P-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate blocks and reverses the effect of amiloride on sodium transport across rabbit colon in vitro. 1978

G P Gottlieb, and K Turnheim, and R A Frizzell, and S G Schultz

The addition of 10(-3) M p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate (PCMBS) to the solution bathing the mucosal surface of rabbit colon has no effect on the rate of active Na transport but blocks or reverses the inhibitory action of amiloride. The tissue must be exposed to PCMBS for 20-30 min for a complete blocking effect, and removal of PCMBS from the mucosal solution after this period of exposure does not restore the sensitivity of the tissue to amiloride. The slow time-courses of the blocking and reversal effects suggest that PCMBS does not irreversibly interact with groups directly involved in the binding of amiloride.

D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.
