    Notes: The effects of tricyclohexyltin hydroxide (Plictran), an organotin acaricide, on 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ ATPase were studied in vitro and in vivo in rat heart ventricular membrane vesicles, primarily sarcoplasmic reticulum. There was a concentration dependent inhibition of both 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ ATPase in vivo as well as in vitro. Isoproterenol, a β-adrenergic agonist, stimulated 45Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum and this was also inhibited by Plictran. Since cardiac relaxation is mediated by β-adrenergic stimulation via Ca+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum, the inhibition of calcium pump activity by Plictran may result in alterations in cardiac Ca2+ fluxes leading to cardiac dysfunction.

    Notes: Effect of tricyclohexylhydroxytin (plictran) on Ca2+-ATPase activity was studied in rat brain synaptosomes under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Plictran inhibited basal Ca2+-ATPase activity with an IC50 value of 6 nM suggesting its interaction with calcium transport phenomenon. Plictran inhibited calmodulin (CaM) activated Ca2+-ATPase in a concentration-dependent manner. A complete reversal of calmodulin activation of Ca2+-ATPase was observed with 2-3 nM plictran. A 50 per cent decrease of CaM activated Ca2+-ATPase was observed with 0·5 nM plictran, a concentration at which no significant effect was observed on basel enzyme activity. Of all the brain fractions studied, calmodulin levels in P2 fractions alone were reduced significantly to about 75 per cent of control values in plictran treated rats. The synaptosomal Ca2+-ATPase was also decreased by 35 per cent, 42 per cent and 65 per cent in 10, 20 and 40 mg plictran kg-1 day-1 treated rats for 3 days respectively. The activity levels of Ca2+-ATPase in 10 and 20 mg plictran kg-1day-1 treated rats were restored to normal level by exogenously added calmodulin. These results suggest that plictran may disrupt synaptic function by altering calcium and calmodulin regulated processes in the central nervous system.
