The target‐specific transporter and current status of diuretics as antihypertensive

Abstract: The currently available diuretics increase the urinary excretion of sodium chloride by selective inhibition of specific sodium transporters in the loop of Henle and distal nephron. In recent years, the molecular cloning of the diuretic-sensitive sodium transporters at distal convoluted tubule has improved our understanding of the cellular mechanisms of action of each class of diuretics. Diuretics are tools of considerable therapeutic importance. First, they effectively reduce blood pressure. Loop and thiazide … Show more

“…Approximately 98% of furosemide bounds to plasma proteins and the GFR of the drug is very low 18,19. Hence, for exerting this effect, it is necessary that furosemide should be actively secreted from the proximal tubule via the organic anion transporter-1 20,21. In point of fact, the response to furosemide is directly related to its urinary concentrations 20.…”

“…Hence, for exerting this effect, it is necessary that furosemide should be actively secreted from the proximal tubule via the organic anion transporter-1 20,21. In point of fact, the response to furosemide is directly related to its urinary concentrations 20. At severe renal injury, this transporting capacity of proximal tubule may be affected extensively; moreover, at such patient the furosemide may not be able to reach to its action site.…”

“…Diuretics are a heterogeneous group of drugs, and with the exception of vasopressin receptor antagonists and mannitol, their primary action is to impair sodium reabsorption at different sites along the tubule, thereby increasing urinary excretion of sodium and chloride and inducing increased water excretion 98,99 . Different types of diuretics are available and this review will focus on loop, thiazide and potassium‐sparing diuretics (PSD).…”

“…Recently, integration of genetics and molecular cloning of the diuretic‐sensitive sodium transporters in the convoluted tubule has improved the understanding of the cellular mechanisms of action and has led to new targets for safer and more efficacious diuretics. Some targets that have been identified and are being assessed include pendrin and the renal outer medullary K + channel, ROMK.…”
