Abstract: Diuretic agents increase urine volume and are effective in heart failure , renal failure and maintain Na+ ion balance. They are also effective in hypertension and nephrosis. Though plants possess diuretic activity , but their delayed action needs to use quickly acting agents . In this paper study on 3-(6-Arylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-2-methylchromones as diuretic agents is being discussed . Lead for diuretic activity has been found in this system .
Keywords: Diuretic activity, Chromones, Lead, Structure activity relationship (SAR)
