Diuretic activity of Mannich base derivatives of ethacrynic acid and certain ethacrynic acid analogues. 1978

D A Koechel, and G O Rankin

Various Mannich base derivatives of selected phenoxyacetic acid type diuretics were synthesized and their diuretic potency was evaluated in dogs. It is concluded that the Mannich bases possess little, if any, diuretic activity of their own. Those Mannich bases that do possess diuretic activity undoubtedly do so as a consequence of an elimination reaction (a retro-Michael type reaction) which yields the corresponding pharmacologically active alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone.

D008352	Mannich Bases	Ketonic amines prepared from the condensation of a ketone with formaldehyde and ammonia or a primary or secondary amine. A Mannich base can act as the equivalent of an alpha,beta unsaturated ketone in synthesis or can be reduced to form physiologically active amino alcohols.	Mannich Base,Base, Mannich,Bases, Mannich
D011188	Potassium	An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.

D004976	Ethacrynic Acid	A compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of Henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. This pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. This compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.
