Fig. 3. Effects of the Nigella arvensis (NA) extract on kinetic
parameters kob, kbo and
KB of the interaction of
6-chloro-3,5-diaminopyrazine-2-carboxamide (CDPC) with the Na+
channel. (A) Effect of stepwise application of apical CDPC concentrations
(ranging from 10 µmol l-1 to 100 µmol l-1) on
short-circuit current (Isc) and transepithelial
conductance (GT) of A6 cells before and after basolateral
(Bl) stimulation with 250 µl l-1 NA extract
(N=6). 50 µmol l-1 amiloride (Ami) was added after the
highest dose of CDPC at the end of the experiment. Solutions were as in
Fig. 1. (B)
2
fc data at different doses of apical CDPC
([CDPC]Ap). The slope and intercept of the linear regressions for
the control (2
fc=7.66[CDPC]Ap+259.29) and
in the presence of NA extract (2
fc=7.64
[CDPC]Ap+281.51) indicate the ON and OFF rates,
respectively, of the interaction between CDPC and the Na+
channel.
