title: Presynaptic A1-purinoceptor-mediated inhibitory effects of adenosine and its stable analogues on the mouse hemidiaphragm preparation.
abstract: 1. The effect of adenosine or its stable analogues (2-chloroadenosine, CADO; 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine, NECA; and N6-cyclopentyladenosine, CPA) on the release of [3H]-acetylcholine ([3H]-ACh), and on the development of force of contraction evoked by electrical stimulation of the nerve, were studied in the mouse phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparation. Evidence was obtained that the release of ACh is subject to presynaptic modulation through presynaptic A1(P1)-purinoceptors. 2. Adenosine or its stable analogues (CADO, NECA, CPA) inhibited, in a concentration-dependent manner, both the release of ACh and the force of the indirectly elicited contraction of hemidiaphragm preparation, provided in the latter case that the margin of safety was reduced by (+)-tubocurarine or magnesium. The order of potency in reducing ACh release was CPA greater than NECA greater than CADO greater than adenosine with IC50 values of 0.08 +/- 0.01, 0.74 +/- 0.05, 9.05 +/- 0.20, and 410.2 +/- 42.5 mumol/l, respectively. The order of potency in reducing twitch tension was CPA greater than NECA greater than CADO greater than adenosine with IC50 values of 0.11 +/- 0.02, 0.48 +/- 0.03, 2.07 +/- 0.49, and 240.4 +/- 20.0 mumol/l, respectively. 3. 8-Phenyltheophylline (8-PT) antagonized the inhibitory effects of the adenosine receptor agonists on ACh release and twitch tension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
