Abstract
There is a wide range of potential applications of inorganic compounds, and metal coordination complexes in particular, in medicine but progress is hampered by a lack of methods to study their speciation. The biological activity of metal complexes is determined by the metal itself, its oxidation state, the types and number of coordinated ligands and their strength of binding, the geometry of the complex, redox potential and ligand exchange rates. For organic drugs a variety of readily observed spin I = 1/2 nuclei can be used (1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, 31P), but only a few metals fall into this category. Most are quadrupolar nuclei giving rise to broad lines with low detection sensitivity (for biological systems). However we show that, in some cases, heteronuclear NMR studies can provide new insights into the biological and medicinal chemistry of a range of elements and these data will stimulate further advances in this area.

Abstract
(39)K nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure the efflux of K(+) from suspensions of human erythrocytes [red blood cells (RBCs)], that occurred in response to the calcium ionophore, A23187 and calcium ions; the latter activate the Gárdos channel. Signals from the intra- and extracellular populations of (39)K(+) were selected on the basis of their longitudinal relaxation times, T (1), by using an inversion- recovery pulse sequence with the mixing time, tau(1), chosen to null one or other of the signals. Changes in RBC volume consequent upon efflux of the ions also changed the T (1) values so a new theory was implemented to obviate a potential artefact in the data analysis. The velocity of the K(+) efflux mediated by the Gárdos channel was 1.19+/-0.40 mmol (L RBC)(-1) min(-1) at 37 degrees C.

Abstract
Evidence for competition between Li(+) and Na(+) for binding sites of human unsealed and cytoskeleton-depleted human red blood cell (csdRBC) membranes was obtained from the effect of added Li(+) upon the (23)Na double quantum filtered (DQF) and triple quantum filtered (TQF) NMR signals of Na(+)-containing red blood cell (RBC) membrane suspensions. We found that, at low ionic strength, the observed quenching effect of Li(+) on the (23)Na TQF and DQF signal intensity probed Li(+)/Na(+) competition for isotropic binding sites only. Membrane cytoskeleton depletion significantly decreased the isotropic signal intensity, strongly affecting the binding of Na(+) to isotropic membrane sites, but had no effect on Li(+)/Na(+) competition for those sites. Through the observed (23)Na DQF NMR spectra, which allow probing of both isotropic and anisotropic Na(+) motion, we found anisotropic membrane binding sites for Na(+) when the total ionic strength was higher than 40 mM. This is a consequence of ionic strength effects on the conformation of the cytoskeleton, in particular on the dimer-tetramer equilibrium of spectrin. The determinant involvement of the cytoskeleton in the anisotropy of Na(+) motion at the membrane surface was demonstrated by the isotropy of the DQF spectra of csdRBC membranes even at high ionic strength. Li(+) addition initially quenched the isotropic signal the most, indicating preferential Li(+)/Na(+) competition for the isotropic membrane sites. High ionic strength also increased the intensity of the anisotropic signal, due to its effect on the restructuring of the membrane cytoskeleton. Further Li(+) addition competed with Na(+) for those sites, quenching the anisotropic signal. (7)Li T(1) relaxation data for Li(+)-containing suspensions of unsealed and csdRBC membranes, in the absence and presence of Na(+) at low ionic strength, showed that cytoskeleton depletion does not affect the affinity of Na(+) for the RBC membrane, but increases the affinity of Li(+) by 50%. This clearly indicates that cytoskeleton depletion favors Li(+) relative to Na(+) binding, and thus Li(+)/Na(+) competition for its isotropic sites. Thus, this relaxation technique proves to be very sensitive to alkali metal binding to the membrane, detecting a more pronounced steric hindrance effect of the cytoskeleton network to binding of the larger hydrated Li(+) ion to the membrane phosphate groups.

Abstract
133Cs NMR chemical shifts and relaxation times have been measured for tissue samples in vitro and in vivo from rats which have been fed on a high cesium, low potassium diet, which leads to a predominantly intracellular distribution of this ion, similar to that of K+. The high sensitivity, large chemical shift range, and narrow linewidths of 133Cs, compared with 39K, allow chemical shift differences to be observed between tissues, and in subcellular organelles such as mitochondria. For example, in vitro tissue chemical shifts, relative to 150 mM CsCl, are 1.06 +/- 0.11 ppm for liver, 0.02 +/- 0.05 ppm for brain, 1.76 +/- 0.20 ppm for erythrocytes, and -0.13 +/- 0.02 ppm for plasma. T1 and spin-echo T2 values range from 1.26 +/- 0.05 s (T1), and 0.028 +/- 0.006 s (T2) for liver, to 6.49 +/- 0.19 s and 1.12 +/- 0.03 s for plasma. 133Cs relaxation times show the same relative trends between tissues as are observed in 39K tissue studies.

Abstract
Using 31P-, 23Na- and 39K-NMR, we assessed ischemic changes in high energy phosphates and ion contents of isolated perfused rat hearts continuously and systematically. To discriminate intra- and extracellular Na+, a shift reagent (Dy(TTHA)3-) was used in 23Na-NMR study. In 39K-NMR study, the extracellular K+ signal was suppressed by inversion recovery pulse sequence in order to obtain intracellular K+ signal without using shift reagents. During the early period of ischemia, increases in intracellular Na+ and inorganic phosphate (Pi) were observed in addition to the well-documented decreases in creatine phosphate and ATP and a fall of intracellular pH, suggesting an augmented operation of Na(+)-H+ exchange triggered by a fall of the intracellular pH resulted from breakdown of ATP. At around 15 min of ischemia, a second larger increase in intracellular Na+ and a decrease in intracellular K+ were observed in association with a second increase in Pi. This was accompanied by an abrupt rise of the ventricular end-diastolic pressure. As there was a depletion of ATP at this time, the increase in intracellular Na+ and associated decrease in intracellular K+ may be explained by inhibition of the Na(+)-K+ ATPase due to the depletion of ATP. A longer observation with 31P-NMR revealed a second phosphate peak (at lower magnetic field to ordinary Pi peak) which increased its intensity as ischemic time lengthened. The pH of this 2nd peak changed in parallel with the changes in pH of the bathing solution, indicating the appearance of a compartment whose hydrogen concentration is in equilibrium with that of the external compartment. Thus, the peak could be used as an index of irreversible membrane damage of the myocardium.

Abstract
The double-quantum behavior of 23Na in the presence of different concentrations of Li in human erythrocytes was investigated. The 23Na double-quantum signal was quenched in both the extracellular and the intracellular compartments with increasing concentration of Li in each compartment, along with an increase in the 23Na T1 both intra- and extracellularly. Some extracellular quenching could be observed at the near therapeutic concentration of 2 mM Li. The ratio of slow to fast spin-spin (T2) relaxation times, obtained from the dependence of the double-quantum signal on creation time, approached unity at an overall Li concentration of 40 mM. These results provide evidence that Li and Na compete for both intra- and extracellular binding sites in erythrocytes.

Abstract
Single and multiple quantum nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the motional dynamics of sodium and potassium ions in concentrated protein solution, represented in this study by cortical and nuclear bovine lens tissue homogenates. Both ions displayed homogeneous biexponential magnetic relaxation behavior. Furthermore, the NMR relaxation behavior of these ions in lens homogenates was consistent either with a model that assumed the occurrence of two predominant ionic populations, "free" and "bound," in fast exchange with each other or with a model that assumed an asymmetric Gaussian distribution of correlation times. Regardless of the model employed, both ions were found to occur in a predominantly "free" or "unbound" rapidly reorienting state. The fraction of "bound" 23Na+, assuming a discrete two-site model, was approximately 0.006 and 0.017 for cortical and nuclear homogenates, respectively. Corresponding values for 39K+ were 0.003 and 0.007, respectively. Estimated values for the fraction of "bound" 23Na+ or 39K+ obtained from the distribution model (tau C greater than omega L-1) were less than or equal to 0.05 for all cases examined. The correlation times of the "bound" ions, derived using either a two-site or distribution model, yielded values that were at least one order of magnitude smaller than the reorientational motion of the constituent lens proteins. This observation implies that the apparent correlation time for ion binding is dominated by processes other than protein reorientational motion, most likely fast exchange between "free" and "bound" environments. The results of NMR visibility studies were consistent with the above findings, in agreement with other studies performed by non-NMR methods. These studies, in combination with those presented in the literature, suggest that the most likely role for sodium and potassium ions in the lens appears to be the regulation of cell volume by affecting the intralenticular water chemical potential.

Abstract
Rubidium is a good substitute for potassium in many biological systems, and it has been suggested that rubidium-87 nuclear magnetic resonance (87Rb-NMR) spectroscopy could be used to measure K+ fluxes across membranes in intact tissues. To evaluate this possibility, isolated rat mandibular salivary glands were perfused with solutions containing Rb+ in place of K+. The 87Rb signals arising from the intra- and extracellular compartments were first separated by spectral subtraction and then subjected to line-shape analysis. The narrow extracellular signal was a single Lorentzian (line-width 156 Hz), whereas the broader intracellular signal consisted of two Lorentzian components (ca. 530 and 3080 Hz). Double-quantum filtering of the 87Rb signal from the glands revealed two components of transverse relaxation in antiphase (rate constants 1.8 and 13.3 ms-1), showing the probable involvement of quadrupolar interactions in the relaxation of intracellular Rb+. We conclude, therefore, that both line-shape analysis and double-quantum filtering could provide a basis for the measurement of unidirectional K+ fluxes in intact tissues.
