| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Probenecid is a uricosuric agent, which increases uric acid removal in the urine and reduces urate reuptake. It also reduces the renal tubular excretion of many other drugs and increases their plasma concentration. The inhibitory action of probenecid is mediated by organic anion transporters. It is found useful for the treatment of gout. Probenecid is responsible for the rise in the levels of neurochemicals in the brain by preventing its movement from choroid plexus and parenchyma cells into plasma. |
