Name: | Indapamide |
---|---|
PubChem Compound ID: | 3702 |
Description: | A benzamide-sulfonamide-indole. It is called a thiazide-like diuretic but structure is different enough (lacking the thiazo-ring) so it is not clear that the mechanism is comparable. |
Molecular formula: | C16H16ClN3O3S |
Molecular weight: | 365.835 g/mol |
Synonyms: |
RHC 2555; SE-1520; Cormil; NINDS_000508; Tandix; KBio2_006533; KBioGR_000393; Benzamide, 3-(aminosulfonyl)-4-chloro-N-(2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-1H-indol-1-yl)- (9CI); Indapamida [INN-Spanish]; EINECS 248-012-7.

Pharmacology: |
Indapamide is an antihypertensive and a diuretic. It contains both a polar sulfamoyl chlorobenzamide moiety and a lipid- soluble methylindoline moiety. Indapamide bears a structural similarity to the triazide diuretics which are known to decrease vascular smooth muscle reactivity. However, it differs chemically from the thiazides in that it does no...

Mechanism of Action: | Indapamide blocks the slow component of delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs) without altering the rapid component (IKr) or the inward rectifier current. Specifically it blocks or antagonizes the action the proteins KCNQ1 and KCNE1. Indapamide is also thought to stimulate the synthesis of the vasodilatory hypotensive prostaglandin PGE2. |
Absorption: | Rapidly absorbed from gastrointestinal tract. |
Protein binding: | 71-79% |
Biotransformation: | Primarily hepatic. Indapamide is an extensively metabolized drug with only about 7+ACU- of the total dose administered, recovered in the urine as unchanged drug during the first 48 hours after administration. |
Route of elimination: | Indapamide is an extensively metabolized drug, with only about 7% of the total dose administered, recovered in the urine as unchanged drug during the first 48 hours after administration. |
Half Life: | 14 hours (biphasic) |
Toxicity: | Side effects include electrolyte imbalance (potassium or salt depletion due to too much fluid loss), nausea, stomach disorders, vomiting, weakness |
Affected organisms: | Humans and other mammals |
