Indacrinone is a loop diuretic. It can be used in patients of gout with hypertension as an antihypertensive because it decreases reabsorption of uric acid,[1] while other diuretics increase it.

Chirality and biological activity

Indacrinone enantiomeric pair exhibiting therapeutic advantage
Indacrinone - Chiral twins

Indacrinone is a chiral drug, with one chiral center and hence exists as mirror-image twins. (R)-enantiomer, the eutomer, is diuretic whereas the mirror-image version (S)-enantiomer counteracts side effect of the eutomer. Here both the enantiomers contribute to the overall desired effect in different ways.

As indicated earlier, the (R)- enantiomer is the pharmacologically active diuretic. Like most other diuretics, the (R)-isomer possesses an undesirable side-effect of retaining uric acid. But the (S)-enantiomer, the distomer, has the property of assisting uric acid secretion (uricosuric effect), and, therefore, antagonizing the undesirable side-effects of the eutomer (uric-acid retention).[2][3] It affords a good argument for the marketing of a racemic mixture. But studies exemplify that 9:1 mixture of the two enantiomers provides optimal therapeutic value.[4]
