Spiradoline, an arylacetamide kappa (kappa) opioid receptor agonist, produced a potent tonic block of rat neuronal (EC(50)= 34+/-5 microM) and heart (EC(50)= 183+/-13 microM) sodium channels and also blocked IFMQ3 mutant neuronal sodium channels (EC(50)= 130+/-34 microM) that lack fast inactivation when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Spiradoline produced a hyperpolarizing shift in the voltage-dependence of sodium channel inactivation and exhibited a marked frequency-dependent component to blockade of sodium channels. The onset of open channel block of the IFMQ3 channel by spiradoline was best fit with a first-order blocking scheme, yielding an affinity constant of 116 +/- 33 microM. Thus, spiradoline blocks sodium channels by interacting with the major states of the channel which could result in local anesthetic action in nerves and antiarrhythmic action in the heart.
