The sodium channel-specific agent batrachotoxin (BTX) has been shown to induce a time- and concentration-dependent depolarization of a vesicular preparation from guinea pig cerebral cortex. The K0.5 for depolarization by BTX was 0.011 microM at 30 min. Membrane potential was determined by the equilibrium distribution of [3H]triphenylmethylphosphonium ion. A series of seven local anesthetics was shown to inhibit BTX-induced depolarization competitively with Ki values ranging from 0.9 microM for dibucaine to 780 microM for lidocaine ethiodide. The specific binding of labeled batrachotoxinin-A 20 alpha-benzoate ([3H]BTX-B) to voltage-sensitive channels in vesicular preparations from mouse cerebral cortex in the presence of scorpion venom was measured and found to yield a range of Kd values from 25 to 30 nM and Bmax values of 0.5 and 1.0 pmole/mg of protein; the same preparation from guinea pig cerebral cortex was found to yield Kd values from 13 to 56 nM and Bmax values of 0.8-2.2 pmoles/mg of protein. A series of 14 local anesthetics was shown to inhibit the specific binding of [3H]BTX-B with Ki values ranging from 0.6 microM for dibucaine to 400 microM for benzocaine. The rank order of potency of the local anesthetics as antagonists of [3H]BTX-B binding was as follows: dibucaine greater than tetracaine greater than bupivacaine greater than diphenhydramine greater than piperocaine greater than cocaine greater than procaine greater than lidocaine greater than benzocaine. The quaternary local anesthetic dimethyl- di(phenylcarbamoylmethyl)ammonium chloride was comparable in potency to tetracaine. The rank order and relative potency of the local anesthetics tested in both paradigms were similar with the exception of lidocaine ethiodide, which was 18 times more potent as an inhibitor of binding of [3H]BTX-B than it was as an inhibitor of BTX-elicited depolarization.
