Summary Fluctuation analysis of Na current passing the apical membrane in the skin ofRana ridibunda was used to study the kinetics of Na-channel blocking by several organic cations present in the outer solution together with 60mm Na. The ratios of the apparent off-rate and on-rate constants (the microscopic inhibition constants) thus obtained for triamterene, triaminopyrimidine (TAP), 5,6-diCl-amiloride, 5H-amiloride and amiloride itself are found to be in the mean about sevenfold smaller than the corresponding inhibition constants obtained from macroscopic dose-response curves. The apparent discrepancy is explicable by competition of the organic blocker with the channel block by Na ions (the self-inhibition effect). The type of interaction between extrinsic blockage and self-inhibition may be purely competitive or mixed. However, in case of mixed inhibition the competitive component must dominate the noncompetitive component by at least seven to one.
