Chloride transport inhibition by various types of ‘loop’ diuretics in fish opercular epithelium

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-COO… Show more

“…Dimethylation of the sulphamoyl group of bumetanide reduced the activity. This is in good accordance with data for fish opercular skin (Eriksson & Wistrand 1986). T h e same effect of dimethylation of furosemide has been seen in the rabbit T A L H (Schlatter et al 1983).…”

“…Cl -secretion by the isolated opercular membrane of killifish is sensitive to serosal bumetanide, piretanide and furosemide (EC 50 of 40, 52 and 295·µmol·l -1 , respectively) and insensitive to DIDS and thiazide type drugs, indicating an operational NKCC-type cotransporter on the basolateral membrane (Eriksson et al, 1985;Eriksson and Wistrand, 1986). Also Cl -secretion is rapidly blocked by K + -free and Na + -free salines (Marshall, 1981), consistent with NKCC mediation of Cl -transport.…”

“…The in vitro mummichog OE bathed in symmetrical saline develops a V t of 15-30 mV, a transepithelial potential that is strongly inhibited by addition of the α-adrenergic agonist clonidine (Marshall et al, 1993) and by the loop diuretics furosemide and bumetanide (Degnan et al, 1977;Eriksson and Wistrand, 1986) and here V t might be taken as being mostly electrogenic, in that full inhibition in symmetrical saline brings the V t close to zero. In these conditions, Na + influx and efflux respond to voltage clamping (+ and −25 mV) and conform to the predicted flux ratio equation, all indicating that Na + moves through a single barrier to Na + diffusion (Degnan and Zadunaisky, 1980).…”
