Pharmacology
Hydrochlorothiazide is a Thiazide Diuretic. The physiologic effect of hydrochlorothiazide is by means of Increased Diuresis.
How it is made
Hydrochlorothiazide is synthesized by either the reaction of para-formaldehyde with 5-chloro-2,4-disulfamoylaniline in nonaqueous media, or the reaction of formaldehyde with 6-chloro-7-sulfamoyl-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide in aqueous alkaline solution.
Chlorothiazide can be reduced electrolytically or with sodium borohydride or catalytically. ... 3-Chloro-4,6-disulfamoylaniline can be cyclized with formaldehyde to give hydrochlorothiazide.
