Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the basic triamterene analogue dimethylaminohydroxypropoxytriamterene
Abstract:
The diuretic, natriuretic and potassium retaining effects of dimethylaminohydroxypropoxytriamterene (RPH 2823), a basic triamterene derivative, were studied in male Wistar rats. Compared to triamterene (TA) RPH 2823 has a pronounced effect on urine volume and on the excretion of sodium; in addition it possesses a higher antikaliuretic potency than TA. In combination with furosemide, 2.5 mumol/kg RPH 2823 can avoid the kaliuresis of 25 mumol/kg furosemide. The pharmacokinetics of RPH 2823 after i.v. application of 1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg were studied in female rats. The substance is not metabolized. RPH 2823 has a terminal elimination half-life of 3 h. About 47% of the given dose are excreted unchanged with urine. Furthermore, the volume of distribution VD beta and the total body clearance were calculated.

Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or within...
