Publisher's Synopsis
The rapidly growing interest in cation transport phenomena has captured the attention of chemists, biologists and medical scientists. Amiloride and certain of its analogs possess unique Na+-channel, Na+/H+-antiport, Na+/Ca2+-exchange and/or voltage-dependent Ca2+-channel inhibitory activity.;This book reviews the extensive literature on the subject, puts the concepts in perspective, reveals the applications, and regards the future of cation regulating agents in biological sciences and medicine.
