Pharmacol Rep 2024:10.1007/s43440-024-00648-8. [PMID: 39261392 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-024-00648-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2024] [Revised: 08/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Loop diuretics became a cornerstone in the therapy of hypervolemia in patients with chronic kidney disease or heart failure. Apart from the influence on water and electrolyte balance, these drugs were shown to inhibit tissue fibrosis and renin-angiotensin-system activity. The kynurenine (KYN) pathway products are suggested to be uremic toxins. Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is synthesized by kynurenine aminotransferases (KATs) in the brain and periphery. The cardiovascular and renal effects of KYNA are well documented. However, high KYNA levels have been correlated with the rate of kidney damage and its complications. Our study aimed to assess the effect of loop diuretics, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, and torasemide on KYNA synthesis and KATs activity in rat kidneys in vitro. METHODS Quantitative analyses of KYNA were performed using fluorimetric HPLC detection. Additionally, molecular docking studies determined the possible interactions of investigated compounds with an active site of KAT I and KAT II. RESULTS All studied drugs inhibited KYNA production in rat kidneys in vitro at 0.5-1.0 mmol/l concentrations. Only ethacrynic acid at 1.0 mmol/l concentration significantly lowered KAT I and KAT II activity in kidney homogenates, whereas other drugs were ineffective. Molecular docking results indicated the common binding site for each of the studied loop diuretics and KYNA. They suggested possible residues involved in their binding to the active site of both KAT I and KAT II model. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals that loop diuretics may decrease KYNA synthesis in rat kidneys in vitro. The presented results warrant further research in the context of KYN pathway activity regulation by loop diuretics.

Abstract
Ethacrynic acid (EA) is a diuretic drug that is widely used to treat high-blood pressure and swelling caused by congestive heart failure or kidney failure. It acts through noncovalent inhibition of the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. Chemically, EA contains a Michael acceptor group that can react covalently with nucleophilic residues in proteins; however, the proteome reactivity of EA remains unexplored. Herein, we took a quantitative chemoproteomic approach to globally profile EA's targets in cancer cells. We discovered that EA induces impaired mitochondrial function accompanied by increased ROS production. Our profiling revealed that EA targets functional proteins on mitochondrial membranes, including adenine nucleotide translocases (ANTs). Site-specific mapping identified that EA covalently modifies a functional cysteine in ANTs, a mutation of which resulted in the rescuing effect on EA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. The newly discovered modes of action offer valuable information to repurpose EA for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Drugs that covalently bond to their biological targets have a long history in drug discovery. A look at drug approvals in recent years suggests that covalent drugs will continue to make impacts on human health for years to come. Although fraught with concerns about toxicity, the high potencies and prolonged effects achievable with covalent drugs may result in less-frequent drug dosing and in wide therapeutic margins for patients. Covalent inhibition can also dissociate drug pharmacodynamics (PD) from pharmacokinetics (PK), which can result in desired drug efficacy for inhibitors that have short systemic exposure. Evidence suggests that there is a reduced risk for the development of resistance against covalent drugs, which is a major challenge in areas such as oncology and infectious disease.

Abstract
Aldehydes are organic compounds that are widespread in nature. They can be formed endogenously by lipid peroxidation (LPO), carbohydrate or metabolism ascorbate autoxidation, amine oxidases, cytochrome P-450s, or myeloperoxidase-catalyzed metabolic activation. This review compares the reactivity of many aldehydes towards biomolecules particularly macromolecules. Furthermore, it includes not only aldehydes of environmental or occupational concerns but also dietary aldehydes and aldehydes formed endogenously by intermediary metabolism. Drugs that are aldehydes or form reactive aldehyde metabolites that cause side-effect toxicity are also included. The effects of these aldehydes on biological function, their contribution to human diseases, and the role of nucleic acid and protein carbonylation/oxidation in mutagenicity and cytotoxicity mechanisms, respectively, as well as carbonyl signal transduction and gene expression, are reviewed. Aldehyde metabolic activation and detoxication by metabolizing enzymes are also reviewed, as well as the toxicological and anticancer therapeutic effects of metabolizing enzyme inhibitors. The human health risks from clinical and animal research studies are reviewed, including aldehydes as haptens in allergenic hypersensitivity diseases, respiratory allergies, and idiosyncratic drug toxicity; the potential carcinogenic risks of the carbonyl body burden; and the toxic effects of aldehydes in liver disease, embryo toxicity/teratogenicity, diabetes/hypertension, sclerosing peritonitis, cerebral ischemia/neurodegenerative diseases, and other aging-associated diseases.

Abstract
Kidneys play an essential role in fluid-ion balance, but the mechanisms of renal handling of water vary depending on structural organization of kidneys and the environment. Fishes and amphibians in a hypoosmotic environment excrete excess water by forming dilute urine, whereas terrestrial tetrapods require water conservation by the kidney for survival. Diluting segments operated by a luminal Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter coupled with a basolateral Na(+)-K(+) pump are essential in forming dilute urine. In birds and mammals, the diluting segment that has the same transport characteristics now serves, with the development of additional architectural organization, for countercurrent urine concentration and water conservation. Recently, a number of aquaporin (AQP) water channels have been identified in various transporting epithelia. AQPs conserve the NPA (asparagine-proline-alanine) motif, forming pores selective to water. Although all vertebrate kidneys presumably possess AQP water channels, AQP homologues have been cloned only from amphibian, avian and mammalian renal systems. Studies on expression sites, function and regulation of AQPs will provide important insight into cellular and molecular mechanisms of epithelial water transport and its control by humoral, neural and hemodynamic mechanisms.

Abstract
AIM The thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TALH) absorbs up to 40% of filtered NaCl in volume-expanded dogs. To examine if a fraction of this absorption is passive, NaHCO3 absorption and associated NaCl absorption in proximal tubules were inhibited by acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. RESULTS Ouabain, a specific inhibitor of Na,K-ATPase activity, reduced the remaining NaCl absorption and renal oxygen consumption in a ratio DeltaNa/DeltaO2 = 18, as expected for active transport. However, the responses to two loop diuretics were DeltaNa/DeltaO2 = 24 for ethacrynic acid and DeltaNa/DeltaO2 = 30 for bumetanide. Both loop diuretics induced potassium secretion. By superimposing ouabain potassium secretion was stopped and DeltaNa/DeltaO2 = 18 restored. Replacement of half of the circulating NaCl with Na2SO4 gave stop-flow pattern similar to those obtained after ethacrynic acid. CONCLUSIONS Low entry of some sodium ions thorugh the apical membrane is permitted despite low chloride supply or blockade by loop diuretics of chloride entry by the Na-K-2Cl transporter. Continued Na-K-ATPase activity causes secretion of potassium ions through the apical ion channel, ethacrynic acid being more kaliuretic and less natriuretic than bumetanide. Greater paracellular recycling of sodium ions after bumetanide maintains ionic balance. In contrast, under normal conditions excess entry of chloride by the Na-K-2Cl-transporter leads to paracellular back-diffusion of chloride rather than paracellular absorption of sodium ions, consistent with DeltaNa/DeltaO2 = 18 after ouabain. Thus all NaCl transport along TALH is active in vivo, whereas absorption of other cations, such as lithium, probably is passive.

Abstract
Rat inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD3s) possess a luminal Na+-dependent, active urea secretory transport process, which is upregulated by water diuresis. In this study of perfused IMCDs microdissected from base (IMCD1), middle (IMCD2), or tip (IMCD3) of the inner medulla, we tested whether furosemide diuresis alters active urea transport. Rats received furosemide (10 mg/d s.c. for 3-4 d) and were compared with pair-fed control rats. Furosemide significantly decreased urine osmolality and urea clearance, and increased blood urea nitrogen. IMCD3s from furosemide-treated rats had significantly lower rates of active urea secretion than IMCD3s from control rats. IMCD2s showed no active urea transport in control or furosemide-treated rats. IMCD1s from control rats had no active urea transport, but IMCD1s from furosemide-treated rats expressed significant rates of active urea reabsorption. In IMCD1s, this active urea reabsorptive transport process was inhibited by: (i) 0. 25 mM phloretin (bath); (ii) 1 mM ouabain (bath); and (iii) replacing bath Na+ with NMDG+; it was stimulated by 10 nM bumetanide (bath). In summary, we found that furosemide decreased active urea secretion in IMCD3s and induced active urea reabsorption in IMCD1s. The new Na+- dependent, active urea reabsorptive transport process may be a basolateral Na+-urea antiporter.

Abstract
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of the loop diuretic ethacrynic acid and its potentially active main metabolite, the ethacrynic acid-cysteine conjugate, in biological material. Simple and rapid sample preparation procedures were established using solid-phase extraction for the parent drug and direct injection after one washing step for the metabolite. HPLC separation was performed on a Spherisorb ODS II (3 microns) analytical column using isocratic elution with different mixtures of mobile phases (phosphoric acid-methanol-acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran or triethylamine buffer-methanol, respectively). The analytes were detected by measuring the UV absorption of the eluate at 275 nm. Stability studies revealed that considerable amounts of ethacrynic acid may be released from the cysteine conjugate unless the urine samples are pH stabilized (pH 3-4). The assay provided high sensitivity with limits of quantification of 20 ng ml-1 for ethacrynic acid in plasma and urine, and 240 ng ml-1 for the cysteine conjugate in urine. All validation parameters were within the required limits. For the presented assays, the applicability to pharmacokinetic studies and routine analyses was proved.

Abstract
The influence of microtubules and F-actin on Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport was investigated in cultured cells derived from outer-medullary thick ascending limb tubules microdissected from the mouse kidney. The cultured cells contained Tamm-Horsfall protein, produced cAMP in response to dD-arginine vasopressin (dD-AVP), isoproterenol, prostaglandin E2 and forskolin (FK), and exhibited an ouabain-resistant furosemide-sensitive (Or-Fs) component of 86Rb+ influx mediated by the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransporter. Both FK and dD-AVP stimulated the Or-Fs component of Rb+ influx. Neither agent altered the tubulin and cytokeratin networks nor the shape of the tight junction using a specific anti-ZO-1 antibody. In contrast, they did induce a marked redistribution of F-actin to the periphery of the cells delineating the tight junctions. Preincubation of the cells with nocodazole, to disrupt microtubules, did not alter the FK- or dD-AVP-elicited Or-Fs Rb+ influx. In contrast, phalloidin and NBD-phallicidin, which stabilize F-actin, markedly impaired the stimulation of Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport by FK or dD-AVP, without affecting the Na(+)-K+ ATPase pumps and the rate constant of 36Cl- and 86Rb+ efflux. These results strongly suggested that cAMP-stimulated Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport is linked to F-actin in renal TAL cells.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of action of a novel 'high ceiling' diuretic, M17055, in in vivo clearance studies with anesthetized dogs during water diuresis and in vitro microperfusion studies of isolated rabbit renal tubules. In the clearance study, intravenous infusion of M17055 (1 mg/kg per h) decreased free water clearance and increased urinary excretion of Na+ and Cl- to a greater extent than did a maximum dose of furosemide (30 mg/kg per h). With the maximum dose of furosemide, an additional dose of M17055 or hydrochlorothiazide resulted in additional suppression of free water clearance. These results indicate that M17055 has some additional mechanisms of action in the distal nephron. In isolated rabbit cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, M17055 applied to the lumen decreased the lumen positive transepithelial voltage at concentrations over 10(-6) M and suppressed the lumen-to-bath 36Cl- flux at 10(-5) M. In the connecting tubule, M17055 added to the lumen suppressed lumen negative transepithelial voltage in a concentration-dependent manner in a range from 10(-4) to 10(-3) M. The effect of M17055 on transepithelial voltage was also observed in the distal convoluted tubule and cortical collecting duct. Moreover, 10(-3) M of M17055 in the lumen significantly decreased the lumen-to-bath 22Na+ flux in the cortical collecting duct. From these observations, it appears that M17055 acts not only on the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop but also on the distal segments via inhibition of electrogenic Na+ transport.

Abstract
1. Mercuric chloride inhibited chloride secretion in a dose dependent way in isolated perfused rectal glands. The effect was readily apparent at a concentration of 10(-6) M and profound and irreversible at 10(-4) M. 2. The dithiol dithiothreitol (DTT) 10(-2) M completely prevented the effect of 10(-6) M mercuric chloride, reduced that at 10(-5) M and 10(-4) M, and made the inhibition at the latter concentration reversible. 3. Two organic mercurials, mersalyl and meralluride, that are effective diuretics in the mammalian kidney, and p-chloromercuribenzoyl sulfonic acid (PCMBS), that has no diuretic activity, had no effect on chloride secretion by the rectal gland. 4. The effect of mersalyl was not modified by lowering the pH of the solution perfusing the glands. 5. These results indicate that inorganic mercury and organic mercurials do not share the same mechanism of action. 6. The absence of an effect of organic mercurials on chloride transport in the rectal gland suggests that its effect on another chloride transporting epithelia, the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, is not mediated by inhibition of the chloride cotransporter or Na+, K(+)-ATPase, common to both epithelia.

Abstract
The hormonal regulation of a Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport was investigated in a renal tubule cell line (RC.SV2 cells) transformed by the simian virus 40. This cell line has the main characteristics of cells from the thick ascending limb of Henle, including the presence of Tamm-Horsfall protein and stimulation of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production by calcitonin (CT). Kinetic studies with 22Na+, 36Cl-, and 86Rb+ indicated the existence of a Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport with a stoichiometry of 1Na+:1K+: 2Cl-. All compounds stimulating cAMP production enhanced the ouabain-resistant bumetanide-sensitive (Or-Bs) Rb+ influx mediated by Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport. CT (100 ng/ml) increased the Or-Bs influx twofold by enhancing maximum velocity without changing the apparent Michaelis constant. The K(+)-channel blocker barium blunted the CT-stimulated Or-Bs influx by 64-74%, whereas the Cl(-)-channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate reduced the CT-stimulated influx by 28-40%. These results suggest that CT stimulates the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport by a cAMP-dependent mechanism and that K+ recycling through K+ membrane channels is an important modulator of cotransporter-mediated ion fluxes.

Abstract
The diuretic activity of a quinolinone oxime diuretic, M12285, was examined after renal arterial, i.v. and portal injection in rats. M12285 injected into the renal artery at a dose of 1 mg/kg caused no diuretic effect, whereas i.v. and portal injections induced marked diuresis dose dependently. The minimum effective dose with portal injection was lower (1 mg/kg) than that with i.v. injection (3 mg/kg) and the start of the effect was faster with portal injection. These results indicated that some metabolic modification in the liver is necessary for the diuretic activity to appear. Accordingly, we performed in situ rat liver perfusion with M12285 and obtained several metabolites. Renal arterial injection of each fractionated metabolite of M12285 revealed that all the diuretic activity derived from one of these metabolites. From IR and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) measurements, the chemical structure of this active metabolite was assumed to be a sulfate-conjugated form of M12285 at the oxime moiety. Based on this tentative chemical structure, we synthesized the oxime sulfate of M12285 (potassium salt, M17000) and confirmed the identity of IR and 1HNMR spectra. Administration of M17000 into the renal artery induced apparent diuresis in a dose-dependent manner in both rats and dogs. These results indicate that the oxime sulfate of M12285 is responsible for the diuretic activity of M12285. Therefore, we synthesized several derivatives of M17000 and confirmed their possible therapeutic value as a novel family of diuretics, namely quinolinone oxime sulfonic acids.

Abstract
Ototoxicity is a disabling adverse effect of several widely used classes of drugs, such as diuretics, anti-inflammatory agents, antineoplastic agents and aminoglycoside antibiotics. High-dose therapy with either diuretics or anti-inflammatory agents is primarily associated with acute and transient impairment of hearing or tinnitus. In contrast, long term treatment with antineoplastic agents or aminoglycoside antibiotics is typically associated with delayed and irreversible loss of hearing; lesion in the organ of Corti include the destruction of auditory sensory cells. Vestibular function can also be compromised by ototoxic drugs. Occasional cases of ototoxicity have been reported for a variety of other therapeutic compounds and environmental toxins. In addition, the simultaneous administration of multiple agents which are potentially ototoxic can lead to synergistic loss of hearing. Exposure to loud noise may also potentiate the hearing loss due to cochleotoxic drugs. Ototoxic agents can impair the sensory processing of sound at many cellular or subcellular sites. However, the molecular mechanisms of ototoxicity have not been established for most of these drugs, and structure-toxicity relationships have not been determined. It has therefore been difficult to predict the ototoxic potential of new drugs, and rational approaches to the prevention of ototoxicity are still lacking. The clinical and experimental features of ototoxicity are reviewed for several classes of drugs, with an emphasis on current knowledge of the mechanism and the possibilities for the prevention of ototoxicity for each.

Abstract
Loop diuretics of the benzoic acid and aryloxyacetic acid families inhibit Na+K+Cl- cotransport. The ranking order of potencies measured in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and the ranking order of affinities for [3H]piretanide receptors on renal plasma membranes are the same. Potencies and affinities correlate well (correlation coefficient r = 0.959 for the medulla and r = 0.951 for the cortex). Therefore, measurement of [3H]piretanide binding is proposed to facilitate screening for loop diuretic action.

Abstract
Four females (27-54 y), presenting with a history of long-term laxative abuse, were admitted to the Medizinische Poliklinik for evaluation of generalized weakness. Laboratory findings revealed signs of Bartter's syndrome, including hypokalemia, systemic alkalosis and normal blood pressure. Three of the four females showed impaired renal function and elevated serum uric acid levels, two of them suffered from recurrent gouty attacks. In our patients the incidence of hyperuricemia and impaired renal function, as a consequence of chronic hypokalemia, was much higher than known from patients with Bartter's syndrome. Hyperuricemia is related to some pathophysiological features of Pseudo-Bartter's syndrome, (e.g. systemic alkalosis, elevated angiotensin) and combined with additional factors (e.g. catabolism, reduced plasma volume) may lead to gouty attacks. Gallstones were found in two of the four females. Long term surreptitious laxative ingestion frequently is observed in females. Hypokalemia, induced by the laxatives, causes reduced intestinal motility and leads to augmented laxative intake. These patients are prone to develop Pseudo-Bartter's syndrome, causing eventually a hyperuricemia and gouty attacks.

Abstract
This review summarizes our present understanding of Na-K-Cl cotransport and its physiological role in absorption and secretion of electrolytes and water in epithelial tissues. In the past several years an extensive literature about this cotransporter has developed due to its widespread distribution in a variety of cell types and its essential role in fluid and electrolyte transport in several epithelial tissues. We summarize this literature and speculate on the future characterization of this transport system. Although this review focuses on cotransport as it relates to absorptive and secretory processes in epithelia, important information concerning the pharmacology, stoichiometry, and regulation of Na-K-Cl cotransport in nonepithelial systems (i.e., erythrocytes, fibroblasts, squid axon, etc.) has been included to supplement areas that are less well established in the epithelial literature.

Abstract
Isolated opercular epithelia of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus), mounted in an Ussing chamber, were used to study the effects of various diuretics on chloride transport, measured as short-circuit current (SCC). The acidic 'loop' diuretics, ethacrynic acid and azosemide, and the basic 'loop' diuretics, muzolimine and MK 447, reduced SCC and exhibited similar dose-effect curves, with EC50s for SCC of 64, 17, greater than 500 and 224 microM, respectively. The alkaline diuretic tizolemide (HOE 740) and the p-COOH-analogue of sulphanilamide were inactive, suggesting that the chloruretic effects of these agents are of a thiazide type. The method can thus discriminate between the effects of loop and thiazide types of diuretics, but not between those of structurally highly different 'loop' diuretics of an acidic and basic nature. Monomethylation of the SO2NH2 group of bumetanide had no effect on the activity of this agent whereas dimethylation reduced it fourfold. The (-)enantiomers of the 'loop' diuretics indacrinone and ozolinone were four and greater than 100 times more active, respectively, than the (+)forms. These results are in accordance with those obtained for the same drugs in the mammalian kidney, and point to the presence of a highly specific binding site for these diuretics. Attempts were also made to explore the prerequisites for binding of the loop diuretic to the active site. Pretreatment of the opercular epithelium with an alpha-L-fucose-binding lectin did not prevent the inhibitory actions of furosemide and indacrinone. Probenecid and (+)ozolinone, both of which block organic anion transport, did not prevent the effects of bumetanide and (-)ozolinone.

Abstract
The tritiated loop diuretic, piretanide, is a useful ligand for specific diuretic receptors which are present in the plasma membranes of renal medullary cells. Its high specific activity (30 Ci X mmol-1) made it possible to demonstrate the existence of a high affinity receptor (Kd approximately 5 nM) and a binding site with low affinity. High affinity binding is saturable, reversible and displaceable by a number of non-radioactive loop diuretics. Structural analogues, devoid of diuretic activity, do not displace piretanide binding. No specific binding occurs in liver or spleen membranes.

Abstract
Embryos of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, kept in sea water containing the calcium antagonists, diltiazem and verapamil, or an anion transport inhibitor, 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene (DIDS), during a developmental period between the mesenchyme blastula and the pluteus corresponding stage, became abnormal plutei with poorly developed arms and quite small spicules. Treatment with ethacrynic acid and furosemide, inhibitors of chloride transport, during the same period of development yielded quasi-normal plutei with poor spicules and somewhat developed arms. In late gastrulae, the inhibitory effects of these calcium antagonists and DIDS on the uptake of 45Ca2+ in whole embryos were as strong as those on 45Ca deposition in spicules, whereas the effects of chloride transport inhibitors on calcium deposition in the spicules were markedly stronger than on its uptake in whole embryos. Electrosilent uptake of Ca2+ seems to be established mainly by coupled influx of chloride in the cells which mediate spicule calcification, and by concomitant influx of anions in the other cells. In swimming blastulae, 45Ca2+ uptake was inhibited by calcium antagonists and DIDS, but not by chloride transport inhibitors. Ca2+ uptake probably becomes coupled with chloride influx only in embryos in which spicule calcification occurs.

Abstract
Ethacrynic acid (EA) highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity was demonstrated in rat brain microsomes. Marker enzyme studies suggested that the EA highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity originated mainly from plasma membranes, and possibly from synaptic vesicles. Oligomycin did not affect the EA highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity. Sulfhydryl reagents, such as N-ethylmaleimide and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), and anion transport inhibitors, such as 4-acetamide-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 4,4'-diisothiocyano-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid and 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene, completely inhibited the EA highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity with apparent Ki values at 5, 5, 8, 8 and 10 microM respectively. Treatment of microsomes with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and ammonium sulfate increased the EA highly sensitive Mg2+ and Na+,K+-ATPase activities, but not EA less sensitive Mg2+- or HCO3-ATPase activity, 2- to 3-fold that in crude microsomes. Relative substrate specificities of ATP much greater than GTP greater than ITP greater than UTP, CTP, a Km for ATP at 0.77 mM, and an optimal pH at pH 7.4 were observed. Among the anions tested (Cl-, Br-, F-, HCO3-, I-, SCN-, NO3-), EA highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity was stimulated significantly by Cl- and reduced by NO3-. These data suggest that a novel, plasma membrane-located and anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity exists in the brain.

Abstract
Potassium secretion may depend on the transport rate of Na, K-ATPase in basolateral cell membranes of distal tubular cells. To examine this hypothesis experiments were performed in anaesthetized dogs during inhibition of proximal potassium reabsorption by acetazolamide or mannitol (fractional potassium excretion 1.2 - 1.4) or additional stimulation of potassium secretion by ethacrynic acid (fractional potassium excretion 2.1). Ouabain in a dose which inhibits 70-80% of the Na, K-ATPase activity reduced fractional potassium excretion to 0.8 - 0.9 by an effect on distal tubular secretion since potassium transport in the proximal tubules was not affected. Ouabain-sensitive potassium excretion varied in proportion to ouabain-sensitive sodium reabsorption during variation in glomerular filtration rate, even at urinary sodium concentrations exceeding 80 mmol X 1(-1). In experiments without ouabain, saline infusion raised potassium excretion and sodium reabsorption until maximal Na,K-ATPase transport rate was reached, as judged from heat production measurements, but not during further increments in urine flow. After inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity by hypokalaemia, potassium excretion and cortical heat production remained constant over a wide range of urine flow and sodium excretion. We conclude that potassium secretion is dependent on intact Na,K-ATPase activity and is stimulated by sodium delivery to the distal nephron until maximal transport rate of the enzyme is reached.

Abstract
We administered the diuretics furosemide and ethacrynic acid to conscious freshwater turtles to assess changes in renal function and plasma renin activity (PRA) in an animal which lacks a loop of Henle. Furosemide (2 and 5 mg/kg) produced no changes in blood pressure, hematocrit, plasma electrolytes, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or PRA. Furosemide doubled urine volume while sodium excretion increased 20-fold and chloride and potassium excretion increased 12-fold (P less than 0.05 in each case). Net potassium secretion was observed. Ethacrynic acid (2 and 5 mg/kg) also produced no changes in blood pressure, hematocrit, plasma electrolytes, or PRA. At the lower dose GFR increased by 40% and urine volume nearly doubled (P Less than 0.05 in each case). Sodium, chloride, and potassium excretion increased roughly 10-fold (P less than 0.05 in each case). At the higher dose, GFR increased by 80% and urine volume more than doubled (P Less than 0.05 in each case). Sodium excretion rose 40-fold, chloride excretion rose 25-fold, and potassium excretion rose 10-fold (P less than 0.05 in each case). At both doses net potassium secretion occurred. The results demonstrate that both drugs inhibit tubular reabsorption in the turtle, acting primarily on distal segments of the nephron. The failure of either drug to alter PRA suggests that the turtle lacks a tubular mechanism for altering renin release.

Abstract
Frog (Rana temporaria) skins were studied in an Ussing type lucite chamber adapted to diminish tissue edge damage. The transepithelial electrical potential difference, short circuit current and direct current (DC) resistance of skins mounted in this chamber were 56, 20 and 24% higher, respectively, than those of skins mounted in a conventional chamber. Amiloride, triamterene, ouabain and ortho-vanadate inhibited short circuit current and net mucosal to serosal flux of 22Na. Amiloride and triamterene had rapid onsets of action and were effective only when administered to the mucosal (pond) side of the skin. Ouabain and ortho-vanadate had slower onsets of action and were effective only when administered to the serosal side of the skin. Steady state of effects of these drugs was not reached within the three-hour period of the experiments. The inhibitory effect of ortho-vanadate was blocked by adding a disulfonic stilbene derivative (DIDS) to the serosal side of the skin. Serosal prostaglandin E2 stimulated the short-circuit current and decreased the DC resistance. Thiazides, acetazolamide and loop diuretics had no effects on Na+ transport by frog skin. Thus, frog skin seems to be a useful model only in studies of the mode of action and the structure-activity relationship of diuretic which act by inhibiting sodium entry or Na+-K+-ATPase activity.

Abstract
The effects of ethacrynic acid on electrolyte and water excretion were examined in 10 neonates with fluid overload states. Ethacrynic acid (1 mg/kg IV) produced a 10-fold increase in FENa+ and FECl - and a sixfold increase in urine volume and osmolar clearance. These effects peaked within 1 hour of ethacrynic acid administration, and progressively decreased to the baseline value by 5 hours after drug administration. The mean excretion of potassium increased by 280% in 1 hour, and returned to baseline value after 5 hours. The mean Ca++ excretion increased fourfold after 1 hour, and the effect lasted for 4 hours. Two infants developed mild hyponatremia. Our data emphasize the prolonged diuretic and saluretic effect of ethacrynic acid in neonates.

Abstract
Reduced concentrating and diluting capacity of the kidney in acute and chronic hypercalcemia may partly be due to inhibition of transcellular sodium reabsorption (RNa) in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. To examine this hypothesis, local heat production and RNa were measured during normo- and hypercalcemia at comparable glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in volume expanded, anesthetized dogs. Changes in proximal RNa which might occur during CaCl2 infusion, were minimized by infusing acetazolamide (75 mg/kg body wt iv). When ultrafiltrable calcium was increased from 1.12 +/- 0.09 to 2.95 +/- 0.10 mmol/l, cortical heat production was unchanged, whereas outer medullary heat production fell by 32 +/- 4%. RNa was reduced by 32 +/- 6%. Bicarbonate reabsorption did not change but calcium reabsorption and potassium excretion increased significantly. The potassium content of cortex and outer medulla increased during hypercalcemia, whereas ouabain, an inhibitor of Na+, K+-ATPase reduces the potassium content. We conclude that hypercalcemia does not inhibit transcellular RNa in the diluting segment by a direct effect on the Na+, K+-ATPase or the mitochondria, but by interfering with the coupled NaCl transport across the luminal cell membrane.

After intravenous application d- ozolinone attenuated l- ozolinone -induced increase in renal fluid, sodium, potassium and chloride excretion. Microperfusion experiments of the loop of Henle in vivo revealed that no interaction between the two stereoisomers occurred at this main site of tubular action of l- ozolinone . Since both isomers share the same organic acid transport pathway in the proximal tubule it is assumed that d- ozolinone attenuates the l- ozolinone -induced diuresis because it depresses proximal secretion of l- ozolinone and thereby partially prevents transfer of this diuretic to the tubular fluid.

Abstract
The Tamm-Horsfall (TH) glycoprotein and the acidic glycosphingolipid sulfogalactosylceramide (SGC) have a strictly superimposable localization on kidney tissue sections. The fact that SGC is a prevalent glycolipid in mammalian brain, prompted us to look for the presence of TH in the rat central nervous system (CNS). An antiserum raised against human TH was found to react with rat CNS homogenate in the complement fixation assay. This anti-TH antiserum recognized a rat CNS protein having an identical electrophoretical mobility on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Indirect immunofluorescence on rat brain tissue sections allowed us to localize this brain TH cross-reacting material to ependymal cells and astrocytic processes such as the Bergmann fibers or astrocytic feet in contact with either the blood vessels or the meninges. All these astroglial structures are also SGC-positive. Since TH and SGC in the kidney are localized on a membrane that possesses an electrogenic Cl-pump, we propose that the astroglial structures which contain these two molecules are also the site of a Cl-transport system.

Abstract
The group of "high ceiling" diuretics consists of a variety of chemically different potent diuretic and saluretic substances. Appart from a few exemptions direct evidence for an action of these substances in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TAL) is still lacking. For furosemide, we have reported recently that it inhibits most likely the Na+-2 Cl--K+ cotransport system present in the lumen membrane of the TAL. The present study tests: 1. whether other "high ceiling" diuretics have a similar site and mode of action, and 2. how modifications of the furosemide molecule alter the inhibitory potency. Isolated cortical TAL (cTAL) segments (n = 185) of rabbit kidneys were perfused in vitro. The equivalent short circuit current (Isc = transepithelial PD/transepithelial resistance), as a measure of active salt transport was correlated to the dose of 64 substances. Several diuretics, such as 2-aminomethyl-4-(1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-6-iodophenol hydrochloride (MK 447), hydrochlorothiazide, muzolimine, etozoline, tizolimide, amiloride, and triamterene were ineffective both from the lumen and basolateral side at concentrations as high as 10(-4) - 10(-3) mol X 1(-1). The phenoxyacetic acids ethacrynic acid, indacrinone (MK 196), and to less an extend tienilic acid were inhibitory active. They differed from furosemide in one or more of the following criteria: delayed onset, incomplete reversibility, stronger action from the bath, different slope of the dose response curve. Similarly, 1-ozolinone acted stronger from the bath. In contrast, the diuretics of the furosemide type and related compounds (bumetanide and piretanide) showed rapid onset and complete reversibility of inhibition. These substances acted stronger from the lumen. The individual positions in the benzyl ring of the diuretics were differently affected by substitutions, leading to parallel shifts in the dose response curves with halfmaximal inhibition at concentrations ranging between 8 X 10(-8) to greater than 10(-4) mol X 1(-1). For these substances the calculated Hill coefficients were close to unity: 0.96 +/- 0.05. We conclude that the so called "high ceiling" or "loop" diuretics consist of at least 3 groups: 1. drugs that do not interfere with the active salt transport in the cTAL segment, 2. drugs that interfere by so far not characterised mechanisms, and 3. drugs of the furosemide type which inhibit the Na+-2 Cl--K+ cotransport system in the lumen membrane of the cTAL segment.

Abstract
The criteria upon which diuretics are classified are based upon their site of action within the nephron. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors act in the proximal tubule, high-ceiling diuretics in the ascending loop of Henle, the thiazides in the early distal tubule and the potassium-sparing diuretics in the late distal tubule and in the collecting duct. According to the localization of carbonic anhydrase acetazolamide acts on three different sites in the proximal tubule cells. The loop diuretics inhibit the secondary active chloride reabsorption. Experiments on the isolated stripped rabbit colon under the condition of stimulated chloride secretion reveal striking similarities between the receptors for chloride reabsorption in the luminal cell membranes of the ascending loop of Henle and in the serosal cell membranes of the colon. The potassium-sparing diuretics act by blocking sodium channels in the distal parts of the nephron. The lumen negative potential difference decreases and potassium secretion is diminished.

Abstract
Thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop have at least three major roles: (1) They reabsorb sodium chloride which dilutes the urine. (2) The reabsorption of sodium chloride also produces concentration gradients that drive the countercurrent multiplier system in the medulla and medullary rays and thus concentrates the urine. (3) They reabsorb large amounts of potassium, calcium, and magnesium in an energy-efficient manner. The mechanisms involved in these functions are reviewed in this paper, emphasizing the results of direct studies on isolated tubule segments.

Abstract
The criteria upon which diuretics are classified is based upon their site of action within the nephron. Carboanhydrase inhibitors act in the proximal tubule, high-ceiling diuretics in the ascending loop of Henle, the thiazides in the early distal tubule and the potassium-sparing diuretics in the late distal tubule and in the collecting duct. On the molecular level diuretics do not inhibit Na+-K+-ATPase but interfere with the permeability of the tubule membranes or transport systems for certain ions and thus also influence the potential differences in the different parts of the nephron. Since carboanhydrase is located in the proximal tubule cells, not only in the cytosol but also in the brushborders and in the peritubular membranes, acetazolamide and other carboanhydrase inhibitors act on three different sites in these cells. The loop diuretics inhibit the secondary active chloride reabsorption. The receptors in this part of the nephron are stereospecific. Only the levorotatory isomere of ozolinone has active diuretic properties whereas the dextrorotatory isomere does not. Perfusion experiments of the loop of Henle with different lectins give evidence that glycoproteins containing alpha-1-fucose are involved in the reabsorption of Na+ and Cl-. Experiments on the isolated stripped rabbit colon under the condition of chloride secretion reveal striking similarities between the receptors for chloride reabsorption in the luminal cell membranes of the ascending loop of Henle and in the serosal cell membranes of the colon. The potassium-sparing diuretics amiloride and triamterene act by blocking sodium channels in the distal parts of the nephron. Thus the lumen negative potential difference decreases and (passive) potassium secretion is diminished.
