title: [Animal experimental and human pharmacologic studies with phase-II metabolites of triamterene].
abstract: Animal Experiments and Human Studies with the Phase-II Metabolite of Triamterene The described animal experiments as well as the pharmacological investigations in man show the diuretic efficacy of the phase-II metabolite of triamterene (CAS 396-01-0), OH-TA-ester. As demonstrated in the present investigation, a phase-II metabolite can not be considered only as an ineffective conjugation product, formed to accomplish the excretion of a foreign compound, but also it must be considered as an important factor in the therapy, if its pharmacologic efficacy has been established, moreover if as a result of disease-related alterations in the pharmacokinetics the phase-II metabolite cumulates.
