摘要
Intracellular recordings were made from guinea-pig myenteric neurons. Acetylcholine (ACh), applied by iontophoresis, produced a depolarization that was blocked by hexamethonium (EC50 3.2 μM) but not by scopolamine (1 μM). MK-801 (0.3-30 μM), a non-competitive antagonist at N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, also blocked the nicotinic depolarization (EC50 = 4.5 μM). Voltage clamp measurements of membrane current showed that MK-801 (1 μM) and hexamethonium (1 μM) both produced a greater inhibition of ACh-induced inward currents at -100 mV than at -40 mV. MK-801 (10 μM) did not change the depolarization evoked by 5-HT (acting at 5-HT3 receptors) in the same neurons in which it reduced the nicotinic response by more than 70%. It is concluded that MK-801 can act as a non-competitive antagonist of nicotinic responses in myenteric neurons. © 1990.
