Inhibitory effect of lupin seed extracts from ENERGY and E063 varieties and lupanine on nematode acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subtypes expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Figure shows representative recording traces from the Caenorhabditis elegans nicotine-sensitive AChR (a) and levamisole-sensitive AChR (b), and the H. contortus levamisole-sensitive AChR (c) after exposure to acetylcholine (ACh) alone or in the presence of ENERGY and E063 extracts. Concentrations (μM) are indicated above each trace. Bars indicate the time period of the drug application (ACh in black and lupin alkaloids in red). Panel d depicts lupanine concentration-response inhibition curves obtained on Cel-N-AChR (left), Cel-L-AChR (middle) and Hco-L-AChR-1 (right). Panel e displays acetylcholine concentration-response curves either alone (in black), or with 300 µM lupanine (in red) on Cel-N-AChR (left), Cel-L-AChR (middle) and Hco-L-AChR-1 (right).
