Provided herein are small molecule inhibitors of pendrin. More specifically, the small molecules disclosed herein may be used to inhibit pendrin-mediated anion exchange. These small molecules may be used for treatment of diseases and disorders that are treatable by inhibiting pendrin, such as cystic fibrosis, rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, exposure to an industrial toxin, certain viral infections, certain bacterial infections, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The small molecules may further be used to potentiate a diuretic effect of a diuretic compound. The small molecules may additionally be used to treat hypertension or thyroid conditions. |
