title: Stereoselective inhibition of renal organic cation transport in human kidney.
abstract: Amantadine was found to be concentrated by human cortical slices, with apparent Km and Vmax values of 187 +/- 11 microM and 1.37 +/- 0.28 nmol mg-1 min-1 respectively (mean +/- s.e. mean, n = 4). Addition of quinine (8S, 9R-(-)-isomer) or quinidine (8R, 9S-(+)-isomer) competitively inhibited this accumulation (apparent Ki values of 261 +/- 44 (n = 4) and 586 +/- 68 microM (n = 3), respectively). The stereoselectivity of this inhibition is the reverse of that seen with respect to the renal clearances of the diastereoisomers.
