Phamacodynamic and pharmacokinetics properties of next generation diuretics.The
amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) constitutes the rate-limiting step for
sodium reabsorption in epithelial cells that line the distal part of the renal tubule, the distal
colon, the duct of several exocrine glands, and the lung. The activity of this channel is …
