Mercaptomerin, also known as Thiomerin, is an organic compound used as a potent diuretic. It acts by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Mercaptomerin is administered intravenously and is rapidly metabolized in the liver. It is typically used to treat edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and nephrotic syndrome. Research on mercaptomerin is ongoing to better understand its mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, and potential therapeutic applications.'
