Abstract
The presence of an endogenous ‘ouabain like’ compound in rat brain is demonstrated based on the ability of acid acetone extracts of brain to inhibit [3H] ouabain binding and Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Partial purification of the inhibitory activity was achieved by methanol and trichloroacetic acid fractionations followed by Sephadex G-25 chromatography. The results are discussed with relation to the possible role of the endogenous ‘ouabain like’ compound in the regulation of the Na+,K+ pump activity.
