The ability of adenosine agonists to modulate the electrically evoked release of acetylcholine (ACh) from [3H]choline preloaded guinea-pig superior cervical ganglia (SCG) was investigated. The adenosine A1-receptor selective agonist N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) and 2-chloroadenosine (2-CADO) inhibited the evoked transmitter release, the effect being reversed by the A1-receptor selective antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), and by sulmazole (SUL), which blocks both the A1-receptor and the adenylate cyclase inhibitory regulator Gi. In whole ganglia, CHA decreased both the basal and the forskolin (FSK)-stimulated cyclic AMP synthesis. The latter effect was again prevented by the A1 antagonist DPCPX. These results are compatible with the existence, in the guinea-pig SCG, of adenosine A1-receptors, part of which are located on the presynaptic nerve terminals mediating an inhibition of ACh release.
