title: Ibopamine (SB 7505) in normal subjects and in chronic renal failure: a preliminary report.
abstract: 1 Pharmacological and experimental studies have shown that ibopamine (SB 7505, di-isobutyric ester of N-methyldopamine) is capable of increasing renal blood flow, diuresis, urinary sodium, potassium and creatinine excretion. 2 SB 7505 was given to twelve volunteer patients, six of whom had normal renal function and six with various degrees of chronic renal impairment. 3 In both groups the drug yielded a prompt increase in urinary excretion of water, sodium and potassium, while creatinine clearance was also seen to increase. 4 Heart rate and arterial pressure were unaffected by SB 7505 in all patients. 5 Results seen encouraging and call for further study on the proper use of the drug in clinical nephrology.
