Background. Sarcolemmal adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels in the cardiovascular system may be involved in bupivacaine-induced cardiovascular toxicity. The authors investigated the effects of local anesthetics on the activity of reconstituted K-ATP channels encoded by inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir6.0) and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunits.Methods: The authors used an inside-out patch clamp configuration to investigate the effects of bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine on the activity of reconstituted K-ATP channels expressed in COS-7 cells and containing wild-type, mutant, or chimeric SURs.Results: Bupivacaine inhibited the activities of cardiac K-ATP channels (IC50 = 52 mum) stereoselectively (levobupivacaine, IC50 = 168 mum; ropivacaine, IC50 = 249 mum). Local anesthetics also inhibited the activities of channels formed by the truncated isoform of Kir6.2 (Kir6.2DeltaC36) stereoselectively. Mutations in the cytosolic end of the second transmembrane domain of Kir6.2 markedly decreased both the local anesthetics' affinity and stereoselectivity. The local anesthetics blocked cardiac K-ATP channels with approximately eightfold higher potency than vascular K-ATP channels; the potency depended on the SUR subtype. The 42 amino acid residues at the C-terminal tail of SUR2A, but not SUR1 or SUR2B, enhanced the inhibitory effect of bupivacaine on the Kir6.0 subunit.Conclusions: Inhibitory effects of local anesthetics on K-ATP channels in the cardiovascular system are (1) stereoselective: bupivacaine was more potent than levobupivacaine and ropivacaine; and (2) tissue specific: local anesthetics blocked cardiac K-ATP channels more potently than vascular K-ATP channels, via the intracellular pore mouth of the Kir6.0 subunit and the 42 amino acids at the C-terminal tail of the SUR2A subunit, respectively.
