[Effect of procaine, nicotinoylprocaine and butacaine on mammalian cells in culture].
The tertiary amines, procaine and nicotinoylprocaine, cause an increase in the specific activities of two glycohydrolases, alpha-fucosidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, which are involved in membrane metabolism. The specific activity of alkaline phosphatase, a plasma membrane enzyme, is lowered in muscle cells after addition of procaine or nicotinoylprocaine to the culture medium. The specific activities of two transferases, aspartate-amino-transferase and creatine phosphokinase, are increased by 10(-5) mol/l butacaine. A combined addition of butacaine and nicotinoylprocaine causes less effects on the transferases. The specific activities of neutral alpha-glucosidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase are scarcely influenced by butacaine alone. Only butacaine and nicotinoylprocaine together lead to an increase of the activities of these hydrolases. These results suggest two different mechanism of action at least concerning these substances: 1. a specific binding of tertiary amines and 2. a coordinated mechanism on the membrane fluidity.
