There is considerable evidence that adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is involved in the modulation of synaptic transmission in the guinea pig superior cervical ganglion (SCG). Presynaptic muscarinic receptors are known to attenuate, when activated, acetylcholine (ACh) release in the periphery as well as in the brain. Thus, the possible relationship between ganglionic adenylate cyclase activity and the output of ACh from electrically stimulated ganglia, preloaded with [3H]choline, was investigated. The muscarinic agonist oxotremorine significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner the electrically evoked neurotransmitter release. The adenylate cyclase inhibitor N-(cis-2-phenylcyclopentyl)azacyclotridecan-2-imine hydrochloride (RMI 12330 A) also decreased ACh output. The inhibitory effects of these two drugs were additive. In crude ganglion membrane fractions oxotremorine significantly inhibited adenylate cyclase activity. The results indicate that drugs capable of inhibiting adenylate cyclase, significantly decrease ACh output from preganglionic nerve terminals in guinea pig SCG.
