Due to enormous changes in the area of diuretics, the second edition has had to be completely revised. Substantial progress has been made in the functional anatomy of the kidney and in the concepts of how substances and ions are specifically transported across the various nephron segments. No one could have foreseen twenty-five years ago that the late 1980s and the early 1990s have provided us with methodologies to study transport events not only at the single cell level, but even at the level of the single transporter molecule. Many of the transporters for ions and organic substances have been cloned meanwhile by the new methods of molecular biology, and their function can be described more precisely by new transport studies such as the patch-clamp technique. These new insights have also led to a new understanding of how the currently used diuretics act. Just a few months ago, the Na+Cl- co-transporter, which is the target of thiazides, the Na+2CI-K+ co-transporter, which is the target of furosemide, and the amiloride sensitive Na+ channel were cloned. Hence, the targets of diuretics have now been identified at the molecular level. In addition, during the past twenty-five years extensive studies have been performed on the pharmacokinetics of diuretics. We have learned how changes in liver metabolism and altered renal excretion influence the pharmacology of this class of compounds. Most recent studies have also focused on the transport of diuretics in the proximal nephron and tell us more about the kidney selectivity of these substances and this specific aspect of pharmacokinetics. Enormous clinical experience, together with our new understanding of the mode of action, has had a major impact on the usage of diuretics. For instance, high dosages of thiazides, which previously were used in the treatment of hypertension, are now regarded as unacceptable and much lower doses have been shown to be equally effective but do not induce comparable side effects. Intentionally, a major focus of the second editon is on basic mech­ anisms: functional anatomy, the physiological and biochemical processes involved in kidney function, metabolism, and the transport of diuretics. Furthermore, the specific chapters dealing with the most frequently used VI Preface groups of diuretics provide a comprehensive update, and the final chapter discusses the clinical use of diuretics as from this year's prospective. We would like to thank Prof. H. Herken, the editor of the first edition, who helped us with the concept of this second edition, and we are very grateful to all the authors for their expert contributions. Finally, we would also like to thank the publisher for its most competent co-operation. Freiburg R. GREGER Hildesheim H. KNAUF Frankfurt E.

There are several LC-MS/MS; WADA; major categories of this drug class and the compounds vary greatly in Drugs of abuse. structure, physicochemical properties, effects on urinary composition and renal haemodynamics, and site mechanism of action. Diuretics are often abused by athletes to excrete water for rapid weight loss and to mask the presence of other banned substances. Because of their abuse by athletes, ’s (WADA) diuretics have been included in the World Anti-Doping Agency list of prohibited substances. The diuretics are routinely screened by anti- doping laboratories as the use of diuretics is banned both in-competition and out-of-competition. This work provides an improved, fast and selective –tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) method liquid chromatography for the screening of 22 diuretics and probenecid in human urine. The samples preparation was performed by liquid-liquid extraction. The limit of detection (LOD) for all substances was between 10-20 ng/ml or better.

  • New Prohibited Substances Addition to Procedures Using Triple Quadrupole LC/MS2 Technique
    Poster MANFRED DONIKE WORKSHOP Pop V, Bican G, Pop A, Lamor M, Zorio M New prohibited substances addition to procedures using triple quadrupole LC/MS2 technique Romanian Doping Control Laboratory, Bucharest, ROMANIA Abstract New substances are added each year to the different classes of substances of WADA’s Prohibited List and have to be included in the test menu of each accredited doping control laboratory. For the analysis of some of these compounds the technique of choice is the LC/MS2 technique. Furthermore, with the decrease of MRPL levels, for stimulants from 500 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL and for narcotics from 200 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL, beginning from the entering in force on 1 January 2013 of the new WADA Technical Document TD2013MRPL, some of the compounds analyzed by the current GC/MS based procedure for stimulants and narcotics needed to be transferred to the LC/MS2 based procedure in order to lower their limit of detection. This paper-work presents the optimal conditions for preparation, separation and identification of new substances introduced to the LC/MS2 technique based procedures during the year 2012. Introduction Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry is increasingly used in doping control laboratories [1]. The current work presents the optimization of the LC/MS2 detection parameters and the introduction of the prohibited substances in the existent procedures, depending on the characteristics of the studied compounds. The studied compounds are benzthiazide, cyclopenthiazide, cyclothiazide, epitizide, hydroflumethiazide and polythiazide (thiazide diuretic compounds), tramadol and its O-desmethyl metabolite (narcotic compound from the monitoring program [2]), cyclazodone, pentetrazole, prolintane, propylhexedrine and selegiline (stimulants transferred from the GC/MS- to the LC/MS2-based procedure due to the decreasing of the MRPL levels for stimulants and narcotics [3]).

  • DIURETICS Diuretics Are Drugs That Promote the Output of Urine Excreted by the Kidneys
    DIURETICS Diuretics are drugs that promote the output of urine excreted by the Kidneys. The primary action of most diuretics is the direct inhibition of Na+ transport at one or more of the four major anatomical sites along the nephron, where Na+ reabsorption takes place. The increased excretion of water and electrolytes by the kidneys is dependent on three different processes viz., glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption (active and passive) and tubular secretion. Diuretics are very effective in the treatment of Cardiac oedema, specifically the one related with congestive heart failure. They are employed extensively in various types of disorders, for example, nephritic syndrome, diabetes insipidus, nutritional oedema, cirrhosis of the liver, hypertension, oedema of pregnancy and also to lower intraocular and cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Therapeutic Uses of Diuretics i) Congestive Heart Failure: The choice of the diuretic would depend on the severity of the disorder. In an emergency like acute pulmonary oedema, intravenous Furosemide or Sodium ethacrynate may be given. In less severe cases. Hydrochlorothiazide or Chlorthalidone may be used. Potassium-sparing diuretics like Spironolactone or Triamterene may be added to thiazide therapy. ii) Essential hypertension: The thiazides usually sever as primary antihypertensive agents. They may be used as sole agents in patients with mild hypertension or combined with other antihypertensives in more severe cases. iii) Hepatic cirrhosis: Potassium-sparing diuretics like Spironolactone may be employed. If Spironolactone alone fails, then a thiazide diuretic can be added cautiously. Furosemide or Ethacrymnic acid may have to be used if the oedema is regractory, together with spironolactone to lessen potassium loss. Serum potassium levels should be monitored periodically.
