title: [(Dihydroindenyl)oxy]alkonic acid inhibits the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
abstract: We investigated the effects of [(dihydroindenyl)oxy]alkaonic acid (DIOA) on the Cl(-) secretion in Calu-3 human airway epithelial cells that exclusively express the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) as an apical Cl(-) channel. The 5'-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoate (NPPB)-sensitive short-circuit current (I(sc)) and apical conductance were markedly reduced by DIOA (100 microM) in the presence and absence of isoproterenol (10 nM). Replacement of the butyl group in DIOA with a methyl group attenuated the inhibitory effects. The ED(50) of DIOA (17.0+/-1.0 microM) was almost equivalent to that of NPPB (15.6+/-2.1 microM). In conclusion, DIOA inhibits CFTR as strongly as NPPB does.
