CAS 17560-51-9: Metolazone
Description:Metolazone, with the CAS number 17560-51-9, is a thiazide-like diuretic medication primarily used to treat hypertension and edema associated with heart failure or renal disorders. It functions by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, leading to increased urine output. Metolazone is characterized by its chemical formula C16H18ClN3O3S and a molecular weight of approximately 365.85 g/mol. The compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, which is slightly soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of the Na+/Cl- co-transporter, which results in enhanced excretion of sodium and chloride ions, thereby reducing fluid retention. Metolazone is often used in combination with other diuretics for synergistic effects, particularly in patients with resistant hypertension. As with any medication, it is important to monitor for potential side effects, including electrolyte imbalances and dehydration.
