Abstract
1 The role of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) in neurotransmitter release was studied using nerve terminals (synaptosomes) prepared from rat cerebral cortex as a model. 2 Amitriptyline, nortriptyline, protriptyline, desipramine and imipramine were found to inhibit ATPases at concentrations of 10(-5) M and above. The drugs inhibited both the basal and electrically evoked release of acetylcholine (ACh) and noradrenaline (NA) at concentrations of 10(-4) M and above. 3 At low concentrations of antidepressants (10(-8) and 10(-7) M) release of NA was enhanced but there was no effect on ACh release. 4 Other drugs which inhibit Na+, K+-ATPase increase basal NA release as did drugs which inhibited vesicular MG2+-ATPase. 5 A model is proposed suggesting that transmitter release/re-uptake depends on (1) active Na+, K+-ATPase at the presynaptic membrane and (2) an active synaptic vesicular MG2+-ATPase.
