Background: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) affect kidney electrolyte handling and blood pressure (BP) through an effect on the distal tubule. The second-generation CNI voclosporin causes hypomagnesaemia and hypercalciuria less often than tacrolimus. This suggests different effects on the distal tubule, but this has not yet been investigated experimentally.

Purpose: To evaluate the diuretic effects of aqueous (AQ) and hydromethanolic crude extract (HM) the as well as the solvent fractions of the HM extract from Erica arborea flowers in mice.
Methods: Mice were administered AQ and HM crude extracts, along with solvent fractions of HM extracts of flowers, including HXF (n-hexane fraction), EAF (ethyl acetate fraction), and AQF (aqueous fraction), at doses ranging from 100 to 400 mg/kg orally. The effects of these extracts and solvent fractions on urine and salt excretion over 5 hours were compared to the effects of the solvent used for reconstitution and a standard drug (furosemide 10 mg/kg), as well as to each other.
