Aim: Potassium transport via the potassium chloride cotransporter in rainbow trout erythrocytes is increased by high oxygen tension. It appears that the effect of oxygen is mediated by reactive oxygen species, especially hydroxyl radicals. In contrast, the activity of adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchange decreases with increasing oxygen tension. As available data suggest that the two transporters are regulated reciprocally, the present study was undertaken to evaluate, if hydroxyl radicals may inhibit sodium transport via the adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchanger.
Methods: The effects of the hydroxyl radical scavenger, 2 mm mercaptopropionyl glycine (MPG), on the activity of the adrenergically activated sodium proton exchange in rainbow trout erythrocytes were examined by measuring unidirectional sodium flux, using radioactive isotope, and cellular water content.
Results: The activity of the sodium proton exchange increased with decreasing oxygen tension after adrenergic stimulation. When MPG was present during incubation, there was no statistically significant effect of oxygen tension on the adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchange, whereby the activity of the transporter at atmospheric oxygen tension was markedly higher in the presence than in the absence of MPG. In the absence of adrenergic stimulation, MPG did not influence the transporter activity significantly at any oxygen tension.
Conclusion: The data suggest that hydroxyl radicals are involved in the inhibition of the adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchange at elevated oxygen tensions.

Renal tubular acidoses (RTAs) are a subset of non-anion gap metabolic acidoses that result from complex disturbances in renal acid excretion. Net acid excretion is primarily accomplished through the reclamation of sodium bicarbonate and the buffering of secreted protons with ammonia or dibasic phosphate, all of which require a series of highly complex and coordinated processes along the renal tubule. Flaws in any of these components lead to the development of metabolic acidosis and/or a failure to compensate fully for other systemic acidoses.

We report the rapid synthesis of primary amides by directly using commercially available ammonia borane (NH·BH), sodium hexamethyldisilazide (NaHMDS), and esters. The success of this protocol relies on NH·BH as the nitrogen source being considerably more convenient and NaHMDS being an excellent proton abstractor but not participating in the nucleophilic addition reaction. The reaction had a wide substrate scope containing bioactive molecules, and most of the substrates were efficiently amidated over 90% yields.
