title: A novel quinolinone diuretic, M12285, and its activation mechanism through sulfate conjugation.
abstract: The diuretic activity of a quinolinone oxime diuretic, M12285, was examined after renal arterial, i.v. and portal injection in rats. M12285 injected into the renal artery at a dose of 1 mg/kg caused no diuretic effect, whereas i.v. and portal injections induced marked diuresis dose dependently. The minimum effective dose with portal injection was lower (1 mg/kg) than that with i.v. injection (3 mg/kg) and the start of the effect was faster with portal injection. These results indicated that some metabolic modification in the liver is necessary for the diuretic activity to appear. Accordingly, we performed in situ rat liver perfusion with M12285 and obtained several metabolites. Renal arterial injection of each fractionated metabolite of M12285 revealed that all the diuretic activity derived from one of these metabolites. From IR and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) measurements, the chemical structure of this active metabolite was assumed to be a sulfate-conjugated form of M12285 at the oxime moiety. Based on this tentative chemical structure, we synthesized the oxime sulfate of M12285 (potassium salt, M17000) and confirmed the identity of IR and 1HNMR spectra. Administration of M17000 into the renal artery induced apparent diuresis in a dose-dependent manner in both rats and dogs. These results indicate that the oxime sulfate of M12285 is responsible for the diuretic activity of M12285. Therefore, we synthesized several derivatives of M17000 and confirmed their possible therapeutic value as a novel family of diuretics, namely quinolinone oxime sulfonic acids.
