In the last four decades, the several classes of diuretics, currently available for clinical use, have been the first line option for the therapy of widespread cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases. Diuretic drugs generally exhibit an overall favourable risk/benefit balance. However, they are not devoid of side effects. In particular, all the classes of diuretics cause alteration of potassium homeostasis. <p> In recent years, understanding of the physiological role of the renal outer medullary potassium (ROMK) channels, has shown an intriguing pharmacological target for developing an innovative class of diuretic agents: the ROMK inhibitors. This novel class is expected to promote diuretic activity comparable to (or even higher than) that provided by the most effective drugs used in clinics (such as furosemide), with limited effects on potassium homeostasis. <p> In this review, the physio-pharmacological roles of ROMK channels in the renal function are reported, along with the most representative molecules which have been currently developed as ROMK inhibitors.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of four components, namely rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH), pyrazinamide (PYR), and ethambutol hydrochloride (ETM), contained in anti-tuberculosis drugs in fixed dose combination tablet (4-FDC). In order to increase the sensitivity of EMB, the pre-column derivatization technique with phenethyl isocyanate (PEIC) was carried out. The separation was accomplished using Waters Symmetry C8 (250× 4.6 mm i.d.; 5 μm) at 30oC. The mobile phase used was a mixture of acetonitrile and 20 mM phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) containing triethylamine and delivered at 1.5 mL/minute using gradient elution. TheUV detector was set at 210 nm. The method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection limit, quantification limit, and robustness according to International Conference on Harmanization (ICH). The optimized method is succcesfully used for quantitative analysis of RIF, INH, PYR and ETM in 4-FDC tablets. The level of these drugs in 4-FDC tablets were in accordance to that specified in Indonesian pharmacopeia.
