The invention provides methods for modulating sodium ion absorption by epithelial cells, by treating epithelial cells or administering to a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a sodium uptake modulating inositol polyphosphate compound. The sodium uptake modulating inositol polyphosphate compound can be designed to inhibit or enhance sodium uptake. Representative sodium uptake inhibiting inositol polyphosphate compounds include, for example, 1-octyl-2-O-bu-tyryl-inositol 3,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate propionoxymethyl ester (INO E2).
