title: Cation transport probes: the amiloride series.
abstract: The use of amiloride and its analogs in the study of ion transport requires a knowledge of the pharmacology of inhibition of transport proteins, and of effects on enzymes, receptors, and other cellular processes, such as DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, and cellular metabolism. We have reviewed the pharmacology of inhibition of these processes by amiloride an its analogs, as well as the use of amiloride analogs as potential probes for the characterization of ion transport systems.
