Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report patch clamp studies of single Na+ channels from cardiac ventricular and Purkinje cells that support the hypothesis that local anesthetics can act from the outside of the membrane, and that demonstrate some aspects of their mechanism of action. Inclusion of lidocaine (0.1 mM) or QX-314 (0.5 mM), a membrane-impermeant, quaternary ammonium derivative of lidocaine, in the pipette solution for on-cell single channel recording demonstrated four important findings. (1) The open probability of the channel is reduced by drug in a use-dependent way. (2) Late openings are preferentially reduced. (3) Mean open time is shortened. (4) Hyperpolarization enhances recovery of the drug-bound channels. These findings are consistent with a hyperpolarizing shift of the transition rates for drug-bound channel. Further, we postulate that there is a drug-bound channel conformation which conducts current. At least some of the properties of local anesthetic interaction with the cardiac Na+ channels may be the result of kinetic effects mediated by binding to an external site.
