We investigated the effects of the novel gastroprokinetic agent Z-338 (N-(N-N'-diisopropylaminoethyl)-[2-(2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzoylamino)-1,3-thiazole-4-yl] carboxyamide monohydrochloride trihydrate) on L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ currents (ICa) in guinea pig gastric myocytes by using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. Bath-applied acetylcholine (ACh) produced biphasic effects on ICa, i.e., enhancement (1-100 nM) and inhibition (1-100 microM), both of which were abolished by pretreatment with atropine (10 microM) or intracellular perfusion of GDPbetaS (500 microM). Z-338 (> or = 1 nM, ED50: 120 nM) mimicked the enhancing effects of ACh, but did not inhibit ICa. The effects of Z-338 and ACh were non-additive and blocked by atropine and GDPbetaS, but not by pertussis toxin (PTX) pretreatment (500 ng/ml). ACh (> or = 1 microM) induced slow inward currents via activation of the muscarinic receptor/PTX-sensitive G-protein pathway, but Z-338 was devoid of these effects. Neither pirenzepine (1 microM), AF-DX116 (1 microM), nor oxybutynin (100 nM) could prevent Z-338 (1 microM) and ACh (10 nM) from enhancing ICa, whilst 4-DAMP (100 nM) blocked the effects of Z-338 and ACh. Bath-application of protein kinase C (PKC) activator PDBu (phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate) (250 nM) enhanced ICa, and conversely, pipette inclusion of PKC inhibitor peptide (150 microM) abolished the effects of ACh and Z-338 on ICa. These results collectively suggest that although contribution of the M3 receptor is not excluded, the major actions of Z-338 on gastric myocytes are potentiation of ICa through activation of M5-like receptor.
