Xestospongin B, a macrocyclic bis‐1‐oxaquinolizidine alkaloid extracted from the marine sponge Xestospongia exigua , was highly purified and tested for its ability to block inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate (IP 3 )‐induced Ca 2+ release. In a concentration‐dependent manner xestospongin B displaced [ 3 H]IP 3 from both rat cerebellar membranes and rat skeletal myotube homogenates with an EC 50 of 44.6 ± 1.1 μM and 27.4 ± 1.1 μM, respectively. Xestospongin B, depending on the dose, suppressed bradykinin‐induced Ca 2+ signals in neuroblastoma (NG108‐15) cells, and also selectively blocked the slow intracellular Ca 2+ signal induced by membrane depolarization with high external K + (47 mM) in rat skeletal myotubes. This slow Ca 2+ signal is unrelated to muscle contraction, and involves IP 3 receptors. In highly purified isolated nuclei from rat skeletal myotubes, Xestospongin B reduced, or suppressed IP 3 ‐induced Ca 2+ oscillations with an EC 50 = 18.9 ± 1.35 μM. In rat myotubes exposed to a Ca 2+ ‐free medium, Xestospongin B neither depleted sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ stores, nor modified thapsigargin action and did not affect capacitative Ca 2+ entry after thapsigargin‐induced depletion of Ca 2+ stores. Ca 2+ ‐ATPase activity measured in skeletal myotube homogenates remained unaffected by Xestospongin B. It is concluded that xestospongin B is an effective cell‐permeant, competitive inhibitor of IP 3 receptors in cultured rat myotubes, isolated myonuclei, and neuroblastoma (NG108‐15) cells.
