Diuretics
Diuretics are drugs mainly acting on the kidneys to increase the excretion of water and electrolytes, and increase urine output. Their potency can be divided into:
1. potent diuretics (loop diuretics): including furosemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid.
2. Middle efficiency diuretics include: thiazide diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide, bendroflumethiazide and so on.
3. Inefficient diuretics include: retention of potassium diuretics spironolactone, triamterene and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide and the like.
Potent diuretics effect on medullary loop ramus crude segment medulla,they inhibit reabsorption of active chlorine, followed by inhibiting sodium reabsorption, and play a strong diuretic effect.
Torasemide is a potent diuretic, its mechanism of action is similar to furosemide, it has no effect on the proximal tubules, it does not cause an increase in the discharge of potassium. This product increase renal volume and sodium excretion is dose-dependent , it does not affect the calcium and potassium excretion, excretion and metabolism have no association with renal function, large doses have no significant toxicity. Sort diuretic strength by: bumetanide> torasemide> piretanide> furosemide. It is useful in the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure and essential hypertension. Adverse reactions of torasemide are similar to furosemide ,common adverse reactions are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, muscle spasms, but it produces lesser extent of potassium loss ,it has no effect on uric acid, blood glucose and lipid .

Description
Different sources of media describe the Description of 56211-40-6 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Torasemide (Item No. 21312) is an analytical reference standard categorized as a diuretic. Diuretics, including torasemide, have been abused as performance-enhancing drugs and masking agents in doping in sports. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
2. Torasemide is a novel loop diuretic launched in 1993 after a 12-year gap from the last
diuretic introduction. It is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and edema associated
with chronic congestive heart failure, renal disease and hepatic cirrhosis. Torasemide exerts
its major diuretic activity on the thick ascending limb of the Henle's loop to promote rapid and
marked excretion of water, Na+, Cl-, and to a lesser extent,K+ and Ca2+. Compared with other
loop diuretics such as furosemide, torasemide has a stronger antihypertensive action, a
higher bioavailability, a longer duration of action that is independent of the renal function, and
has no side effects such as paradoxical antidiuresis. The mechanism of its vasodilating effect
has been suggested to result from, at least in part, the competitive antagonism of the
thromboxane A2 receptor.

Definition
ChEBI: An N-sulfonylurea obtained by formal condensation of [(3-methylphenyl)amino]pyridine-3-sulfonic acid with the free amino group of N-isopropylurea.
Manufacturing Process
In a 100 ml three-necked flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, condenser,
thermometer and dropping funnel 3-sulfonylchloride-4-chloropyridine (10 g, 1
eq., 46.7 mmoles) was suspended in t-butyl-methyl ether (MTBE) (30 ml) at
room temperature. Ammonium hydroxide, 25% solution (13.5 ml, 2.13 eq.)
was dropped into the suspension in a rate such that the temperature is
allowed to increase to 22°-26°C, this temperature was maintained until all the
ammonium hydroxide was added. The suspension was then to cooled to room
temperature and was stirred for 1 h. The pH of the suspension was adjusted
to 80.1 by the addition of a few drops of ammonium hydroxide, 25% solution.
The suspension was filtered and washed with water (2 times 10 ml) and the
wet product (8 g) dried at 40°C, under the 1 mm Hg vacuum. 3-Sulfonamide-
4-chloropyridine was isolated in 74.4% yield, 6.7 g.
A mixture of 0.01 moles of 3-sulfonamido-4-chloropyridine, 0.02 mole of 3-
methylbenzylamine and 50 ml of dry ethanol was heated to reflux
temperature for 9 h. After distillation of the ethanol the residue was taken up
in an excess of diluted NaOH and the excess of amine was extracted by
means of ether.
The aqueous solution was then decolourized with charcoal and filtered, and
the filtrate was neutralized with acetic acid. The precipitated product was
separated and purified by crystallization from a mixture of water and acetone.The 3-sulfonamido-4-(3-methylbenzyl)amino-pyridine crystallized in the form
of beige coloured cristals having a melting point of 184°-186°C.
0.01 mole of 3-sulfonamido-4-(3-methylbenzyl)amino-pyridine was reacted
with 0.015 mole of isopropylisocyanate in the presence of 0.02 mole of
triethylamine and of 20 ml of dichloromethane, at room temperature for 20 h.
After evaporation under vacuum, the residue was taken up in an excess of
diluted Na2CO3, filtered off and acidified by means of acetic acid. After
precipitation of the product it was filtered and washed several times with ice
cold water. The 3-isopropylcarbamoylsulfonamido-4-(3-methylbenzyl)amino_x0002_pyridine (Torsemide) showing as a white powder, has a melting point of 147°-
149°C.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 56211-40-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,6,2,1 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 56211-40:
(7*5)+(6*6)+(5*2)+(4*1)+(3*1)+(2*4)+(1*0)=96
96 % 10 = 6
So 56211-40-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
