The measurement of intracellular ion concentrations, and the screening of chemical agents to identify molecules targeting ion transport, has traditionally involved low-throughput techniques. Here we present a novel HPLC method that allows the rapid, high-sensitivity measurement of cell Na(+) and K(+) content, demonstrating its utility by monitoring the ionic changes induced in the intracellular malaria parasite by the new spiroindolone antimalarial KAE609.
细胞内离子浓度的测量,以及筛选针对离子转运的化学试剂的分子,传统上都涉及低通量技术。在这里,我们提出了一种新颖的 HPLC 方法,可实现细胞内 Na(+)和 K(+)含量的快速、高灵敏度测量,通过监测新的螺环吲哚酮抗疟药 KAE609 引起的疟原虫内离子变化,证明了其有用性。
