QUICK LINKS

Quinethazone, also known as hydromox or chinethazonum, is an organic compound belonging to the class of quinazolines. It acts as a long-acting, thiazide-like diuretic by inhibiting active chloride reabsorption at the early distal tubule via the Na-Cl cotransporter, which leads to an increase in the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. As a result, it is detected in biofluids such as urine and blood. Quinethazone is slightly soluble in water and is weakly acidic. It is primarily located in the cytoplasm of cells and can be converted into quinethazone by the enzyme solute carrier family 22 member 6. In addition, thiazides like quinethazone also inhibit sodium ion transport across the renal tubular epithelium through binding to the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride transporter, leading to an increase in potassium excretion via the sodium-potassium exchange mechanism.
