Popis: We examined the effects of chlorpromazine on NO(3)(-) transport between erythrocytes (RBCs) and extracellular fluid. Chlorpromazine (10 microg/ml) did not influence NO(3)(-) movement in both whole blood and RBC suspension. Though an anion exchanger (AE1) inhibitor DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 100 microM) did not alter NO(3)(-) movement in whole blood, it inhibited the movement in a concentration-dependent manner in the RBC suspension. The inhibition was abrogated by plasma and albumin concentration-dependently. Our results indicated that chlorpromazine had no effect on NO(3)(-) transport through AE1 and that the inertness of DIDS on AE1 in whole blood is due to interference by albumin in plasma.
