THE EFFECT OF VERAPAMIL ON THE Ca2+‐TRANSPORTING AND Ca2+‐ATPase ACTIVITY OF ISOLATED CARDIAC SARCOLEMMAL PREPARATIONS

Abstract: The effect of (±)‐, (+)‐ and (‐)‐verapamil on the Ca2+‐binding, Ca2+‐transporting activity, and Ca2+‐dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of isolated cardiac sarcolemmal preparations was studied. Enzymatic treatment was used to establish the nature of the sites facilitating [14C]‐(±)‐verapamil binding. (±)‐Verapamil 1 μm inhibited the passive binding of 45Ca2+. The (+)‐ and (‐)‐isomers were equiactive. (±)‐Verapamil 1 μm inhibited the ATP‐dependent transport of 45Ca2+ and the associated activat… Show more

“…In addition, these enzymically dissociated cells lack an intact cell coat (Isenberg & Kl6ckner, 1980) and it is quite possible that the cell coat constitutes a barrier to the penetration of D600 into the cell (cf. Mas-Oliva & Nayler, 1980).…”

“…Most of these effects have been attributed to a selective inhibition of slow inward transport of calcium across cell membranes (3,4). Since the drug acts at the level of the cell membrane (5,6), its surface and self-association properties may have a strong influence on its biological activity. Verapamil has been shown to be surface active (7,8) and there is evidence for self-association from its ability to solubilize aromatic compounds in aqueous solution (9).…”

“…Verapamil does not modify calcium uptake, binding, or exchange by myocardial micro some^.^^^^ It inhibits the ATP-dependent calcium-transporting properties of the sarcolemma and intrinsic calciumsensitive ATPase; this activity resides in the ( -) isomer. 39 Verapamil probably has to pass through the cell membrane to exert its effect^,^^^^^ binding to the inner surface of the ~lasmalemma.~~ Only one molecule of verapamil is required to interact with the receptor…”
