A previous report by Ellis and Hoss [l] demonstrated that gallamine inhibits the binding of the potent and specific muscarinic antagonist quinuclidinyl benzilate(QNB). Although other studies have found gallamine to be an antagonist in muscarinic systems [2-51, the binding properties of gallamine were shown to be similar to those of muscarinic agonists. That is, the occupancy curve for gallamine is better suited to a model of two populations of receptors than to a one-site model and it possesses greater overall affinity toward brainstem receptors than toward those of the forebrain[I]. Recently, Stockton et al.[6] reported that gallamine regulates muscarinic receptors by an allosteric mechanism. The possibility was therefore raised that the heterogeneity detected by gallamine in the earlier study might have been artifactual, due to the assumption of an incorrect mechanism of action. However, it is difficult to account for all of the previous findings of Ellis and Hoss by a noncompetitive mechanism, especially that the elimination of receptors with low affinity for the agonist carbachol results in-a loss of receptors with low affinitv for gallamine 111. The present studv was undertaken in an-attempt to reconcile &these apparently discrepant reports and to further evaluate the mechanism (s) by which gallamine interacts with muscarinic receptors. Tritiated L-QNB (32.2 Ci/mmole) and [‘H] N-methylscopolamine(NMS. 84.8 Ci/mmole) were obtained from the&New England Nuclear Corp.(Boston, MA). Gallamine triethiodide was obtained from K & K Laboratories (Plainsview, NY). Neural membranes were prepared from the forebrains of male Sprague-Dawley rats as described previously [l] and stored frozen at-70” until used. The term forebrain denotes the portion of the brain anterior to the diencephalon, plus overlying cortical and hippocampal tissue. Binding assays were conducted at 25” in 40 mM sodium-potassium phosphate buffer (except where otherwise indicated), pH 7.2. and were terminated by filtration through GF/B glass fiber filters (Brandel, Gaithersburg. MD). In all cases, nonspecific binding was determined by the inclusion of 1 nM unlabeled QNB with the labeled ligand. Under conditions of low ionic strength, high concentrations of gallamine were found to decrease the nonspecific binding of [3H] QNB. Therefore, nonspecific binding was determined for each concentration of gallamine by including 1 PM unlabeled QNB with the labeled QNB and gallamine in a separate set of assay tubes. The results of experiments which employed [IH] NMS (Figs. 1A and 2A) were consistent with the report by Stockton et al.[6]. Both the association and dissociation kinetics were dramatically slowed by the presence of gallamine. Separate studies (data not shown) found the halfmaximal effect on the off-rate of 13H1NMS to occur at 30 PM gallamine. However, when similar studies were carried out with [‘H] QNB (Figs. lB, lC, and 2B), no allosteric effects were noted. Even at 100 uM, gallamine failed to significantly alter the rate of associationof(3H] QNB or the rate of dissociation of oreviouslv bound IjHlONB. The next question that we wished to address was whether the muscarinic sites that appear to possess different affinities for gallamine are separate and non-interconvertible. One approach to this question is to selectively block the low-affinity sites with an irreversible or slowly reversible antagonist (eg QNB), as has been done in the past for the sites-that are differentiated by the muscarinic agonists [l, 8, 91. Initial studies (Fig. 3) found that the different sites expressed the most widely disparate affinities for gallamine under conditions of low ionic strength. Such conditions were therefore chosen …
