Under voltage-clamp dissociated adult and foetal rat superior cervical ganglion (s.c.g.) cells exhibited a non-inactivating voltage- or time-dependent component of K+ current termed the M-current (IM). IM was detected and measured from the current decay during hyperpolarizing voltage steps applied from potentials where IM was pre-activated. Neither the resting membrane current nor the amplitude of these current decay relaxations were reduced by omitting Ca from the bathing fluid, showing that the M-current was not a ''Ca-activated'' K-current dependent on a primary Ca-influx. Concentrations of (+)-tubocurarine sufficient to block the slow Ca-activated K-current IAHP did not inhibit IAHP. Tetraethylammonium (1 mM), which blocks the fast Ca-activated K-current IC, produced a small inhibition of IM. This was due to contamination of IM by IC since muscarinic agonists did not consistently block IC. The muscarinic agonists muscarine, oxotremorine, McN-A-343 and methacholine reversibly suppressed IM, resulting in an inward (depolarizing) current. The rank order of potency was: oxotremorine .gtoreq. muscarine > McN-A-343 > methacholine. The suppression of IM by muscarine was similar in cultured cells derived from adult and foetal tissue to that seen in the intact ganglia. IM-suppression by muscarine was inhibited by pirenzepine (Pz) and AF-DX 116 with mean pKB values of 7.53 .+-. 0.13 (n = 3) and 6.02 .+-. 0.13 (n = 4) respectively. The suppression of IM by muscarinic agonists was not affected by gallamine (10-30 .mu.M). 4-Diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide inhibited the response at 300 nM. Pirenzepine inhibited the contractions of the guinea-pig isolated ileum produced by muscarine with a mean pKB of 6.37 .+-. 0.03 (n = 8). These results suggest that the receptors mediating suppression of the M-current accord with those designated pharmacologically as M1 and that these receptors reach maturity at a very early stage in the development of the rat s.c.g.
