Acetazolamide, sold under the trade name Diamox among others, is a medication used to treat glaucoma, epilepsy, acute mountain sickness, periodic paralysis, ...
Acetazolamide is an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase.It is used for glaucoma, epilepsy (rarely), idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and altitude sickness. For the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP), acetazolamide inactivates carbonic anhydrase and interferes with the sodium pump, which decreases aqueous humor formation and thus lowers IOP.
Dronabinol/acetazolamide (investigational name IHL-42X) is a combination therapy under investigation for sleep apnea. It is developed by Incannex Healthcare. It is developed by Incannex Healthcare. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
An undesirable side-effect of acetazolamide is a reduction in aerobic endurance performance. Other minor side effects include a tingle-sensation in hands and feet. Although a sulfonamide, acetazolamide is a non-antibiotic and has not been shown to cause life-threatening allergic cross-reactivity in those with a self-reported sulfonamide allergy.
Medication with acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, has been shown to improve chronic mountain sickness by reducing erythropoietin and the resulting polycythaemia, which results in better arterial oxygenation and a lower heart rate. [7]
Acetazolamide also helps prevent the condition. Untreated patients usually die within 48 hours. Those who receive treatment may take weeks to fully recover. It is a rare condition, occurring in less than one percent of people who ascend to 4,000 metres (13,000 ft).
Acetohexamide binds to an ATP-sensitive K + (K ATP) channel on the cell membrane of pancreatic beta cells.This inhibits the outflux of potassium, which causes the membrane potential to become more positive.
Of them, 1,3,4-thiadiazole is the most common, appearing in such medications as cephazolin and acetazolamide. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In the Hurd-Mori reaction , an acyl hydrazone reacts with thionyl chloride or selenium dioxide to give a 1‑thia- or 1‑selena-2,3‑diazole.
