The characteristics of local anesthetic inhibition of voltage-dependent Ca2+channels in a rat pituitary clonal cell line were investigated by whole-cell voltage clamp and compared with inhibition by the dihydropyridine Ca2+channel antagonist, nicardipine. With extracellular Ba2+(10 mM) as the current carrier, depolarization above −40 mV evoked a slowly inactivating IBa. Extracellularly applied lidocaine inhibited IBawithout changing the activation threshold, the voltage of peak current, or the reversal potential. Inhibition was greater at a holding potential of −60 mV (IC50=1.2 mM) than at −80 mV (IC50=2.6 mM). This depolarization-induced potentiation in IBainhibition developed over 0.1–10 s after membrane depolarization began. Nicardipine also dose-dependently inhibited IBawith an IC50=90 nM (at a holding potential=−80 mV). Both lidocaine and nicardipine shifted the IBasteady-state inactivation (availability) curves to the left. Double-pulse protocols revealed that lidocaine (1 mM) accelerated the depolarization-induced inhibition (inactivation) of IBaover the rate in drug-free solutions, but had no effect on the hyperpolarization-induced removal of channel inactivation. Nicardipine also accelerated the depolarization-induced inactivation of IBabut, in addition, it slowed the hyperpolarization-induced inactivation removal. The relative inhibitory action of lidocaine in suppressing IBawas unchanged in the presence of nicardipine. These results suggest that lidocaine has a direct action on membrane Ca2+channels, similar to the voltage-dependent action of dihydropyridine, but acting at a separate and independent site.
