    Notes: Abstract  Ecto-nucleotidases are plasma membrane-bound enzymes that sequentially dephosphorylate extracellular nucleotides such as ATP. This breakdown of ATP and other nucleotides obscures the characterization and classification of P2 (nucleotide) receptors. We therefore studied suramin and several of its analogs, divalent cations and ATPγS for their ability to inhibit ecto-ATPase in human blood cells. Suramin itself and Ni2+ were the more potent, non-competitive inhibitors with micromolar affinity. ATPγS also displayed micromolar affinity and inhibited ecto-ATPase competitively. The data obtained with the divalent cations demonstrate that coordination of the phosphate chain but not the N7 of the adenine ring is required for the breakdown of ATP by ecto-ATPase. Divalent cations that coordinate both the phosphate chain and N7 inhibit ecto-ATPase in a non-competitive manner.

    Notes: Summary Intravenous injection of the antihypertensive agent R28935 and its pharmacologically less active threo-isomer R29814 resulted in a distribution profile in the cat brain which differed from the regional localization after administration via the left vertebral artery. Although the two isomers had the same physicochemical properties, R28935 penetrated more readily into the CNS. Intravenous administration resulted in almost equal levels in all brain parts, whereas after injection into the vertebral artery caudal structures contained more of both compounds than rostral structures. Differences existed between the concentrations in homotopic brain areas, especially in the brain stem. From comparison of the levels of R28935 after injection of an equiactive dose either i.v. or into the vertebral artery it is tempting to speculate that the mesencephalic tegmentum, the nucleus of the solitary tract, the inferior colliculi and/or the locus coeruleus are possible sites of the hypotensive action.
