title: Further studies on F1-ATPase inhibition by local anesthetics.
abstract: We have measured the inhibitory potencies of several local anesthetics (procaine, lidocaine, tetracaine and dibucaine) and related compounds (chlorpromazine, procainamide and propranolol) on the ATPase activities of bovine heart submitochondrial particles and purified F1 extracted from these particles. All of these agents cause inhibition of ATPase in F1 as well as in submitochondrial particles. A linear relationship is found between the log of the octanol/water partition coefficients and the log of the concentrations required for 50% inhibition of F1. Sedimentation velocity ultracentrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that 1.0 mM tetracaine caused partial dissociation of the F1 complex. Complete reversibility of the enzyme inhibitory effects was demonstrated, however. This work shows that local anesthetics can affect protein structure and enzyme activity without the mediation of lipid.
