Carbachol and substance P stimulated 45Ca2+ flux changes, 86Rb+ efflux, and amylase secretion from acinar cells isolated from rat parotid. The local anesthetic tetracaine blocked all of these measured responses to carbachol, but none of the responses to substance P. Tetracaine must act at either the cholinergic receptor or at a subsequent transducing step in the cholinergic stimulus-response sequence. If tetracaine acts at one of the transducing steps between cholinergic receptor occupation and the physiological responses then the action of tetracaine must be at a locus in the cholinergic reaction scheme not shared by substance P, because tetracaine did not block any response of the parotid to substance P.
