[Effect of psychotropic preparations on the activity of Ca- and Mg-dependent ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum].

In sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscles the activity of Ca2+, Mg2+- dependent ATPase was distinctly inhibited under effect of neuroleptic drugs - derivatives of phenothiazine and butyrophenone. The effect of tricyclic antidepressants was less pronounced. Tranquilizers (derivatives of 1,4-benzodiazepine) inhibited the enzyme, but trioxazin was only slightly active. High concentrations of lithium salts and of psychostimulants caffeine and corasole were found to stimulate the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity; low concentrations of the substances slightly inhibited the enzyme. The blocking effect of psychotropic drugs was more distinct, if the enzyme preparations were previously treated with ATP.
