Torsemide has been used as an inhibitor of Na+ Cl- co-transporter in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Torsemide functions in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and enhances the excretion of sodium, chloride and water from the luminal side of the cells. Furthermore, torsemide can treat oedematous conditions that are associated with diseases such as liver cirrhosis, kidney disorders and chronic congestive heart failure2.
Torsemide is a loop diuretic and inhibitor of the Na+/K+/2Cl- carrier system.
Torsemide is a loop diuretic of the pyridine-sulfonylurea class with antialdosteronergic properties and inhibitor of the Na+/K+/2Cl- carrier system.

Preparation Note
Torsemide is soluble in DMSO at 18 mg/ml and is insoluble in water.
Torasemide (torsemide) is a high-ceiling loop diuretic which acts on the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle to promote rapid and marked excretion of water, sodium and chloride. Like furosemide (frusemide), its major site of action is from
The involvement of chloride in salt stress symptoms and salt tolerance mechanisms in plants has been less investigated in the past. Therefore, we studied the salt-induced chloride influx in Arabidopsis expressing the GFP-based anion indicator Clomeleon. High salt concentrations induce

Complete evaluation of chromatographic behavior and establishment of optimal experimental conditions for determination of torasemide and its four impurities are determined by experimental design. Fractional factorial and 3(n) full factorial design were employed for efficient and rapid optimization of liquid

Diuretics are a mainstay of therapy in dogs with heart failure. In dogs with advanced heart failure, moderate to high doses of loop diuretics such as furosemide are used with diminishing effects as profound activation of neuroendocrine systems promote signs
