A study was performed to investigate the GABA-mimetic activity of ethylenediamine (EDA) and piperazine at mammalian γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors using radioligand binding assays andin vitroisolated tissues. The potency of ethylenediamine and piperazine as inhibitors of the binding of GABA receptors to synaptic membranes from rat brain was measured in Tris-buffers and Krebs-Henseleit solution (KHS). The potency of ethylenediamine and piperazine at GABAAand ethylenediamine at GABABreceptors was raised if Krebs-Henseleit solution was used for the assay. Piperazine was inactive at GABABreceptors. The potency of the antagonist of GABAAreceptors bicuculline methobromide, was also increased in Krebs-Henseleit when compared with Tris-citrate buffer. Of the ions present in Krebs-Henseleit, bicarbonate ions were responsible for the increase in the GABA-mimetic potency of ethylenediamine and piperazine. Addition of either NaHCO3or KHCO3(25 mM) to Tris-HCl buffer (for GABAAbinding) or Tris-HCl plus 2.5 mM CaCl2(for GABABbinding) yielded IC50values similar to those measured in Krebs-Henseleit solution. Bicarbonate ions also enhanced the ability of ethylenediamine to potentiate the binding of [3H]diazepam to membranes from rat brain (raising both the potency of ethylenediamine and its maximum effect) in this system. In the absence of HCO3−ions, ethylenediamine potentiated the binding of [3H]diazepam by raising the maximum binding capacity (Bmax) without changing the affinity (Kd) of the receptors. Potassium bicarbonate (25 mM) caused ethylenediamine to further potentiate the binding of [3H]diazepam by changing bothBmaxand Kd. Removal of HCO3−ions from solutions superfusing isolated superior cervical ganglia of the rat abolished the depolarizing response to ethylenediamine without affecting that to GABA or muscimol. It is concluded that the GABA-mimetic activity of ethylenediamine and piperazine is dependent upon physiological concentrations of bicarbonate ions.
