6-Tridecylresorcylic acid (TRA) isolated from a primula Lysimachia japonica Thunb. inhibited contraction of myofibrils, superprecipitation of myosin B, and ATPase activities of myosin and actomyosin prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values in molarity of TRA were as follows: myosin (K+,EDTA)-ATPase, 3.5 X 10(-6); myosin Ca2+-ATPase, 3.5 X 10(-5); and actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase, 1.6 X 10(-5). The inhibition of ATPase activity of myofibrils by TRA was virtually reversed by washing with the fresh saline solution. Kinetic analysis of inhibitory effects of TRA suggests that the inhibition of (K+,EDTA)-ATPase activity of myosin or subfragment-1 is parabolic noncompetitive. TRA had no effect on alkaline phosphatase and choline acetyltransferase activities. TRA may provide a useful chemical tool for the study of the molecular mechanisms of actin-myosin contractile systems.

Brain extracts from 8-day-old chick embryos have been shown to influence morphological development of dissociated brain cells from 7-day-old chick embryos in culture. Stimulatory effects on size of the neuronal somas and on growth of long processes were observed by adding the cytosol of the brain extract or the dialysate of the cytosol. These morphological changes parallel modifications of various enzyme activities according to the age of the cultures. Adenyl cyclase, (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, choline acetyltransferase, and acetylcholinesterase activities were studied between 5 and 14 days of culture. Adenyl cyclase activity was strongly stimulated at 8 days by both extracts. (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-ATPase activities were stimulated in 8-day-old cultures only by the dialysate. 5'-Nucleotidase activity was stimulated in 8-day-old cultures by the dialysate and in 11-day-old cultures by both extracts. Choline acetyltransferase activity was stimulated by the cytosol in 8-day-old cultures and by the dialysate in 11-day-old cultures. The total acetylcholinesterase activity was higher in 8-, 11-, and 14-day-old cultures treated with the cytosol. When the cells were treated with the dialysate, the activity was only higher in 14-day-old cultures. We also found that following the addition of brain extracts, the specific activity of the enzymes we studied was enhanced and became close to the values found in vivo during embryogenesis. Thus in parallel to the morphological modifications observed in nerve cell cultures treated by embryo brain extracts, biochemical variations especially involved in synaptogenesis and membrane development could be measured.
