In the experiments carried out with the suspension of the myometrium cell plasmatic membranes treated with 0.1% digitonin solution we investigated the influence of сalixarene С-107 (5,17-diamino(2-pyridyl)methylphosphono-11,23-di-tret-butyl-26,28-dihydroxy-25,27-dipropoxycalix[4]arene) on the Nа+,K+-АТРase activity. It was shown that this calixarene increased the affinity of the enzyme for the sodium pump conventional inhibitor – ouabain: the magnitudes of the seeming­ constant of inhibition I0.5 changed from 26.9 ± 1.3 mM to 10.9 ± 0.6 mM. However the ouabain itself did not influence on the affinity of the Nа+,K+-АТРase for сalixarene С-107.

The aim of our investigation was to determine structural features of calix[4]arene C-99 which are important for its inhibition properties relative to Nа+,K+-ATPase of uterus myocite plasma membrane. Therefore we studied the effect of calix[4]-arenes С-296, С-297, С-424, С-425, С-426, С-427, which are structurally similar to this inhibitor, on the mentioned enzyme activity. We have shown that calixarenes С-296 and С-297 which have two additional propoxy groups on the lower rim of macrocycle are less effective inhibitors of Nа+,K+-ATPase relative to calixa­rene C-99. Calixarenes С-425 and С-427 which have on the upper rim of macrocycle three and four phosponic residues, respectively, also inhibit Nа+,K+-ATPase activity less effectively as compared to calixarene C-99. Both calixarenes: С-424, which has only two carbonate residues on the upper rim, and С-426, which has on the upper rim ketomethilphosphonate residues instead of hydro­xymethilphosphonate residues of calixarene C-99, do not affect Nа+,K+-ATPase activity. We have made respective conclusions concerning the role of certain chemical groups of calixarene C-99 during­ its interaction with Nа+,K+-ATPase.

Plasma membrane Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase is an important element of general myometrium tonus control mechanism, which also makes a contribution to muscle tension relaxation after its contraction. Expiriments were done on the myometrial cell plasma membrane suspension, which was treated with 0.1% digitonin solution. The authors have investigated the inhibitory action of calix[4]arene C-90 (5,11,17,23-tetra(trifluor)methyl(phenylsulphonylimino)-methylamino-25,26,27,28-tetra propoxi-calix[4]arene) on the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity (the magnitude of І0.5 was 20.2 ± 0.5 mkM). The inhibitory action of calix[4]arene C-90 on the activity of Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase is explained as cooperative action of four trifluormethyl(phenylsulfonylimino)methylamino groups that are spatially oriented on the calix[4]-arene base rather than with the action of tetraphenol macrocycle or separate pharmacophore sulphonilamidin groups. Conside­ring established kinetic pattern of calix[4]arene C-90 inhibitory action on the plasma membrane Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase­ activity, stationary kinetical model of basal calcium concentration control in unexcited uterus myocytes was develo­ped. It is assumed that obtained results may be promising for creation of new generation (“supramolecular”) pharmacological agent – uterus basal tonus stimulator – on the base of calix[4]arene C-90.
