An inhibitory receptor for cardioactive steroids such as digoxin and ouabain is located at the extracellular surface of the Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) molecule. Besides cardioactive steroids, mercury is a potent inhibitor of the Na-K-ATPase activity. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), determined within 30 min at 37 degrees C at 1 microgram protein/ml, was 200 nM, despite the presence of 1 mM EDTA; the IC50 decreased with increasing protein/inhibitor ratio, and it reached 2.7 microM at 0.1 mg protein/ml and 20 microM at 1 mg protein/ml. The IC50 for Na-K-ATPase inhibition by the diuretic compound mersalyl was 4 and 5 microM for the nondiuretic p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid at 0.1 mg protein/ml. The IC50 for HgCl2 inhibition was modulated by the presence of EDTA as well as by the pump ligands Mg, Na, K, and ATP. The E2 conformation of the Na-K-ATPase molecule was more sensitive to HgCl2 than the E1 conformation. The mercury antidote 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid was able to reactivate approximately 70% of the blocked enzyme. In conclusion, a metal-binding domain of the Na-K-ATPase molecule with particular high affinity for Hg(II) was described functionally in the present work. Therefore Na-K-ATPase belongs to the metal-binding proteins. Metals may modulate the cellular expression and activity of the system by interacting with its metal-binding interface.

The first highly stereoselective synthesis of digitoxin is described. The furyl derivative of digitoxigenin was coupled with one unit of digitoxose using our previously described acid catalyzed method. For the second and third glycosylation a new method involving ethyl thioglycosides and 1,3-participation by a p-methoxy benzoate group was developed. As the final step after deprotection of the triglycoside, the 17-furyl group in the steroid aglycone was converted to a butenolide by our oxidative method.
