Abstract:Abstract: Chlorpromazine, a cationic amphiphilic drug known to affect phospholipid metabolism, greatly increases the generation of inositol phosphates in C6 glioma cells. When a pulse-chase protocol with myo-2-3H]inositol as the radioactive precursor was used, the peak increase in radioactivity of inositol phosphates was observed at 20 min. The drug decreased inositol tetrakisphosphate labeling as a percentage of inositol trisphosphate in a dose-dependent manner. It also increased the labeling of the inositol-containing phospholipids, the precursors of the inositol phosphates. The increase in radioactivity of both phospholipids and inositol phosphates was dose-dependent, but appeared also to be a function of the time of exposure of the cultures to the drug, suggesting that the concentration of chlorpromazine in the cell, and not that in the medium, is the critical factor. The optimum concentration for maximum phospholipid labeling was lower than that eliciting maximum generation of inositol phosphates. The data suggest that the mechanism probably does not involve cell-surface receptors, but rather may consist of a direct effect of chlorpromazine on phosphoinositidase C and possibly other enzymatic reactions concerned with the metabolism of inositol phosphates.
