The effect of pancuronium in the rabbit ear artery was investigated in order to measure the inhibition it produces at the prejunctional muscarinic receptor on sympathetic nerve endings in this tissue. Pancuronium (0.1-0.2 mmol/l) produced an enhancement of responses to transmural electrical stimulation but this effect was absent in experiments conducted in the presence of cocaine (10 mumol/l) suggesting that an inhibition of the uptake1 mechanism occurs with pancuronium in this tissue. Pancuronium (10 mumol/l) in the presence of cocaine (10 mumol/l) and yohimbine (1 mumol/l) caused a small transient increase in resting output of tritium from arteries preincubated with 3H-noradrenaline but did not affect stimulated output of tritium nor the perfusion pressure in perfused preparations. Pancuronium in the presence of cocaine or cocaine plus yohimbine caused a parallel shift of the concentration-response curve for the inhibitory effect of carbachol (CCh) on the increase in perfusion pressure induced by nervous stimulation. An Arunlakshana-Schild plot of the data was linear but the slopes of 0.92 and 0.95 respectively, were significantly different from unity (P less than 0.05). The calculated pKB value suggests that pancuronium has a different affinity for prejunctional muscarinic receptors on sympathetic nerve endings in this tissue compared to that previously reported in cardiac or ileal smooth muscle.
