Novel molecular platforms for epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) modulators are claimed in the following six patents: WO2012035158(A1); WO2009074575(A2); WO2011028740(A1); WO2009150137(A2); WO2011079087(A1); WO2008135557(A1). These ENaC inhibitors may be used in blocking transepithelial sodium and consequently water absorption across airway epithelia. This

Intestinal calcium (Ca²⁺) absorption occurs via paracellular and transcellular pathways. Although the transcellular route has been extensively studied, mechanisms mediating paracellular absorption are largely unexplored. Unlike passive diffusion, secondarily active paracellular Ca²⁺ uptake occurs against an electrochemical gradient with water

Zebrafish Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3b (zNHE3b) is highly expressed in the apical membrane of ionocytes where Na(+) is absorbed from ion-poor fresh water against a concentration gradient. Much in vivo data indicated that zNHE3b is involved in Na(+) absorption but not
