[Quantitative patterns of tubocurarine action on the synaptic potentials of frog muscle]
Abstract
The dependence of amplitude of synaptic potentials (EPP and mEPP) upon the d-tubocurarine concentration was studied in the frog cutaneous pectoral muscle. In the presence of d-tubocurarine up to 5 x 10(-7) M, the amplitude of EPP and mEPP decreased to the extent which strictly followed competitive action of d-tubocurarine. At a higher concentration, the inhibition of synaptic potentials was stronger than would be expected assuming that d-tubocurarine can only act as a competitive antagonist.
