Factors affecting solubilized dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase.

A M Marshall, J Ramwani, R K Mishra

    Biochemical Pharmacology
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bovine striatal adenylate cyclase activity was modulated by magnesium ions, guanylyl-imidodiphosphate, and lipids. Dopamine stimulated the enzyme, with neuroleptic drugs inhibiting this effect in a manner correlating with clinical potency.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropharmacology
    • Enzymology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Adenylate cyclase is a key enzyme in cellular signaling pathways.
    • Dopamine receptors in the striatum are implicated in various neurological functions.
    • Neuroleptic drugs are used to treat psychosis by targeting dopamine pathways.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the activity and regulation of bovine striatal adenylate cyclase.
    • To investigate the effects of dopamine and neuroleptic drugs on this enzyme.
    • To establish a biochemical basis for the action of neuroleptics.

    Main Methods:

    • Solubilization of bovine striatal adenylate cyclase using sodium cholate.
    • Enzyme activity assays in the presence of magnesium ions, guanylyl-imidodiphosphate, and striatal lipids.

  • Dopamine stimulation and inhibition by neuroleptic drugs (spiroperidol, haloperidol, chlorpromazine).

    • Main Results:

    • Enzyme activity was enhanced by magnesium ions, guanylyl-imidodiphosphate, and striatal lipids.
    • Dopamine (50 microM) stimulated adenylate cyclase activity.
    • Neuroleptic drugs inhibited dopamine-stimulated activity with potencies (IC50 values: spiroperidol 0.2 nM, haloperidol 3 nM, chlorpromazine 500 nM) correlating with their clinical efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • Bovine striatal adenylate cyclase is regulated by multiple factors including ions, lipids, and neurotransmitters.
    • The enzyme's response to dopamine and its inhibition by neuroleptics provide a biochemical correlate for neuroleptic drug action.
    • This study offers insights into the mechanism of action of antipsychotic medications at the molecular level.
