Eudistomin D and penaresin derivatives as modulators of ryanodine receptor channels and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase in striated muscle.

ABSTRACT: Eudistomin D (EuD) and penaresin (Pen) derivatives are bioactive alkaloids from marine sponges found to induce Ca(2+) release from striated muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Although these alkaloids are believed to affect ryanodine receptor (RyR) gating in a "caffeine-like" manner, no single-channel study confirmed this assumption. Here, EuD and MBED (9-methyl-7-bromoeudistomin D) were contrasted against caffeine on their ability to modulate the SR Ca(2+) loading/leak from cardiac and skeletal muscle SR microsomes as well as the function of RyRs in planar bilayers. The effects of these alkaloids on [(3)H]ryanodine binding and SR Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) activity were also tested. MBED (1-5 μM) fully mimicked maximal activating effects of caffeine (20 mM) on SR Ca(2+) leak. At the single-cha
