Effect of acetazolamide on sodium and chloride transport by in vitro rabbit ileum

Abstract: Acetazolamide (8 mM) aboishes active Cl absorption and inhibits but does not abolish active Na absorption by stripped, short-circuited rabbit ileum. These effects are not accompanied by significant changes in the transmural electrical potential difference or short-circuit current. Studies of the undirectional influxes of Na andCl indicate that acetazolamide inhibits the neutral, coupled NaCl influx process at the mucosal membranes. This action appears to explain the observed effect of acetazolamide on activ… Show more

“…We have previously presented evidence that a coupled NaCl influx process is present in colonic mucosa of the rat (33), and the parallel decreases in Ja and Jcl are consistent with inhibition of coupled NaCl influx. In the rabbit ileum and gallbladder coupled NaCl influx processes have been established and can be inhibited by cyclic AMP (34)(35)(36). These present findings and those in both the ileum and gallbladder are very similar.…”

“…Removal of chloride from the incubation saline did not influence the fluxes of sodium, indicating that the process responsible for the net transmural movement of sodium did not include a step which coupled the movements of sodium and chloride analogous to the mechanisms described in studies on gall-bladder and intestine (Frizzell, Koch & Schultz, 1976;Nellans, Frizzell & Schultz, 1975).…”

“…The concentration of acetazolamide required to significantly reduce sodium chloride absorption, however, was greater (1 mM) than the concentration required to inhibit the enzyme in broken cell preparations (0.1 mM) (12,31). Such high concentrations are often needed to inhibit carbonic anhydrase activity in gastrointestinal tissues mounted in Ussing flux chambers (4,18,32). This may reflect the moderate water and lipid solubility of acetazolamide and its limited diffusion into tissues (31).…”
