Abstract
Microbes inhabiting the intestinal tract of humans represent a site for xenobiotic metabolism. The gut microbiome, the collection of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, can alter the metabolic outcome of pharmaceuticals, environmental toxicants, and heavy metals, thereby changing their pharmacokinetics. Direct chemical modification of xenobiotics by the gut microbiome, either through the intestinal tract or re-entering the gut via enterohepatic circulation, can lead to increased metabolism or bioactivation, depending on the enzymatic activity within the microbial niche. Unique enzymes encoded within the microbiome include those that reverse the modifications imparted by host detoxification pathways. Additionally, the microbiome can limit xenobiotic absorption in the small intestine by increasing the expression of cell-cell adhesion proteins, supporting the protective mucosal layer, and/or directly sequestering chemicals. Lastly, host gene expression is regulated by the microbiome, including CYP450s, multi-drug resistance proteins, and the transcription factors that regulate them. While the microbiome affects the host and pharmacokinetics of the xenobiotic, xenobiotics can also influence the viability and metabolism of the microbiome. Our understanding of the complex interconnectedness between host, microbiome, and metabolism will advance with new modeling systems, technology development and refinement, and mechanistic studies focused on the contribution of human and microbial metabolism.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ouabain, an Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor hormone, presents immunomodulatory actions, including anti-inflammatory effect on acute inflammation models. METHODS In the present study, the effect of ouabain in a model of allergic airway inflammation induced by ovalbumin (OVA) was assessed. RESULTS Initially, it was observed that ouabain treatment inhibited cellular migration induced by OVA on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), mostly granulocytes, without modulating macrophage migration. In addition, it was observed, by flow cytometry, that ouabain reduces CD3high lymphocytes cells on BALF. Furthermore, treatment with ouabain decreased IL-4 and IL-13 levels on BALF. Ouabain also promoted pulmonary histological alterations, including decreased cell migration into peribronchiolar and perivascular areas, and reduced mucus production in bronchioles regions observed through hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and by periodic acid-Schiff stain, respectively. Allergic airway inflammation is characterized by high OVA-specific IgE serum titer. This parameter was also reduced by the treatment with ouabain. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, our data demonstrate that ouabain negatively modulates allergic airway inflammation induced by OVA.

Abstract
The inhibition of cardiac Na,K-ATPase by 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscillirosidin is the principal cause of poisoning of cattle by the tulip, Homeria pallida. The ultimate goals of this study were to study the interaction between 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscillirosidin and ovine Na,K-ATPase by means of inhibition and displacement binding studies. Ovine cardiac Na,K-ATPase was isolated in membrane-bound form by means of deoxycholate treatment, high-speed ultracentrifugation, NaI treatment and selective solubilization in Lubrol. The inhibition of ovine cardiac and commercial porcine cerebral cortex Na,K-ATPase by 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscilirosidin and ouabain was studied using a discontinuous Na,K-ATPase assay. The binding of 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscillirosidin, ouabain and digoxin to the above enzymes was compared using a displacement binding assay with [3H] oubain. The Lubrol-solubilized ovine cardiac Na,K-ATPase showed a specific activity of 0.3 U/mg with no ouabain insensitive activity. I50 values of 2.1 x 10(-8) and 2.7 x 10(-8) were obtained for the inhibition of this enzyme by 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscillirosidin and ouabain, respectively. 1 alpha,2 alpha-Epoxyscillirosidin has a much higher KD value (1.5 x 10(-7) M), however, than ouabain (9.5 x 10(-9) M) and digoxin (1.7 x 10(-8) M) in displacement binding studies with [3H]ouabain. 1 alpha,2 alpha-Epoxyscillirosidin is a potent inhibitor of ovine cardiac Na,K-ATPase and is a slightly stronger inhibitor of the enzyme than ouabain. The anomalous result for the displacement of 1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscillirosidin from its receptor is either a result of different affinities that K+ has for the enzyme ouabain and enzyme-1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxyscillirosidin complexes or because of different complex stabilities of these complexes.

Abstract
Digital-imaging fluorescence microscopy with fura-2 allows the determination of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in single cells. At a cell density of 10(5) cells/petri dish 44% of the chick embryo heart cells had a high [Ca2+]i of 99.4 +/- 7.1 nM and 56% of the cells a low [Ca2+]i of 27.8 +/- 4.4 nM (mean +/- SE). This laboratory previously reported that high-[Ca2+]i and low-[Ca2+]i cells from chick embryo hearts differ in their sensitivity to cardiac glycosides, as shown by measuring the increase in [Ca2+]i to reach a new steady state [Ahlemeyer, B., Weintraut, H., Seibold, G. & Schoner, W. (1991) in The sodium pump: recent developments (Kaplan, J. H. & De Weer, P., eds) pp. 653-656, Rockefeller University Press, New York]. This time we used N-hydroxysuccinimidyl digoxigenin-3-O-methylcarbonyl-epsilon-aminocaproate (HDMA) which binds irreversibly to amino groups of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase, and sheep anti-digoxigenin Fab fragments coupled with fluorescein isothiocyanate to identify different cardiac glycoside-binding sites. Half-maximal labelling of high-[Ca2+]i cells was obtained at 0.36 nM HDMA, and at 12.0 nM with the low-[Ca2+]i cells. Specific labelling of the cells by HDMA was 91% and 80% in high-[Ca2+]i and low-[Ca2+]i cells, respectively, as revealed by competition experiments with a 1000-fold excess of ouabain. HDMA half-maximally elevated the [Ca2+]i of high-[Ca2+]i cells at a concentration of 50 pM and that of low-[Ca2+]i cells at 8.0 nM. Concentrations higher than 0.1 microM produced signs of intoxication. When the labelled cells were subjected to a SDS/PAGE, a 100-kDa band was found to contain HDMA. The electrophoretic mobility of a protein labelled at 10 nM HDMA was slightly higher than that of a protein labelled at 1.0 microM. The data suggest that different isoforms of the alpha-subunit of Na+/K(+)-ATPase may exist in low-[Ca2+]i and high-[Ca2+]i cells of chick embryo heart.

Abstract
The effects of free fatty acids on the mechanism of action of Na+, K(+)-ATPase were studied. Unsaturated free fatty acids (palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid) inhibited the Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity within a narrow range, while saturated and methylated fatty acids had little or no effect. The following effects of oleic acid were found: (1) The affinity for K+ on the overall ATPase and the p-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction as well as the maximal activities were decreased. (2) The Na(+)-ATPase activity was also inhibited but the '0'-ATPase activity was hardly changed. (3) The steady-state ATP phosphorylation level in the presence of Na+ was not influenced. (4) The dephosphorylation rate constant of the phosphointermediate was slightly decreased, resulting in elevated phosphorylation levels in the absence of Na+. (5) The inhibitory effect of ATP on the dephosphorylation rate was not affected. (6) The K+ sensitivity of the phosphoenzyme in the presence as well as in the absence of Na+ was decreased. (7) Ouabain binding was inhibited. Both the affinity and the number of binding sites were lowered. In addition it was found that Na+, K(+)-ATPase binds oleic acid linearly with the fatty acid concentration up to more than 100 mol oleic acid per mol alpha beta oligomer of Na+, K(+)-ATPase. Prolonged incubation with oleic acid led to irreversible inactivation of the enzyme. This inactivation was dependent on the reaction conditions: ligands, temperature, enzyme concentration, time and fatty acid concentration. The combined presence of inactivation (long term effects) and the effects on the (K(+)-activated) dephosphorylation (short term effects) explain the mixed type inhibition of free fatty acids as observed in assays for K(+)-activated ATPase, K(+)-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase and ouabain binding. It also explains the sharp inhibition curve in the Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity test.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether increasing calcium sensitivity of myofibrils plays a role in the positive inotropic activity of the cardiotonic agent sulmazole. We studied the effects of the stereoisomers of sulmazole on cardiac contractility in vivo and in vitro, arterial blood pressure, cardiac (Na-K)ATPase activity, cAMP/cGMP-phosphodiesterase activity of cardiac and smooth muscle tissue and calcium sensitivity of skinned myocardial fibres. Both stereoisomers of sulmazole were equipotent vasodilators in vivo and this can be explained by their equipotent cAMP- and cGMP-phosphodiesterase inhibitory activities in smooth muscle tissue. However, (+)sulmazole was a much stronger positive inotropic agent than (-)sulmazole in vivo and in vitro. This difference in inotropic activity cannot be explained by cAMP- or cGMP-phosphodiesterase inhibition or (Na-K)ATPase inhibition in cardiac tissue. Only (+)sulmazole produced a dose-dependent increase in calcium sensitivity of skinned myocardial fibres. Therefore, the calcium sensitizing effect on myofibrils evoked by (+)sulmazole might be responsible for the difference in inotropic activity observed between the stereoisomers of sulmazole.

Abstract
The bipyridine derivative, milrinone, produced positive inotropic effects in isolated, contracting right ventricular papillary muscles and left atria from guinea pigs as well as in human papillary muscle strips. The inotropic effect was biphasic in guinea pig papillary muscles (EC50, high affinity, 1.5 X 10(-6) mol/l, about 35% of maximal effect; apparent EC50, 3 X 10(-5) mol/l with a maximal effect at 2 X 10(-4) mol/l) but monophasic in guinea pig left atria (EC50, 6 X 10(-5) mol/l) and in human papillary muscle strips (EC50, 5.8 X 10(-5) mol/l). In guinea pig papillary muscles, reserpine pretreatment or l-practolol preincubation reduced the low concentration effect only. In the presence of l-practolol, carbachol reduced the low concentration effect only. In the presence of l-practolol, carbachol reduced but not abolished the inotropic effects of milrinone (3 X 10(-6) mol/l, 1 X 10(-4) mol/l) in both guinea pig and human myocardium. This antagonism was prevented by atropine preincubation. The maximum inotropic effect of milrinone was similar to that of ouabain and calcium in guinea pig myocardium but markedly less than either calcium or ouabain in human myocardium. Milrinone inhibited crude guinea pig and human cardiac phosphodiesterase activity in vitro but did not inhibit 3H-ouabain binding to partially purified human cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-containing membranes. We conclude that the primary mode of action of milrinone in both guinea pig and human myocardium is through inhibition of phosphodiesterase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The inhibitory potency of altogether 95 steroidal compounds (including cardenolides, bufadienolides and their glycosides) on the Na/K-ATPases (Na+/K+-transporting ATPases, EC 3.6.1.37) from human cardiac muscle, human brain cortex and guinea-pig cardiac muscle was compared to probe the complementary chemotopology of the inhibitor binding site areas on the three enzyme variants. The changes of potency, resulting from systematic variations of the geometry of steroid skeleton and the character as well as the structure of side chains at C3 or/and C17 of steroid backbone, allowed the following major conclusions. With the human cardiac and cerebral enzyme forms, the paired K0.5 (K'D) values for 77 steroid derivatives, covering seven orders of ten, were highly correlated. On an average, the total of compounds showed a 1.5-fold higher affinity to the cardiac enzyme. This tiny differentiation did not appear to be connected with an important difference in the chemotopology of the complementary subsites for steroid nucleus binding on the two enzyme forms. With the human and guinea-pig cardiac enzyme variants, the K0.5 values for 69 steroid derivatives, covering six orders of ten, were determined. For 41 5 beta, 14 beta-androstane derivatives only, the paired K0.5 values showed a close correlation. Here, the human enzyme variant exhibited 27-fold higher affinity. However, the paired K0.5 values determined on both enzymes for 28 steroid derivatives of differing structural features were but poorly correlated. Essentially, the geometries of the steroid nucleus determined the differential contributions of the side chains at C3 and C17 to the integral inhibitory potency on the two enzyme variants. Thus, the species differences in the potency of cardiac glycosides were traced to species differences in the complementarity of the steroid binding subsites. Hence, estimates of the potency of new steroidal compounds obtained on the guinea-pig cardiac enzyme can be neither quantitatively nor qualitatively easily extrapolated to the human cardiac enzyme. The extrathermodynamic analysis of the data opened major new insights in the structure-activity relationships concerning the role of C14 beta-OH, the character of the lead structure in cardioactive steroid lactones, and the significance of the configuration of A/B ring junction.

Abstract
The sodium pump, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, which is involved in the transport of cations and water movement by the colonic mucosa, may be decreased in various diarrhoeal states. In this study, we have measured 3H-ouabain binding and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in human colonic biopsy homogenates and the influence of various inflammatory and antiinflammatory compounds on these parameters. 3H-ouabain binds to one site of high affinity (KD 1.9 +/- 0.2 X 10(-9) mol/l) with a maximal binding capacity of 7.5 +/- 0.8 X 10(14) binding sites/g protein. Both arachidonic and linoleic acid inhibited (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity (IC50 arachidonic acid: 7.5 X 10(-5) mol/l, linoleic acid: 6.5 X 10(-5) mol/l) and Mg2+-ATPase activity (IC50 arachidonic acid: 9 X 10(-5) mol/l, linoleic acid: 4 X 10(-5) mol/l). Arachidonic acid inhibited 3H-ouabain binding, (IC50 3.2 X 10(-5) mol/l). The following antiinflammatory compounds, at concentrations up to 1 X 10(-3) mol/l, did not influence ATPase activity directly nor reverse the arachidonic acid-induced inhibition: indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (lipoxygenase inhibitor), sulphasalazine and its metabolites: 5-aminosalicylic acid, N-acetylaminosalicylic acid and sulphapyridine. These results indicate that human colonic (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is inhibited by the prostanoid precursors, arachidonic and linoleic acid. From a therapeutic point of view (effect on colonic (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and perhaps diarrhoea), the suppression of the production of these prostanoid precursors by drugs may, therefore, be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Recovery of various parameters of kidney function after varying periods of complete unilateral ureteral obstruction was studied in dogs under hydropenic conditions. Changes of PAH and inulin clearance appeared to be parallel. After one week of obstruction, renal clearances of PAH and inulin were decreased to seven per cent of values measured before the obstruction period, after two weeks to four per cent and after three or four weeks to two per cent. Within 10 to 28 days after release of obstruction by cutaneous ureterostomy, PAH and inulin clearance increased to 66 per cent after one week, to 50 per cent after two weeks, to 10 per cent after three weeks with no change after four weeks of obstruction. Na+ content in the hydronephrotic kidney differed from contralateral kidneys only in the inner medulla. The affinity for ouabain (dissociation constant, KD, normal = 3.85 X 10(-9) M; hydronephrotic = 3.05 X 10(-9) M; contralateral = 7.05 X 10(-9) M) was significantly higher only in the outer medulla of contralateral kidneys. Turnover number (normal = 3.6; hydronephrotic = 5.1; contralateral = 3.4 X 10(3) min.-1) in hydronephrotic or contralateral outer medulla was not significantly different from normal. Changes in kinetic constants (association rate constant, k+1, normal = 4.49 X 10(4) M-1 sec.-1; hydronephrotic = 4.13 X 10(4) M-1 sec.-1; contralateral = 5.97 X 10(4) M-1 sec.-1; dissociation rate constant, k-1, normal = 1.03 X 10(-4) sec.-1; hydronephrotic = 1.29 X 10(-4)sec.-1; contralateral = 1.39 X 10(-4) sec.-1) were considered to be too small to be relevant. Similar changes of KD, k+1 and k-1 were observed in the renal cortex. The osmotic concentrating capacity correlated well with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity (r = 0.85) and number of 3H-ouabain binding sites (r = 0.89) in renal outer medulla. The results indicate that recovery of osmotic concentrating capacity depends on the length of obstruction, and that a reduction of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase molecules in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle is a primary factor in the decrease in the concentrating capacity of chronic unilateral hydronephrotic kidneys.

Abstract
The conducting system of the heart has been reported to be more sensitive to the toxic effects of digitalis than the working myocardium. To investigate the molecular basis of these observations, we have characterized the ouabain receptor in Purkinje fibres and ventricular muscle of the digitalis-sensitive sheep heart using cell membrane preparations, crude homogenates and contracting heart tissues. [3H]-Ouabain binding has the following characteristics: in sheep left ventricular cell membranes, specific binding was of high affinity (KD 1.9 X 10(-9) M at 37 degrees); was co-incident with an inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity; and was inhibited by K+ and unlabelled cardiotonic steroids; in crude homogenates, the maximal binding capacity but not the affinity for ouabain varied in different parts of the sheep heart with Purkinje fibres containing markedly fewer binding sites (0.33 X 10(14)/g wet weight; left ventricle, 1.3 X 10(14)/g wet weight) and in isolated, contracting Purkinje fibres and right ventricular moderator band strips, concentration-response curves for [3H]-ouabain binding, increase in force of contraction and inhibition of [86Rb+]-uptake were co-incident. In both contracting tissues, a ouabain concentration of 3 X 10(-7) M occupied about 50% of the specific binding sites, gave the maximal inotropic effect without toxicity and inhibited [86Rb+]-uptake by about 50%. The maximal binding capacity was lower in contracting Purkinje fibres (2 X 10(14) binding sites/g wet weight) than in contracting moderator band strips (3.9 X 10(14) binding sites/g wet weight). The maximal inotropic effects were reached slightly faster in Purkinje fibres but toxicity also occurred faster in these fibers. We conclude that the specific ouabain binding site is the receptor mediating positive inotropy and inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in the sheep heart. Further, this receptor is identical in both the conducting system and working myocardium but the conducting system contains many fewer receptors. This change in receptor number, rather than affinity, may underlie the increased ouabain toxicity observed in Purkinje fibres.

Abstract
Palytoxin (PTX), at extremely low concentrations (0.01-1 nM), caused K+ release from rabbit erythrocytes. Among the various chemical compounds tested, cardiac glycosides potently inhibited the PTX-induced K+ release. The order of inhibitory potency (IC50) was cymarin (0.42 microM) greater than convallatoxin (0.9 microM) greater than ouabain (2.3 microM) greater than digitoxin (88 microM) greater than digoxin (90 microM). Their corresponding aglycones, even at 10 microM, did not inhibit the K+ release, but competitively antagonized the inhibitory effect of the glycosides. All these cardiotonic steroids inhibited the activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase prepared from hog cerebral cortex in narrow concentration ranges (IC50 = 0.15-2.4 microM), suggesting that the inhibition of K+ release is not related to their inhibitory potency on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, and the sugar moiety of cardiac glycosides is involved in the inhibition. On the other hand PTX, at higher concentrations (greater than 0.1 microM), inhibited the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. However, this inhibitory effect of PTX was not antagonized by ouabain. It is suggested that, compared with ouabain, PTX has additional binding site(s) on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.

Abstract
In this study the pharmacological effects of seven semisynthetic cardenolides have been investigated and compared with those of 11 natural cardiac glycosides. These compounds are of different potency on electrically driven isolated guinea-pig atria. Their concentration response curves showed different slopes, which could be an indication of varying therapeutic range. The pharmacodynamics of these compounds on isolated guinea-pig atria are in good correlation with the data obtained from binding studies on guinea-pig ventricular homogenate as well as that obtained from comparative experiments on Na+,K+-ATPase activity inhibition.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the lead structure in cardiac glycosides at the receptor level, i.e. the minimal structural requirement for specific and powerful receptor recognition. Accordingly 73 digitalis-like acting steroids were characterized as to the concentration effecting half-maximum inhibition of Na,K-ATPase from human cardiac muscle under standardized turnover conditions. Since the Ki value equaled the apparent KD value, K'D was expressed in terms of the apparent standard Gibbs energy change delta G degrees' of steroid interaction with Na,K-ATPase. This allowed the use of the extrathermodynamic approach as a rational way of correlating in a quantitative manner, the potency and structure of the various steroidal compounds. The results of the present analysis taken in conjunction with relevant findings reported in the literature, favour the following conclusions. Cassaine, canrenone, prednisolone- and progesterone-3,20-bisguanylhydrazone, and chlormadinol acetate are compounds that are not congeneric with digitalis. The butenolide ring of cardenolides or the analogous side-chains at C17 beta of 5 beta, 14 beta-androstane-3 beta, 14-diol are not pharmacophoric substructures, but merely amplifiers of the interaction energy of the steroid lead. All modifications of the structure, geometry and spatial relationship between the steroid nucleus and butenolide side chain of digitoxigenin all at once weaken the close fit interaction with the steroid and butenolide binding subsites of the enzyme in such way that the cardenolide derivatives interact with the receptor binding site area in whatever orientation that will minimize the Gibbs energy of the steroid-receptor-solvent system. The "butenolide carbonyl oxygen distance model" (Ahmed et al. 1983) for the interpretation of the differences in potency of the cardenolide derivatives describes the change in interaction energy through structural modification as a function of the entire molecule. 5 beta, 14 beta-androstane-3 beta, 14-diol, the steroid nucleus of cardiac glycosides of the digitalis type, is the minimum structure for specific receptor recognition and the key structure for inducing protein conformational change and thus Na,K-ATPase inhibition. It is also the structural requirement for maximum contributions of the butenolide substituent at C17 beta and the sugar substituent at C3 beta-OH to the overall interaction energy, i.e. this steroid nucleus is the lead structure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Binding of [3H]-ouabain to guinea-pig heart membranes enriched in Na+-K+-ATPase revealed two different cardiac glycoside binding sites. High affinity binding was obtained at a KD = 2.2 X 10(-7) mol 1(-1) (Bmax = 16.8 pmol ouabain mg-1 protein) whereas low affinity ouabain binding occurred at a KD much greater than 10(-6) mol 1(-1). To discover whether the two ouabain binding sites are functional in guinea-pig heart muscle, erythrosin B, an inhibitor of the high affinity ouabain binding in rat brain tissue, was tested in guinea-pig isolated heart muscle preparations. Erythrosin B proved to be a potent inhibitor of the Mg2+ (Na+)-dependent-, as well as Na+-K+-activated ATPase (ID50 = 9 X 10(-6) mol 1(-1). Contractility of guinea-pig isolated papillary muscles, however, was not influenced by erythrosin B in concentrations up to 1 X 10(-5) mol 1(-1). Only very high concentrations (4 X 10(-4) mol 1(-1) resulted in a slightly negative inotropic effect (about 20%). Erythrosin B dose-dependently inhibited [3H]-ouabain binding to the Na+-K+-ATPase (KD = - 3.6 X 10(-6) mol 1(-1). In a concentration of 1 X 10(-5) mol 1(-1) the dye abolish high affinity [3H]-ouabain binding without affecting the low affinity binding sites. In contrast, in guinea-pig isolated atria, no functional antagonism between erythrosin B (5 X 10(-5) mol 1(-1) and ouabain was observed. 5 As there is a coincidence between the high affinity binding (KD = 2.2 x 10-7moll ') and the concentration for half maximum inotropic effects of ouabain (EDIo = 1.6 x 10-7 mol I), the lack of effect oferythrosin B on ouabain-induced inotropy may be caused by an inaccessibility of the dye to the (internal) ATP-site of the Na+-K+-ATPase.

Abstract
The number and the in vitro and in vivo affinity of digitalis receptors for digoxin were measured in patients with normal renal function and in uraemics. In uraemic patients the number of receptors was decreased. Although their in vitro affinity for digoxin was unchanged the in vivo affinity was decreased, probably due to hyperkalaemia. These findings provide a possible pharmacodynamic explanation for decreased activity of cardiac glycosides in chronic renal failure.

Abstract
3H-ouabain binding to guinea pig heart NaK-ATPase resulted in two different cardiac glycoside binding sites: A high affinity, low capacity binding was obtained at a KD = 2.6 X 10(-7) mol/l (about 40% of the binding sites) whereas a low affinity, high capacity binding was established at a KD = 1.3 X 10(-6) mol/l (about 60% of the binding sites). Similar results were obtained when studying the effect of increasing Na+-concentrations on ouabain binding: again two distinct processes involved in the Na+/ouabain interaction could be demonstrated. Whereas one ouabain binding process was activated at rather low Na+-concentrations (K0.5 = 4.5 mmol/l), the other ouabain binding process was predominant at high Na+-concentrations only (K0.5 = 69 mmol/l). Comparing these data with the ouabain action on contractile force and with NaK-ATPase activity in guinea pig heart, the high affinity binding of ouabain seems to correlate with the inotropic action, whereas the low affinity ouabain binding is more related to NaK-ATPase inhibition. To further discriminate the two cardiac glycoside binding sites operative in guinea pig heart muscle, erythrosin B, shown to be an inhibitor of the high affinity ouabain binding in this preparation, was applied to isolated guinea pig left atria in the presence of increasing ouabain concentrations. There was no change in the ouabain induced inotropy or toxicity by erythrosin B. These results could indicate that the low affinity ouabain binding is responsible for both inotropic and toxic actions in guinea pig heart. However, the functional significance of the high affinity ouabain binding would then remain obscure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The specific binding of three cardiac glycosides, 3H-ouabain, 3H-digitoxin and 3H-dihydrodigitoxin, to beef cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was compared. Non-specific binding was defined as that in the presence of 0.1 mM unlabelled compound, or in the absence of ligands. The dissociation constants (KD-values) calculated from the inhibition of 3H-ouabain binding were: ouabain, 2.9 X 10(-9)M; digitoxin, 1.1 X 10(-9)M; and dihydrodigitoxin 2.7 X 10(-8)M. The concentrations which inhibited beef cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by 50% were: ouabain, 5.9 X 10(-9)M; digitoxin, 1.6 X 10(-9)M; and dihydrodigitoxin, 2.5 X 10(-8)M. Ouabain and digitoxin showed straight Scatchard plots for one site of high affinity (ouabain, KD = 2.6 X 10(-9)M; digitoxin, KD = 1.7 X 10(-9)M). However, dihydrodigitoxin gave a curved Scatchard plot. Analysis of this binding by the methods of M. J. Weidemann, H. Erdelt and M. Klingenberger (Eur. J. Biochem. 16, 313 (1970) for two binding sites gave the following results: for Mg2+,Pi-supported binding, the KD of the high affinity site was 1.6 X 10(-8)M with a capacity similar to that for ouabain of about 30 pmole/mg protein. For binding supported by Na+,ATP,Mg2+, the KD-value of the high affinity site was 5.3 X 10(-8)M of similar capacity. The low affinity binding site (KD = 4.0 X 10(-6)M for Mg2+,Pi; KD = 5.5 X 10(-6)M for Na+,ATP,Mg2+) bound about 350 pmole/mg protein. The low affinity site but not the high affinity site was also present in heat-denatured enzyme. Binding supported by Mg2+,Pi showed one low affinity site only for ouabain and dihydrodigitoxin in the presence of 200 mM Na+. The high affinity sites for these three cardiac glycosides were further characterized by measurement of the association and dissociation rate constants. The specific binding of 3H-ouabain and 3H-dihydrodigitoxin to human cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was measured. 3H-Ouabain showed a straight Scatchard plot for one high affinity site only (KD = 4.5 X 10(-9) M, capacity about 15 pmole/mg protein). 3H-Dihydrodigitoxin gave two binding sites: a high affinity site (KD = 1.8 X 10(-8) M) of similar capacity to ouabain, and a low affinity site (KD = 2.0 X 10(-6) M) of about 10-fold greater capacity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
We have performed direct and indirect binding studies with [3H]ouabain or [3H]digitoxin on beef or guinea pig cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to measure the potencies of a broad range of cardiotonic steroids for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for comparison with previously determined positive inotropic potencies. The positive inotropic potencies of twelve compounds on contracting guinea pig left atria correlated well with the equilibrium dissociation constants (KD values) from the inhibition of [3H]ouabain binding to guinea pig cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (r = 0.98 for seven 5 beta-compounds, r = 0.95 for five 5 alpha-compounds). Further we calculated KD values from the inhibition of [3H]ouabain binding data for a total of 33 digitalis derivatives on the digitalis-sensitive beef cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. For the 27 compounds tested on both beef cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and guinea pig left atria, the potencies showed a significant correlation (r = 0.92 for 22 5 beta-compounds, r = 0.96 for five 5 alpha-compounds. For seven compounds, KD values were measured on beef cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase using inhibition of binding of [3H]digitoxin. These values correlated well (r = 0.99) with the KD values from the [3H]ouabain studies. These results show that: (1) The significant correlation observed between KD values on guinea pig cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and positive inotropic potency in guinea pig left atria is further evidence that the pharmacological receptor for inotropy is part of the enzyme, (2) Inhibition of the binding of [3H]ouabain or [3H]digitoxin can be used to determine the relative potencies of unlabelled digitalis derivatives. The similar relative potencies on beef and guinea pig cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase of a broad range of digitalis derivatives indicate that the binding site is similar for both species; and (3) SAR studies indicate that functional groups on these steroids have the same influence on potency on either the positive inotropy or cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase studies.

Abstract
An analysis of [3H]ouabain binding to electrically stimulated, contracting guinea pig left atria gave the following results. (1) A non-linear Scatchard plot with at least two binding sites: a high-affinity site (KD 1.1 X 10(-6) M) with about 430 receptors/micron2 related to positive inotropy, and a low-affinity site (KD' 2.1 X 10(-4) M) with about 18,000 receptors/micron2, possibly related to (Na+ + K+)ATPase inhibition. A crude left atrial homogenate gave about 530 receptors/micron2. (2) Half-maximal positive inotropic effects occurred at about 4 X 10(-7) M. (3) 86Rb+-uptake was significantly increased at all inotropic ouabain concentrations (10(-7) - 10(-6) M). Toxic concentrations (above 2 X 10(-6) M) inhibited 86Rb+-uptake (half-maximal inhibition at about 5 X 10(-6) M). [3H]Ouabain binding to partly purified guinea pig cardiac cell membranes showed: (a) linear Scatchard plots for (Mg2+, Pi)- and (Na+, ATP, Mg2+)-supported binding (KD 1.18 X 10(-7) M and 1.49 X 10(-7) M, respectively); (b) non-linear Scatchard plots for (Tyrode + ATP)-supported binding (KD 4.7 X 10(-7) M; KD' 6 X 10(-6) M); and (c) half-maximal [3H]ouabain binding occurred at a lower concentration (about 3.2 X 10(-7) M) than half-maximal inhibition of (Na+ + K+)ATPase activity (about 7.2 X 10(-7) M). Thus, we conclude that there may be more than one type of ouabain binding site in guinea pig left atria, and that measurable inhibition of (Na+ + K+)ATPase is not necessarily related to positive inotropy in the guinea pig.

Abstract
The inhibitory effect of formylated cardiac steroids (gitaloxin and its derivatives) on guinea-pig heart Na, K-ATPase was compared to that of other cardiac steroids with various hydroxy substituents. The decreasing order of potency of aglycones at equilibrium was as follows: gitaloxigenin greater than digitoxigenin greater than ouabagenin greater than digoxigenin greater than gitoxigenin greater than diginatigenin. This sequence was different to the sequence of drugs hydrophobic character. The compounds with hydroxy groups in the vicinity of the lactone ring (gitoxigenin, diginatigenin) were less potent than the hydrophilic compound ouabagenin. We propose that intramolecular bounding between 16 beta-OH and the lactone ring contributes to the relatively low potency of gitoxigenin and diginatigenin. The formylation of 16 beta-OH increased the potency of gitoxigenin by a factor of 41. The formylated compound (gitaloxigenin) was 5-fold more potent than digitoxigenin. The 3 beta-glycosylation of digoxigenin lead to pseudo-irreversible inhibitors of Na, K-ATPase. The half-time to achieve the equilibrium (for 5 mumol/l) was equal to 54 s, 90 s and 108 s respectively for digoxigenin monodigitoxoside, digoxin and desacetyllanatoside C. However, at equilibrium the three glycosides were equipotent, suggesting the existence of steric effects at the sugar site of the receptor. The sequence of potency observed for monodigitoxosides, monodigitalosides and tridigitoxosides after 60 min incubation was similar to that observed for the corresponding aglycones. These results suggest that the strongly negative inductive group 16 beta-OCHO is tightly bound to Na, K-ATPase, possibly to the same receptor site than that which is thought forming hydrogen and ionic bonds with the lactone ring. They show that the high toxicity of gitaloxin in guinea-pig heart is likely due to its high potency as Na, K-ATPase inhibitor.

Abstract
In approximately 10 per cent of patients given digoxin, substantial conversion of the drug to cardioinactive, reduced metabolites (digoxin reduction products, or DRPs) occurs. The site and clinical importance of this conversion is unknown. In four normal volunteers taking digoxin daily for four weeks, urinary excretion of DRPs was greatest after a poorly absorbed tablet was ingested, and least after intravenous administration, Stool cultures from subjects known to make DRPs in vivo ("excretors") converted digoxin to DRPs; cultures from nonexcretors did not. Three excretors were given tablets for 22 to 29 days. A five-day course of erythromycin or tetracycline, administered after a base-line period of 10 to 17 days, markedly reduced or eliminated DRP excretion in urine and stool. Serum digoxin concentrations rose as much as twofold after antibiotics were given. We conclude that in some persons digoxin is inactivated by gastrointestinal bacteria. Changes in the enteric flora may markedly alter the state of digitalization.

Abstract
Dehydro-digitoxosides are metabolites of digitalis glycosides. In order to study their possible biological activity their affinity to (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase was determined and compared with unchanged glycosides. Based on the dissociation constants of glycoside-enzyme-complexes, the affinity of the dehydro-digitoxosides ranged in the same order of magnitude as that of the native glycosides. Comparing mono-, bis-, and tris-digitoxosides of digitoxigenin (dt-1, dt-2, dt-3) and of digoxin (dg-1, dg-2, dg-3) with the corresponding dehydrodigitoxosides (3'-dehydro-dt-1, 9'-dehydro-dt-2, 15'-dehydro-dt3, 3'-dehydro-dg-1 and 9'-dehydro-dg-2, respectively) the dehydro-digitoxosides had lower affinities to the enzyme. The highest dissociation constants (KD) were found for 3'-dehydro-dt-1 and 3'-dehydro-dg-1. The half maximal inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity (I50) coresponded to affinity measurements in all but two cases: dehydro-dt-3 and dehydro-dt-2 showed very low I50 values.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics of 3H-dihydrodigoxin and 3H-digoxin after single intravenous and intraduodenal administration in cats are compared. Data could be described by an open two compartment body model. The beta half-life in plasma of dihydrodigoxin after initial rapid distribution is 4.6h compared to 10.4 h after digoxin administration. The volume of tissue distribution of dihydrodigoxin is 7 times smaller than that of digoxin (0.311 versus 2.051). The "specific uptake" of dihydrodigoxin into myocardium and some other tissues is very low. Over 5.5h the cumulative biliary and urinary elimination of dihydrodigoxin is definitely higher (45.7% versus 14.4%). An unexpected peak in TLC plates after dihydrodigoxin administration in blood, bile and urine was identified to be the sodium salt of the opened lactone structure: dihydrodigoxin acid.

Abstract
1. The specific activity of brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and Mg2+ -ATPase of the ground squirrel (Spermophilus richardsonii) is significantly increased after long-term hibernation. 2. The markedly non-linear thermal dependence of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is unchanged during hibernation whereas the near linear thermal dependence of Mg2+-ATPase undergoes minor alteration after prolonged hibernation. 3. The sensitivity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to inhibition by ouabain is significantly decreased after 100 days of hibernation as is both the rate and amount of [3H]-ouabain binding. 4. These changes may be related to alteration in the phospholipid matrix of the membrane rather than alteration in the protein structure of the enzyme.

Abstract
Cell membranes contain special binding proteins for hormones and drugs. These binding sites ("receptors") located on the outside surface are linked to or are part of an enzyme facing the inner side of the membrane and are transducing and probably amplifying the information carried by the pharmacological agent to the cell. As the first step of their action cardiac glycosides reversibly bind with high affinity to specific receptors in cardiac cells and by this inhibit the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, which is the enzyme system responsible for the active transmembraneous transport of sodium and potassium. It is thought that the inhibition of this active cation transport precedes the positive inotropic effect. Cardio-inactive glycosides have but low affinity to this receptor and thus do inhibit the (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase only at very high concentrations. The characterization of the cardiac glycoside-receptor interaction in the heart reveals several factors that influence the affinity of the binding sites for the glycosides and thereby determine the sensitivity to this widely used group of potent drugs.

Abstract
1. The rate of binding of [3H]ouabain to untreated membrane preparations of [Na+ +K+]-ATPase is a timperature--dependent process displaying a thermal transition close to 25degreesC. The apparent energies of activation which can be calculated above and below this transition are similar to, but not identical with, those previously reported for activation of the enzyme by cations. 2. Treatment of the enzyme preparation with detergents or lipolysis with phospholipase A eliminates the thermal transition resulting in linear Arrhenius plots. 3. The number of sites available for [3H]ouabain binding is not temperature dependent as the amount of [3H]ouabain bound at equillbrium is not changed between 10 and 37 degrees C. 4. Treatment of the enzyme with phospholipase A results in time-dependent changes in the number of binding sites for [3H]ouabain at equilibrium. 5. Treatment of the membrane enzyme preparations with detergents reveals additional [3H]ouabain binding sites which are extremely sensitive to lipolysis with phospholipase A. 6. There are a number of [3H]ouabain binding sites which remain resistant to lipolysis by phospholipase A in either untreated or detergent-treated membrane preparations. 7. It is suggested that [3H]ouabain binding sites exist in the membrane in at least two different environments, one of which is resistant the other sensitive to attack by phopholipase A.

Abstract
1. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from homeotherms and poikilotherms demonstrate non-linear thermal dependence for ATP hydrolysis. Apparent energies of activation from crab nerve preparations are less than those of brain or kidney preparations from beef, rabbit, sheep or ground squirrel. 2. Crab nerve (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is less sensitive to inhibition by ouabain than that from beef or ground squirrel; lower rates of [3H]-ouabain binding and reduced amount of drug bound at equilibrium are found. 3. K+-activated acyl-phosphatase is similar in all preparations. 4. Fluorescence polarization of 12-AS labelled membranes demonstrate greater mobility of crab nerve lipids compared to beef brain which has a thermal transition at 20-25 degrees C. Crab nerve is linear in this range.

Abstract
Specific [3H]ouabain binding to rat and guinea pig skeletal muscle (musculus soleus) was studied using a rapid centrifugation and a filtration method. Both assays gave identical results: the incubation of the cell membranes in 50 mM imidazole/HCl buffer pH 7.25 or 7.4 MgCl2, Pi caused a time dependent loss of (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activity indicating an alteration of the membrane preparation. Ouabain binding properties were changed concomitantly. If ouabain binding was allowed to proceed until equilibrium was reached (3 min in rat and 10 min in guinea pig) at 37 degrees C the data plotted according to Scatchard followed a straight line. The dissociation constants of the ouabain-receptor-complexes of the rat cell membrane preparation as calculated from the slope of the plot (KD = 134 nM) and from the ratio of the dissociation and association rate constants (KD = 175 nM) agreed within experimental error with that determined by Clausen and Hansen [(1974) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 345, 387-404] in intact soleus muscles (KD = 210 nM). If ouabain binding was allowed to proceed for a longer period, however, nonlinear Scatchard plots resulted with an identical maximal number of binding sites but inconstant and decreased affinity for the cardiac glycoside. Experimental evidence is presented that nonlinear Scatchard plots often obtained in hormone (drug)-receptor binding experiments may (among other things) be the result of damaged cell membrane particles in vitro.

Abstract
Stereospecific binding sites for (-) [3H]-alprenolol, a beta-adrenergic antagonist, have been identified in guinea-pig myocardial broken cell preparations. The concentration of the sites was 0.3 pmoles per mg of protein and the dissociation constant (at 37 degrees C) 10(-8) M. A close correlation between the ability of various beta-adrenergic antagonists to compete with tracer alprenolol binding and to block the response of isoprenaline-stimulated myocardial adenylate cyclase has been found. Low affinity sites for the labelled beta-adrenergic antagonist in contrast to stereospecific sites are heat stable and do not discriminate between the (-) and the (+) forms of the beta-adrenergic antagonists. Adenylate cyclase in guinea-pig myocardial tissue is poorly stimulated by isoprenaline or 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate. This is attributed to a high basal activity which could be lowered by a preincubation at 37 degrees C.

Abstract
The concentration of cardiac glycosides in the serum of an individual patient does not necessarily correlate strictly with the known effects or side effects of these drugs. It is good clinical experience for instance that an acutely decreased serum potassium concentration due to diuretic therapy or dialysis may cause severe digitalis-induced arrhythmias in spite of an unchanged serum glycoside level. On the other hand digitalis intoxication often is treated successfully by the application of potassium. These observations prompted us to investigate the specific binding of tritiated g-strophanthin to isolated human cardiac cell membranes in the presence of different potassium concentrations. Potassium in a concentration-dependent manner displaces ouabain from its binding sites by decreasing the affinity of the receptor for the drug. However, the number of receptor sites remains constant. When analysing the association and dissociation rates of the ouabain-receptor complex it was found that potassium inhibits the binding process only, without affecting the dissociation. At least up to a concentration of 5 mM the potassium induced displacement of ouabain from its binding sites seems to be competitive. These in vitro measurements of the strophanthin--receptor interactions agree with clinical observations and are helpful in their explanation.

Abstract
Dissociation of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase ouabain complex, formed in the presence of Mg2+ and inorganic phosphate (Complex II), is inhibited by Mg2+ (21-45%) and the alkali cations Na+ (25-59%) and K+ (27-75%) when kidney cortex tissue (bovine, rabbit, guinea pig) is the enzyme source. Choline chloride at 200 mM, equivalent to the highest concentration of NaCl tested, does not inhibit. Dissociation of Complex II from brain cortex (bovine, rat, rabbit) or heart muscle (rabbit) is much less inhibited: 0-11% by Na+ and 11-19% by K+. The degree of inhibition is not directly related to the size of the dissociation rate constant (k-) of the various complexes, but rather to the extent of interaction between the cation and ouabain binding sites for these tissues. Inhibition curves for Na+ and K+ are sigmoidal. Half-maximal inhibition for rabbit brain and kidney cortex is at 30-40 mM Na+ and 6-10 mM K+, and the maximally inhibitory concentrations are 50-150 and 15-20 mM, respectively. Maximal inhibition by Na+ or K+ for these tissues is the same. For guinea pig kidney cortex Na+ and K+ are almost equally effective, but 150 mM K+ or 200 mM Na+ are still not saturating, and inhibition curves indicate high- and low-affinity binding sites for the alkali cations. The inhibition curve for Mg2+ is not sigmoidal. In the kidney preparations Mg2+ inhibits half-maximally at 0.4-0.5 mM, maximally at 1-3 mM. Maximal inhibition by Mg2+ is higher than by Na+ or K+ for rabbit kidney cortex and lower for guinea pig kidney cortex. There is no competition or additivity among the cations, indicating the existence of different binding sites for Mg2+ and the alkali cations. Complex II differs in stability in the extent of inhibition, in the dependence of inhibition on the cation concentration and in the absence of antagonism between Na+ and K+, from the ouabain complex formed via phosphorylation by ATP (Complex I). This indicates that the phosphorylation states for the complexes are clearly different.
