We examined in vitro the effect of several drugs on the activities of lysosomal enzymes in the crude extract of bovine retinal pigment epithelial cells. Acid phosphatase, beta-D-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, alpha-L-fucosidase, and alpha-D-mannosidase were used as lysosomal enzymes. Sodium iodate at 10(-6), 10(-5) and 10(-4) M, and potassium iodate at 10(-5) and 10(-4) M inhibited acid phosphatase activity. Ferrous chloride at 10(-5) and 10(-4) M suppressed beta-D-glucuronidase activity. Ferric chloride, indomethacin, chloroquine, chlorpromazine, 5-fluorouracil, tobramycin, daunomycin, oxalate and epinephrine had no or only minimal inhibitory effects on the lysosomal enzyme activities examined.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007452 Iodates Inorganic salts of iodic acid (HIO3). Iodate
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D010857 Pigment Epithelium of Eye The layer of pigment-containing epithelial cells in the RETINA; the CILIARY BODY; and the IRIS in the eye. Eye Pigment Epithelium
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
