title: Binding of loop diuretics to their renal receptors: use as a screening model for potential diuretic activity.
abstract: Loop diuretics of the benzoic acid and aryloxyacetic acid families inhibit Na+K+Cl- cotransport. The ranking order of potencies measured in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and the ranking order of affinities for [3H]piretanide receptors on renal plasma membranes are the same. Potencies and affinities correlate well (correlation coefficient r = 0.959 for the medulla and r = 0.951 for the cortex). Therefore, measurement of [3H]piretanide binding is proposed to facilitate screening for loop diuretic action.
