1. Effects of pinacidil were investigated on neuromuscular transmission in smooth muscle tissues of the rabbit and guinea-pig mesenteric arteries by both electrophysiological procedures and a bioassay of noradrenaline (NA) outflows. 2. Pinacidil (over 1 microM) hyperpolarized smooth muscle cell membranes in both tissues, in a concentration dependent manner. Pinacidil hyperpolarized and increased the ionic conductance of smooth muscle membrane more markedly in the rabbit mesenteric artery than in the guinea-pig. The hyperpolarization induced by pinacidil occurred in the presence or absence of endothelial cells and was blocked by glibenclamide. 3. Perivascular adrenergic nerve stimulation produced excitatory junction potentials (e.j.ps) and repetitive stimulation produced a facilitation of e.j.ps in both tissues. Pinacidil (over 1 microM) reduced the amplitude and the decay time of e.j.ps to a consistently greater extent in the rabbit mesenteric artery than in the guinea-pig. However, the facilitation process of e.j.ps was not modified following application of pinacidil (1 microM). The pinacidil-induced inhibition of e.j.ps was prevented by pretreatment with glibenclamide. 4. Pinacidil (30 microM) marginally increased the overflows of NA and its metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DOPEG) released following repetitive perivascular nerve stimulations. 5. Pinacidil (10 microM) partly inhibited the voltage-dependent Ca channel, as estimated from the recovery process following removal of pinacidil, of action potentials evoked on e.j.ps. 6. It is concluded that pinacidil increases ionic conductance and hyperpolarizes smooth muscle cell membranes of the guinea-pig and rabbit mesenteric arteries and as a consequence, inhibits the neuromuscular transmission process occurring on adrenergic nerve stimulation with no reduction in the amount of released transmitter.
