Diuretic Action of Squill

A Study of the Diuretic Action of Acid Producing Salts.

Studies on anti-diuretic action of protein hydrolysate.

Intravenous transfusion is resorted to in various conditions of malnutrition, hypoproteinaemia and in surgery requiring intravenous alimentation (Elman, 1952; Levy and Siller, 1942; Krishnan, 1944). Being a preparation derived from proteins, several tests for its preparation, freedom from toxicity, and antigenic reactions are laid down in the pharmacopoeia (cf. Basu, Bose and Sen, 1946; U. S.

Diuretic action of garlic extract in anaesthetised normotensive dogs.

Intravenous administration of garlic extract (25.9 mg/kg body weight), significantly increases urinary output in dogs, whjch was also found to be dose dependent. The pH of urine was not altered after the administration of garlic extract. Effect of intravenous administration of Furosemide (1.0 mg/kg b. wt.) was also observed for control comparison. It was found that the garlic in high doses (54....

Ethacrynic Acid: Effectiveness and Mode of Diuretic Action in Man.

ETHACRYNIC ACID is an unsaturated ketone derivative of phenoxyacetic acid* chemically different from other known diuretic agents.' Compounds of this general class have a significant ability to bind sulfhydryl groups in vitro. Ethacrynic acid was shown by Baer and associates2 to be highly effective as a diuretic in the dog, but not in the rat. A preliminary report from this laboratory indicated ...

Furosemide. A clinical evaluation of its diuretic action.

FUROSEMIDE (4 chloro-N[2-furyl methyl] -5-sulfamyl-anthranilic acid) (fig. 1) is a new and potent diuretic compound which is effective when given either orally or parenterally. Structurally it has in common with substituted thiazides a sulfamyl-benzene grouping. Animal studies have revealed it to be a most effective diuretic in both rats and dogs, resulting in maximum diuretic effects of up to ...
