1. In whole portal veins, ciclazindol (0.3-10 microM) increased the amplitude and duration, but decreased the frequency of spontaneous contractions. Glibenclamide (0.3-10 microM) produced a small increase in contraction amplitude and duration with a small reduction in contraction frequency. 2. In whole portal veins, ciclazindol (1-10 microM) antagonized the relaxant effects of BRL 38227 in a non-competitive manner. Under identical conditions, the effects of glibenclamide (0.3-10 microM) appeared to be competitive. 3. In whole portal veins loaded with 42K, ciclazindol itself (up to 3 microM) had no detectable effect on basal 42K exchange. However, the increase in 42K efflux produced by BRL 38227 (5 microM) was antagonized by ciclazindol (3 microM). Similar effects were produced by glibenclamide (up to 3 microM). 4. In freshly-isolated portal vein cells examined by the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique, ciclazindol (1-100 microM) inhibited the slowly-activating and inactivating transient outward current (ITO) which could be generated at potentials more positive than -30 mV. In addition ciclazindol (1-10 microM) inhibited the non-inactivating K-current (IKCO) induced by BRL 38227 (10 microM). 5. In freshly-isolated portal vein cells under current-clamp conditions, the hyperpolarization produced by BRL 38227 (10 microM) was reversed by ciclazindol (1-10 microM). 6. In porcine brain membrane fragments, glibenclamide (0.65 nM) displaced 50% of the binding of [3H]-glibenclamide whereas ciclazindol (up to 10 microM) had no effect. 7. It is concluded that ciclazindol is a K-channel blocker. Its action is not selective for the channel(s) which carry IKCO but also extends to those which carry ITO.Its inability to displace [3H]-glibenclamide from porcine brain fragments may indicate that antagonism of BRL 38227 by ciclazindol in smooth muscle is exerted at a site different from that of glibenclamide.
