Macrolide compounds, ivermectin and milbemycin D, stimulate chloride channels sensitive to GABAergic drugs in cultured chick spinal neurons. Comparative biochemistry and physiology. C, Comparative pharmacology and toxicology, 1989, Volume: 93, Issue:1 1. The effects of ivermectin (IVM) and milbemycin D (MMD) on cultured embryonic spinal neurons were investigated, using the whole-cell recording technique. 2. IVM and MMD caused Cl- current under voltage-clamp conditions. 3. The reversal potential of the MMD-evoked Cl- current was shifted in a positive direction when half of the external Cl- was substituted by isethionate. 4. The MMD-evoked current was inhibited by picrotoxinin and bicuculline, whereas it was enhanced by diazepam. 5. Different characteristics of desensitization were observed between the MMD- (IVM-) and muscimol-induced effects. 6. These results suggest that IVM and MMD directly activate the Cl- channel through their specific sites modulated by GABAergic drugs. Topics: Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Bicuculline; Cells, Cultured; Chick Embryo; Chlorides; Diazepam; gamma-Aminobutyric Acid; Ion Channels; Ivermectin; Lactones; Macrolides; Membrane Potentials; Muscimol; Neurons; Picrotoxin; Sesterterpenes; Spinal Cord	1989
