摘要
Local anesthetics and arrhythmic drugs induce both tonic and phasic blockade of voltage-dependent sodium channels in the neuronal membrane. The phasic blockade of molecular receptors depends on their previous activity and, thus, is qualified as use-dependent. Concentrations of the above-mentioned agents necessary for the induction of phasic blockade are one or two orders smaller than those necessary for the induction of tonic blockade. The molecular mechanisms underlying use-dependent blockade remain unstudied. We examined the effect of a novel analgesic, D57, a pyrrole imidazole derivative, on sodium channels in neurons of the rat sensory ganglia (the above blocker demonstrates the effects of both types). Concentrations providing 50% blocking of sodium currents in the resting state (tonic blocking) were 360 +/- 18 and 420 +/- 27 mu M, while the Hill coefficients were 1.87 +/- 0.09 and 1.41 +/- 0.1 for tetrodotoxin-sensitive (D cent D cent Dyen-S) and tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) sodium currents, respectively. Parameters of inactivation of the channels of both types changed significantly upon application of D57. For example, alterations of the voltage of half-inactivation (Delta V (0.5)) in the presence of 250 mu M D57 were -11.2 +/- 0.4 and -16.7 +/- 0.5 mV for D cent D cent Dyen-S and TTX-R sodium currents, respectively. After approximation of the Delta V0.5 shifts in solutions containing different concentrations of D57 with the use of the modified Bean equation, we obtained a mean power equal to 2.2 +/- 0.3. Analysis of the dependence of macroconstants of the blockade on the membrane potential and the frequency of stimulating impulses showed that, in the case of a shift of the potential from -120 to -80 mV, the constant of dissociation of D57 from channel molecules decreased 10 times, while the efficiency of the blockade of currents demonstrated only a 4.5-fold enhancement. An increase in the stimulation frequency from 0.5 to 3.3 sec(-1) led to a 30-fold rise in the rate constant of the direct reaction (K (on) ), whereas the reverse reaction rate (K (off) ) increased 2.5 times. Analysis of the kinetics of the blockade using the Chernov model showed that a change in the stimulation frequency from 0.5 to 3.3 sec(-1) led to an increase in the rate of association of the analgesic with sodium channels at the membrane potential of -120 mV, while dissociation at the potential of -80 mV was intensified two to three times. At the potentials of -80 mV and -120 mV, association and dissociation were accelerated 15-20 and 5-6 times, respectively. A probable molecular mechanism underlying phasic blockade is discussed. We hypothesize that phasic blockade is based on the formation of a planar structure under conditions of interaction of the corresponding aromatic groupings in the molecules of pharmacological agents with a certain phenyl residue of polypeptide chains of sodium channel alpha subunits (aromatic-aromatic interaction).
