A patch-clamp technique in a whole-cell configuration was used to examine the functional activity of recently developed 2-fluoro-3-(substituted phenyl)deschloroepibatidine analogs on two major subtypes of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), alpha 4 beta 2 and alpha 3 beta 4, that predominate in the central and peripheral nervous systems, respectively. These epibatidine analogs have been shown previously to possess high binding affinity to alpha 4 beta 2 but not to alpha 7 nAChRs and to inhibit nicotine-induced analgesia in behavioral pain tests. The 2-fluoro-3-(4-nitro-phenyl) deschloroepibatidine (4-nitro-PFEB) exhibited the most pronounced antagonist activity among these analogs when tested electrophysiologically on alpha 4 beta 2 nAChRs. It inhibited acetylcholine (ACh)-induced currents in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 0.1 mu M and produced complete inhibition at similar to 1 mu M concentration. 4-Nitro-PFEB at similar to 1 mu M concentration produced a 4-fold rightward shift in the ACh concentration-response curve without altering maximum ACh-induced response. This inhibitory effect of 4-nitro-PFEB was voltage- and use-independent and was partially reversible at its similar to 1 mu M concentration. The rise and decay kinetics of ACh-induced currents was not altered in the presence of 4-nitro-PFEB. In contrast to alpha 4 beta 2 nAChRs, this compound did not affect alpha 3 beta 4 nAChR-mediated currents at similar to 1 mu M (IC50 similar to 63.9 mu M). Overall, these functional data agree with previous binding and behavioral findings and suggest collectively that 4-nitro-PFEB is the most effective and selective antagonist of alpha 4 beta 2 versus alpha 3 beta 4 and alpha 7 nAChRs among the tested analogs, acting on alpha 4 beta 2 nAChR through a competitive mechanism with a potency 17-fold higher than that of dihydro-beta-erythroidine.
