The interactions of veratridine, cevadine, veracevine, and veratramine with monolayers of stearic acid show marked differences. Veratridine and cevadine, at concentrations that are known from potential, ionic flux, and other measurements to affect living membranes, react strongly with the film and appear to cause an "interfacial dissolution" whereby both the alkaloid and the stearate leave the surface. Veracevine at the same concentration does not interact with the film. The veratramine reaction is weak, much like that of the local anesthetic procaine. The veratridine and cevadine effects are antagonized by 10(-3)M Ca(++), low pH, and 3.7 and 7.4 x 10(-3)M procaine. These differences among the veratrum alkaloids and the antagonisms parallel effects observed in living systems. Such parallelism suggests that similar physical interactions are involved in the stearate film and in natural membranes.
