In order to study the biological activity of endogenous digitalis-like substance (DLS) and Na-K-ATPase inhibitor (ATPI), human urine was partially purified and administered to rats, and its effects on the urinary volume, urinary Na excretion and blood pressure (BP) were determined. In addition, the effect on myocardial Na-K-ATPase activity was also measured. After the extraction of 40L of urine with a reversed phase cartridge column (S-fraction), 20 ml of chloroform was added and extraction was repeated. The chloroform layer was applied to an open silica gel column, and at a fraction with ethylacetate: methanol (60: 40, T-1 fraction), DLS and ATPI were eluted at the highest concentration. The water layer was treated with charcoal (D-1 fraction). The acute administration of K-1, T-1 fraction to rats in vivo caused significant rises in urinary volume, urinary Na excretion and BP. In chronic administration of K-1 fraction, urinary Na excretion was significantly elevated and myocardial Na-K-ATPase activity was also significantly suppressed. These results suggest that DLS and ATPI cause increase in the urinary volume and urinary Na excretion and also possess a hypertensive action; and moreover, these substance may affect the heart like cardiotonic steroids and regulate BP by increasing cardiac contractility.
