4-Acetamido-4'-isothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene (SITS) and 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene (DIDS) effects have been tested both in the basolateral membranes (BLMs) of jejunum enterocytes and in the same intestinal tract, everted and incubated "in vitro". Total and (Na,K)-ATPase activities of BLMs are inhibited in a similar way by the two disulfonic stilbenes as well as the fluid transintestinal transport in the everted intestine; on the contrary cell Na and K are unaffected. SITS and DIDS inhibition of (Na,K)-ATPase seems to take place at the cytoplasmic side of the BLM.
