Furosemide-d5 is the deuterium labeled Furosemide. Furosemide is a potent and orally active inhibitor of Na+/K+/2Cl- (NKCC) cotransporter, specifically NKCC1 and NKCC2. It also acts as a GABAA receptors antagonist, showing 100-fold selectivity for α6-containing receptors over α1-containing receptors. Furosemide is a loop diuretic used in the study of congestive heart failure, hypertension, and edema. Deuterium substitution in drug molecules is explored for its potential impact on pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles.
