- W2947401887 abstract "Most local anesthetics (LAs) are amine compounds bearing one or several phenolic rings. Many of them are protonated at physiological pH, but benzocaine (Bzc) is permanently uncharged, which is relevant because the effects of LAs on nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (nAChRs) depend on their presence as uncharged or protonated species. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of Bzc on nAChRs and to correlate them with its binding to putative interacting sites on this receptor. nAChRs from Torpedo electroplaques were microtransplanted to Xenopus oocytes and currents elicited by ACh (IAChs), either alone or together with Bzc, were recorded at different potentials. Co-application of ACh with increasing concentrations of Bzc showed that Bzc reversibly blocked nAChRs. IACh inhibition by Bzc was voltage-independent, but the IACh rebound elicited when rinsing Bzc suggests an open-channel blockade. Besides, ACh and Bzc co-application enhanced nAChR desensitization. When Bzc was just pre-applied it also inhibited IACh, by blocking closed (resting) nAChRs. This blockade slowed down the kinetics of both the IACh activation and the recovery from blockade. The electrophysiological results indicate that Bzc effects on nAChRs are similar to those of 2,6-dimethylaniline, an analogue of the hydrophobic moiety of lidocaine. Furthermore, docking assays on models of the nAChR revealed that Bzc and DMA binding sites on nAChRs overlap fairly well. These results demonstrate that Bzc inhibits nAChRs by multiple mechanisms and contribute to better understanding both the modulation of nAChRs and how LAs elicit some of their clinical side effects. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Honoring Ricardo Miledi - outstanding neuroscientist of XX-XXI centuries." @default.
