Background:
Carbenoxolone disodium is an inhibitor of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) [1].
11β-HSD is a family of enzymes that regulating the access of glucocorticoids to the steroid receptors.
In bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC), carbenoxolone disodium can block gap junction communication (GJC) and modulates Cx43 expression, which based on junctional patency [2].
Carbenoxolone disodium is an inhibitor of 11β-HSD and causes hypokalemia and hypernatremia. In male rats, 11β-HSD was inhibited in the liver, kidney, pituitary, hippocampus, hypothalamus and amygdala 1h after intraperitoneal administration of CX (100 mg/kg). Injection of CX (1.5mg/kg) into the 3rd ventricle inhibited corticosterone to 11-dehydrocorticosterone by 11-HSD in the hippocampus and pituitary and produced behavioral hyperactivity, while had no effect in the liver or kidney. Injection of CX (10-50ug/rat) into intracerebroventricularly inhibited 11β-HSD differentially in the hypothalamus and hippocampus [1]. These results show that low doses of CX can alter the activity of 11β-HSD in specific brain regions without affecting its activity in peripheral tissues, and only marginally in the pituitary, provides a method to study the central role of this enzyme.
