The effect of a number of diuretic agents was investigated on rats with different degrees of expansion of extracellular fluid volume. With moderate saline loading aminoisometradine and chlorthiazide were the most efficient diuretics. However, with a more severe saline load aminoisometradine and mersalyl had the greatest effect while chlorthiazide had no significant diuretic activity. The action of acetazolamide seemed independent of the saline load. Potassium chloride showed no diuretic activity. Injecting the drugs in pairs resulted in probable potentiation only with acetazolamide plus chlorthiazide. Since all the diuretics were used in doses which gave maximal effects, the summation of the effects of the other pairs of diuretics suggested different sites of action.
