Adenosine receptor antagonists, especially aminophyllline, are used to treat or prevent acute renal failure. In the preferred embodiment, aminophylline is administered by infusion so that it does not exceed a serum theophylline level of 15-20 micrograms/ml, most preferably the aminophylline is administered to achieve a serum theophylline concentration of 3-10 micrograms/ml, with an infusion rate of 0.1-0.6 mg/kg IBW/hour (IBW=ideal body weight). The adenosine receptor antagonist can also be used to help sustain a kidney for transplant purposes. Preferably, aminophylline is loaded while the kidney is still part of the donor. A dose of aminophylline of 5 mg/kg lean body weight is infused into the donor over a 30-60 min period, with cardiac monitoring. The infusion dose is decreased in the event of supraventricular or ventricular tachycardias. The kidney is removed and placed in the standard “cold” bath, but containing aminophylline at a dose of 5-10 micrograms/ml (5-10 mg/l). The kidney is then transported to the recipient. The recipient is similarly preloaded with 5 mg/kg lean body mass aminophylline intravenously over 30-60 min with cardiac monitoring, with a constant infusion of 0.1-0.3 mg/kg lean body mass/hr continuing during the next 24 hours after the kidney is transplanted into the recipient.

The invention discloses an application of a urea transporter (UT) inhibitor Youti, of which the structural formula is represented as the formula I. In the invention, by means of erythrocyte model screening, the compound inhibiting the UT is obtained. An experimental result proves that the compounds, such as the Youti, can inhibit the permeability, induced by the UT-B, of urea through erythrocytes membrane, wherein the effect of the Youti has a dosage dependent relationship. In an effective dosage range, the Youti is free of cyto-toxicity on MDCK cells, which proves that the effect of inhibition the permeability of the urea through cells by the Youti is independent of the cyto-toxicity. The Youti is gradually enhanced in the inhibition effect on the UT-B and the inhibition effect of the Youti on the UT-B is reversible. An in-vivo test result proves that the Youti can significantly increase the urine output of mice, can reduce the concentration of urea in the urine of mice and can reduce the osmotic pressure, so that it is proves that the Youti has a urea-selective diuretic effect in-vivo.
