  • Title: Saluretic and uricosuric effects of (6, 7-dichloro-2-methyl=1-oxo-2-phenyl-5-indanyloxy) acetic acid (MK-196) in the chimpanzee.

    Abstract:
    The saluretic and uricosuric responses elicited by a novel agent, MK-196, have been studied in a great ape, the chimpanzee. This agent is orally active at very low doses and has a prolonged duration of action. Probenecid does not appear to influence the saluretic and uricosuric properties of MK-196. Net tubular secretion of urate was reduced by MK-196. Urinary pH changes did not compromise the efficacy of this new agent. On a dose basis, MK-196 was more saluretic (and uricosuric) than ethacrynic acid or furosemide and possessed a longer duration of action. Because of the marked natriuresis caused by MK-196, some increase in potassium excretion occurred.
