Methoxyverapamil, $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker, when given intravenously by means of bolus, produced the transient increase of urine flow, and then methoxyverapamil was infused in this experiments. Methoxyverapamil, when infused into vein, elicited the increase of urine flow ancampanied with the increased glomeralar filtration rate(GFR), renal plasma flow(RPF), excretion amounts of sodium and potassium in urine($E_{Na},\;E_k$) and osmolar clearance(Cosm), wherease produced the no change of free water clearance($C_{H2O}$) and the reduction of reabsorption rates of sodium and potassium in reral tubules($R_{Na},\;R_k$). Methoxyverapamil, when infused into a renal artery, exhibited the diuretic action in only infused Kidney, at this time changes of renal function were the same aspect to that of intravenously infused methoxyverapamil. Methoxyverapamil, when infused into a carotid artery, exhibited the decreased urine flow along with the reduction of Cosm, $C_{H2O}\;and\;E_{Na}$. Above results suggest that methoxyverapamil possess both the diuretic action by direct action in kidney and antidiuretic action through the central function.

In dogs, renal denervation did not affect the diuretic action accompanied with renal hemodynamic chanties and inhibition of electrolytes reabsorption rates in renal tubules by methoxyverapamil infused into the vein or into a renal artery, while renal denervation blocked the antidiuretic action due to the decreased free water and osmolar clearances along with the reduced sodium amounts excreted in urine by methoxyverpamil infused into the carotid artery. These experimental results suggest that methoxyverapamil may cause diuresis by direct action in kidney but the antidiuretic action through central function mediated by renal nerves.
