title: Modulation of the Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of synaptosomal plasma membrane by the local anesthetics dibucaine and lidocaine.
abstract: It has been previously shown that local anesthetics inhibit the total Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of synaptosomal plasma membranes. We have carried out kinetic studies to quantify the effects of these drugs on the different Ca2(+)-dependent and Mg2(+)-dependent ATPase activities of these membranes. As a result we have found that this inhibition is not altered by washing the membranes with EDTA or EGTA. We have also found that the Ca2(+)-dependent ATPase activity is not significantly inhibited in the concentration range of these local anesthetics and under the experimental conditions used in this study. The inhibition of the Mg2(+)-dependent ATPase activities of these membranes was found to be of a noncompetitive type with respect to the substrate ATP-Mg2+, did not significantly shift the Ca2+ dependence of the Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase activity, and occurred in a concentration range of local anesthetics that does not significantly alter the order parameter (fluidity) of these membranes. Modulation of this activity by the changes of the membrane potential that are associated with the adsorption of local anesthetics on the synaptosomal plasma membrane is unlikely, on the basis of the weak effect of membrane potential changes on the Ca2+,Mg2(+)-ATPase activity. It is suggested that the local anesthetics lidocaine and dibucaine inhibit the Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase of the synaptosomal plasma membrane by disruption of the lipid annulus.
