title: [Enhancement of potential-dependent inactivation of calcium channels of mollusk neurons by tolbutamide].
abstract: A two-microelectrode voltage-clamp method was used to measure a potential-dependent Ca-current (ICa) on isolated snail neurons. Tolbutamide (1-5 mmol/l) and H-8 (1-30 mumol/l), inhibitors of kinase A, caused a decrease in the peak amplitude and an acceleration of the ICa decay during a depolarizing step. In the presence of tolbutamide a slow (tau 2) time constant of the ICa decay has grown 2-3 times stronger than fast (tau 1) time constant. Curves of inactivation obtained in double-pulse experiments have shown that after tolbutamide application an inactivation of the ICa enhanced when prepulses were to +30(-)+70 mV. The results suggest that dephosphorylation of Ca(2+)-channels enhances a potential-dependent component of the ICa inactivation.
