Abstract

Halenaquinol, a natural cardioactive pentacyclic hydroquinone from the sponge Petrosia seriata, was found to be a powerful inhibitor of the rat brainstem and of the rat brain cortex Na+, K+-ATPases and the rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase with I50 values of 7.0 x 10-7, 1.3 x 10-6 and 2.5 x 10-6 M, respectively. Halenaquinol also inhibited K+-phosphatase activity of the rat brain cortex Na+, K+-ATPase with an I50 value of 3 x 10-6 M. Ouabain-insensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity of the microsomal fraction of the rat brain cortex was weakly inhibited by halenaquinol. Inhibition was irreversible, dose- and time-dependent. Naphthohydroquinone fragment in structures of halenaquinol, related natural and model compounds was very important for an inhibiting effect.
