## Abstract We have demonstrated previously that terbinafine (TB), an oral antifungal agent used in the treatment of superficial mycosis, suppresses proliferation of various cultured human cancer cells __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ by inhibiting DNA synthesis and activating apoptosis. In our study,

In this study, we examined the role of the bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+/CIcotransport in the mitogenic signal of vascular endothelial cell proliferation. The activity of the Na+/K+/CI-cotransport is dramatically decreased in quiescent subconfluent cells, as compared to subconfluent cells growing in the presence of FGF. The Na+/K+/CI-cotransport activity of quiescent subconfluent cultures deprived of FGF decreased to 6%, whereas that of quiescent cells grown to confluency was reduced to only 33% of the activity of subconfluent cells growing in the presence of FGF. The basal low activity of Na+/K+/Cl-cotransport in the quiescent subconfluent vascular endothelial cells was dramatically stimulated by FGF. In order to explore the role of the Na+/K+/CI-cotransport in the mitogenic signal of the endothelial cells, the effect of two specific inhibitors of the cotransport -furosemide and -bumetanide was tested on cell proliferation induced by FGF. Bumetanide and furosemide inhibited synchronized cell proliferation measured by direct counting of cells and by DNA synthesis. Inhibition by fuorsemide
