Ethacrynic acid induced release of prostaglandin E to increase renal blood flow. 1976

H E Williamson, and G R Marchand, and W A Bourland, and D B Farley, and D E Van Orden

Ethacrynic acid administered to anesthetized dogs was found to increase the level of prostaglandin E as determined by radioimmunoassay in renal venous blood at the time when renal blood flow was increased by this agent. No change was found in the renal venous level of prostaglandin F. When ethacrynic acid was administered after treatment with indomethacin, which blocks the increase in renal blood flow induced by the natriuretic agent, no increase in the renal venous level of prostaglandin E was seen. Thus, the dilation of the renal vasculature would appear to be caused by a stimulation of synthesis and release of prostaglandin E by ethacrynic acid.

Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
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.
