Site of anticonvulsant action on sodium channels: autoradiographic and electrophysiological studies in rat brain.
The anticonvulsants phenytoin and carbamazepine interact allosterically with the batrachotoxin binding site of sodium channels. In the present study, we demonstrate an autoradiographic technique to localize the batrachotoxin binding site on sodium channels in rat brain using [3H]batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate (BTX-B). Binding of [3H]BTX-B to brain sections is dependent on potentiating allo...
متن کاملBinding of scorpion toxin to receptor sites associated with voltage-sensitive sodium channels in synaptic nerve ending particles.
Scorpion mono[‘2sIJiodotoxin binds to a single class of receptor sites associated with voltage-sensitive sodium channels in synaptic nerve ending particles (synaptosomes) with a KD of approximately 3 11~. Scorpion toxin binding is inhibited by depolarization of the synaptosomes with K+ or gramicidin or by lysis of the synaptosomes. Scorpion toxin binding is enhanced by batrachotoxin, veratridin...
متن کاملA receptor for type I antiarrhythmic drugs associated with rat cardiac sodium channels.
We assessed the effects of type I antiarrhythmic drugs on the binding of ligands to receptors on voltage-sensitive sodium channels of rat cardiac myocytes. The radioligand was [3H]batrachotoxinin A 20 alpha-benzoate ([3H]BTXB), a toxin that binds to the sodium channel. The 8 drugs tested inhibited [3H]BTXB binding in a dose-dependent fashion with IC50 values from 1.34 microM for O-demethylencai...
متن کاملRalitoline (CI-946) and CI-953 block sustained repetitive sodium action potentials in cultured mouse spinal cord neurons and displace batrachotoxinin A 20-alpha-benzoate binding in vitro.
Ralitoline and CI-953 are anticonvulsant compounds active in both maximal electroshock and kindling models of seizures with rodents. CI-953 (IC50 = 5 microM) and ralitoline (IC50 = 2 microM) both blocked sustained repetitive firing of sodium action potentials with effects on firing activity triggered by spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic potentials at higher concentrations. No effects on ionto...
متن کامل3H-batrachotoxinin-A benzoate binding to voltage-sensitive sodium channels: inhibition by the channel blockers tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin.
The sodium channel blockers tetrodotoxin (TTX) and saxitoxin (STX) and the channel activator batrachotoxin (BTX) produce their effects by binding to separate and distinct sites on the channel protein. The fact that TTX- and STX-modified sodium channels are blocked to sodium flux has precluded drawing any direct conclusions regarding the effect of TTX/STX on BTX binding based on electrophysiolog...
