1 The sulphonylureas, tolbutamide (0.1-10 mM) and glibenclamide (0.1-100 .mu.M) were shown not to inhibit ATP-K+ channel currents when applied to inside-out membrane patches excised from rat cultured cerebral cortex or freshly-dispersed ventromedial hypothalmic nucleus (VMHN) neurones. 2 Saturable binding sites for [3H]-glibenclamide, with similar affinity constants are present in rat cerebral cortex and hypothalamic membranes. The density of binding sites was lower in the hypothalamus than cortex. 3 Intracellular recordings from glucoreceptive VMHN neurones in hypothalamic slices were obtained. In the absence of glucose, tolbutamide (0.1 mM) depolarized these cells, increased membrane resistance and elicited action potentials. 4 Tolbutamide (0.1 mM) inhibited ATP-K+ channel currents and induced action current activity in cell-attached recordings from glucoreceptive VMHN neurones. 5 Glibenclamide (10-500 nM) had no effect per se on glucoreceptive VMHN neurones but did antagonize the actions of tolbutamide. 6 It is concluded that the hypothalamic (and perhaps cortical) sulphonylurea receptors are not directly coupled to ATP-K+ channels.
