The lophotoxins irreversibly inhibit nicotinicacetylcholine receptors by covalent modification of Tyr190 in the a-subunits of the receptor. Previous studies have shown that the naturally occurring lophotoxin analogs bipinnatin-A,-B, and-C are actually inactive protoxinsand that their ability to irreversibly inhibit nicotinic receptors is enhanced by preincubation in buffer. However, the ability of lophotoxinto irreversibly inhibit nicotinic receptors does not appear to be enhanced bypreincubation in buffer. These observations led tothe current effort to isolate and determine the structures of biologicallyactive bipinnatins. Disappearance of the lophotoxins from solution followed a simple first-order exponential decay function. Lophotoxin, however, was approximately 40-fold more stable thenbipinnatin-A,-B, or-C. Solvolysis of the bipinnatins, but not of lophotoxin, resulted in production of an equimolar amount of acetic acid at a rate similar to the rate of solvolysis, suggesting that the initial event in solvolysis of these toxins involveshydrolysis of an acetate ester. Proton NMR and fast-atom bombardment mass spectroscopy were used toconfirm the structures of the active solvolysis products of bipinnatin-A and-C. Their structures and the relative pH insensitivity of the solvolysis reaction suggest that biological activation of the bipinnatins may proceed through an SnI type of substitution reaction involving elimination of acetate followed by reactionof a carbocation intermediate with solvent.
