Molecular Formula: C6H8ClN7O   Molecular Weight: 229.62702   InChIKey: XSDQTOBWRPYKKA-UHFFFAOYSA-N
A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.
