1. Patch clamp recording techniques have been used to compare the block caused by amiloride and some of its structural analogues of the mechanosensitive (MS) cation selective channel in frog (Xenopus laevis) oocytes. 2. Like amiloride, the amiloride analogues dimethylamiloride

Amiloride and its derivatives (benzamil, dichlorobenzamil, 5-(N,N-dimethyl)-amiloride, 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride, (N,N-hexamethylene)- amiloride and 5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl)-amiloride) are commonly used as selective blockers of Na+/Ca++ exchange or Na+/H+ exchange. Very little information is currently available regarding their effects on cardiac performance. It was observed that

Mechanotransducer channels at the tips of sensory stereocilia of inner ear hair cells are gated by the tension of 'tip links' interconnecting stereocilia. To ensure maximal sensitivity, tip links are tensioned at rest, resulting in a continuous influx of Ca2+

The hair cell mechanotransduction (MET) channel complex is essential for hearing, yet it's molecular identity and structure remain elusive. The transmembrane channel-like 1 (TMC1) protein localizes to the site of the MET channel, interacts with the tip-link responsible for mechanical

Afferents carried by the superior laryngeal nerve play a primary role in the initiation of laryngeal mechanically evoked swallows in anaesthetized rats. Amiloride and its analogues inhibit swallowing evoked by mechanical stimulation, but not swallowing evoked by chemical and electrical
