The potency of several amiloride analogues to inhibit electrogenic Na+ transport in colon from dexamethasone-treated rats was compared. Short-circuit current (Isc) across the colonic mucosa and 22Na+ uptake into membrane vesicles derived from colonic enterocytes was determined in dexamethasone-treated rats. Kinetic analysis of inhibition of Isc and 22Na+ uptake revealed the presence of a high- and low-affinity amiloride pathway. One pathway had a high affinity [(Ki-Isc; Ki uptake] to benzamil (15.5 nM; 5.4 nM), phenamil (19.4 nM; 7.0 nM), 3',4'-dichlorobenzamil (29.0 nM; 25.2 nM), and amiloride (115 nM; 12.4 nM) but a much lower affinity to 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA) (greater than 100 microM; greater than 9.9 microM) and 5-(N-propyl-N-butyl)-2'-4'-dichlorobenzamil (PBDCB) (greater than microM; greater than 32.8 microM). The high-affinity pathway accounted for 75-83% of the transport of Na+. The second pathway had nearly the same low affinity for each of the analogues (e.g., amiloride Ki-Isc 1 microM; Ki uptake 4 microM) and accounted for only 15-25% of the transport of Na+. The results demonstrate that the structure-inhibitory pattern of these amiloride analogues for the high-affinity pathway is the pattern observed in other electrogenic Na+-transporting epithelia and that this pharmacological profile is preserved in membrane vesicles derived from colonic enterocytes. In addition, the potency of EIPA and benzamil to inhibit electroneutral Na+ transport across the colon from normal rats (i.e., not treated with dexamethasone) was also investigated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
