first layer, the composition of this layer can be calculated from the Δ21 G=f (x 1) function. It was established that the adsorption layer thickness in benzene/heptane mixtures increases significantly with increasing benzene content. This statement was supported by X-ray diffraction on hydrophobic clay minerals.

    Notes: Abstract In sheep cardiac Purkinje fibers concentration-dependent inhibition of transient outward current (ito) by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 3-1000 μmol/l) was recorded with the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique, and correlated effects on action potential duration measured at — 70 mV (APD-70) were investigatigated. Half-maximal inhibition of ito-amplitude occurred at 15 μmol/l 4-AP. The drug exhibited no major effect on voltage-dependent control of inactivation but reduced the maximally available ito-current. At different activation frequencies (0.05 Hz, 0.25 Hz, 1 Hz) an equal amount of ito-current, measured as percentage of the respective control, was inhibited by 4-AP. The APD-70 was on the average increased by 4-AP (3–500 μmol/l) in a concentration-dependont manner up to 151 % of control. The drug-induced prolongation, measured as percentage of the respective control, was independent of stimulation frequency (0.05 Hz, 0.25 Hz, 1 Hz). Prolongation of APD-70 was on the average more pronounced for short action potentials (APD-70〈150 ms: 169 % of reference) than for longer ones (APD-70 150–300 ms: prolongation to 117 % of reference; 500 μmol/l 4-AP; 0.25 Hz stimulation rate). Few long control signals (APD-70 〉300 ms) were shortened by 4-AP. These results indicate that inhibition of ito-current by appropriate drugs will result in a reduction of inhomogeneity of action potential duration.
