title: [Pharmacological studies on diuretics  (8). Diuretic activity and mechanism of action of a new hypotensive diuretic, SE-1520 (author's transl)].
abstract: Effects of SE-1520 were compared with those of thiazide diuretics, hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and trichlormethiazide (TCM) in rats and dogs. SE-1520 in an oral dose of 0.1 approximately 10.0 mg/kg resulted in a strong and dose-dependent increase in urine volume as well as in the urinary excretion of Na+ and Cl-, while that of K+ significantly increased with an oral dose over 3.0 mg/kg. In experimental acidotic, alkalotic, nephritic and spontaneously hypertensive rats, almost the same strong natriuretic activity seen in normal rats was observed with SE-1520. The diuretic potency of these three diuretics in rats was MCT greater than or equal to SE-1520 greater than HCT. SE-1520 also exhibited a strong diuretic activity in dogs. In the renal clearance test of dogs, SE-1520 0.1 approximately 1.0 mg/kg i.v. did not influence the renal plasma flow (RPF) or glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The renal tubular Na+ reabsorption rate decreased by a maximum of 2.11% and the urinary Na+ excretion increased by 15.3 times the normal level 20 min after the injection of SE-1520 in a dose of 1.0 mg/kg i.v. From the results of clearance test and stop flow test in dogs, the site of action of SE-1520 was observed to be mainly in the distal tubules.
