QuickView for Probenecid (compound)


PubChem
Name: Probenecid
PubChem Compound ID: 4911
Description: The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.
Molecular formula: C13H19NO4S
Molecular weight: 285.36 g/mol
Synonyms:
Robenecid; Prestwick_809; Uricosid; KBio3_001727; Apurina; D00475; Polycillin-BRB; Spectrum3_000554; Spectrum4_000486; SPBio_002504.

Pharmacology
Indication: For the reduction of serum uric acid concentrations in chronic gouty arthritis and tophaceous gout in patients with frequent disabling gout attacks. Has also been effectively used to promote uric acid excretion in hyperuricemia secondary to the administration of thiazide and related diuretics.
Pharmacology:
Probenecid is a uricosuric and renal tubular blocking agent and is used in combination with colchicine to treat chronic gouty arthritis when complicated by frequent, recurrent acute attacks of gout. It inhibits the reabsorption of urate at the proximal convoluted tubule, thus increasing the urinary excretion of uric acid and decreasing serum urate ...

Mechanism of Action:
Probenecid inhibits the tubular reabsorption of urate, thus increasing the urinary excretion of uric acid and decreasing serum urate levels. Probenecid may also reduce plasma binding of urate and inhibit renal secretion of uric acid at subtherapeutic concentrations. The mechanism by which probenecid inhibits renal tubular transport is not known, bu...

Protein binding: 75-95%
Route of elimination: Excreted principally in the urine as monoacyl glucuronide and unchanged drug. Alkalinization of urine increases renal probenecid excretion.
Half Life: 6-12 hours
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
