Cyclic AMP in action of antidiuretic hormone: effects of exogenous cyclic AMP and its new analogue.
Exogenous cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) stimulates the effect of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin (VP), only in pharmacologic quantities and results have often been inconsistent. The present study examined the ability of a new analogue, 8-[p-Cl-phenylthio]cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (C1-PheS-cAMP) to mimic the effect of VP, both biochemically (protein kinase activation) and functionally (hydrosomatic response of perfused collecting tubules) in mammalian kidney tissue. C1PheS-cAMP was found to be about 100 times as effective as cAMP both biochemically and functionally. The increased effectiveness of C1PheS-cAMP is probably is probably due to a greater permeability across the cell membrane and to the resistance of C1PheS-cAMP to enzymatic degradation, Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibition was observed with C1PheS-cAMP, but its contribution to overall effect was minor. C1PheS-cAMP was found to be more effective than exogenous vasopressin, an effect probably due primarily to its resistance to catabolism. The results provide further new evidence that cAMP and protein kinase are involved in the cellular action of vasopressin. C1PheS-cAMP proved to be a useful tool in the study of hormone action, especially in steps subsequent to cAMP generation.
