Sodium artesunate (SA), a synthetic derivative of artemisinin first isolated in China, is a water soluble antimalaria used clinically in China. The jejunum of mouse was mounted in Ussing chambers and bathed in NaCl Ringer. There was a potential difference (PD) across the intestinal wall with the serosa being positive. Addition of SA to the mucosal side of the D-glucose (5.5 mmol/L) NaCl Ringer bathing solution, caused a significant decrease in both PD and short circuit current (I(sc)). However, SA had little effect when added to the glucose free Ringer bathing solution. SA 0.1-1.0 mmol/L caused a decrease in Na+,K(+)-ATPase activities in vitro. The results suggest that the inhibitory effect on the electrical properties of mouse jejunum is associated with the inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activities.

D000254	Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase	An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.
