The present study tests this prediction using the local anesthetic dibucaine as a probe. It is shown, in isolated SL, that dibucaine competitively displaces Ca specifically from anionic phospholipid headgroups. Dibucaine also displaces Ca from the SL when applied to intact cells. It does not affect the content or release of Ca from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in these cells. This eliminates a primary effect on SR Ca as a contributing factor to dibucaine's effect on Na/Ca exchange-mediated Ca efflux. Measurement of this efflux from whole cells shows a highly significant reduction of 58\% (p < 0.001) by 0.5 mM dibucaine. The inhibiting effect of dibucaine on Na/Ca exchange-mediated Ca efflux can be significantly reversed by augmentation of Ca release from SR by caffeine at the time of activation of Na/Ca exchange. This supports the contention that the dibucaine-SL interaction is a competitive one vis-a-vis Ca. The results are supportive of the model in which inner SL leaflet Ca-binding sites account for the delay of Ca diffusion from the diadic cleft, thereby prolonging the time for which Ca remains elevated in the cleft. The prolonged increased Ca significantly enhances the ability of Na/Ca exchange to remove Ca from the cell during the excitation-contraction cycle.
