Ammonium chloride, a known inhibitor of lysosomal function, was found to be a rapid and potent inhibitor of 45Ca release from fetal rat bones in organ culture. The response to parathyroid hormone and prostaglandin E2 was inhibited in a dose-related, reversible fashion. The activity of the lysosomal enzyme beta-glucuronidase in the medium closely paralleled 45Ca release. Ammonium chloride may now be added to the list of antilysosomal agents that inhibit bone resorption in vitro.
