Drug | Drug Action | Interactions with Urate Transporters (Secretion Pathway) | Interactions with Urate Transporters (Reabsorption Pathway) | Effects on Serum Urate |
---|---|---|---|---|
Loop Diuretics | ||||
Furosemide | NKCC2 Inhibitor (loop diuretic) | Inhibitor of ABCG2[86] and NPT4[58]; substrate of OAT3[85] | --- | Direct inhibition of urate secretion with competitive inhibition of urate transport, leads to increased SU due to decreased secretion; |
Bumetanide | NKCC2 Inhibitor (loop diuretic) | NPT4 inhibitor[58]; substrate of OAT1[85], OAT2[67], OAT3[85], | Substrate of OAT4[67] | Competitive inhibition of urate transport, leads to increased SU due to decreased secretion |
Ethacrynic acid | NKCC2 Inhibitor (loop diuretic) | NPT4 inhibitor[58]; substrate of oAt3[85] | --- | |
Torasemide | NKCC2 Inhibitor (loop diuretic) | Substrate of OAT1 and OAT3[147] | Substrate of OAT4[147] | Competitive inhibition of urate transport at the basolateral membrane, and increased urate uptake at the tubule lumen lead to increased SU |
Thiazide Diuretics | ||||
Bendroflumethiazide | NCC inhibitor (diuretic) | Substrate of OAT1 and OAT3[148] | --- | Competitive inhibition of urate transport, leads to increased SU due to decreased secretion Increased SU due to increased reabsorption |
Chlorothiazide Cyclothiazide Trichlormethiazide | NCC Inhibitor (diuretic) | Substrate of OAT1[85] | --- | |
Hydrochlorothiazide | NCC Inhibitor (diuretic) | Substrate of OAT1[85] | Substrate of OAT4[48] | |
SGLT2 Inhibitors | ||||
Canagliflozin | SLGT2 inhibitor (glucosuric) | Substrate of ABCG2, but not OAT1 or OAT3 [149] | URAT1 not inhibited but is required for uricosuric effect[74] | Uricosuric effects may be related to increased tubular glucose concentration[74, 87] or increased urate secretion, however the mechanisms are currently unknown |
Dapagliflozin | SLGT2 inhibitor (glucosuric) | May improve OAT3 function[85] | Increased reduction in SU without influencing urate excretion in combination with febuxostat and verinurad [150] | |
Empagliflozin | SLGT2 inhibitor (glucosuric) | Substrate of ABCG2[81]; may upregulate ABCG2 expression [151]; some interactions with OAT3 and minimally with OAT1[152] | --- | |
Ertugliflozin | SLGT2 inhibitor (glucosuric) | Substrate of ABCG2 [81] | --- | |
Other Drugs | ||||
Aspirin | NSAID | Inhibition of OAT1 and OAT3 [153] | Substrate of URAT1[153] | Low does can increase SU due to increased reabsorption and decreased secretion High doses can cause inhibition of URAT1, with SU due to decreased reabsorption |
SU: serum urate; NCC: Sodium Chloride Co-transporter; NKCC2: Sodium-Potassium-Chloride Co-transporter; PPARĪ±: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha; SGLT2: sodium glucose cotransporter 2; NSAID: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; ---: No known interactions
