Influence of substituted quinones on the excretory function of the rat kidney and evaluation of the prospects of their use as potential diuretics by K.V. Sokolova, O.A. Podpletnya, S.О. Konovalova, A.P. Avdeenko, S.I. Kovalenko

“…Compounds AVD-6, AVD-7, AVD-8 and AVD-9, in contrast to Hydrochlorothiazide, which blocks carbonic anhydrase in the proximal part of the convoluted tubules and accelerates the excretion of potassium with from the urine, have a much lower excretory index as for these ions. Thus, our conducted research made it possible to identify a new, little-known class of hybrid molecular structures, namely (N'-(4-[(aroyloxy)imino]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene) aroylhydrazides (AVD-6, AVD-7, AVD-8 and AVD-9), which, in addition to affecting the excretory function of the kidneys, have significant diuretic activity and are  potential diuretics.…”
