The invention describes novel diuretic compounds comprising at least one heterocyclic nitric oxide donor group, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and novel composition comprising at least one diuretic compound comprising at least one heterocyclic nitric oxide donor group, and optionally, at least one nitric oxide enhancing compound and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides novel compositions and kits comprising at least one diuretic compound of the invention comprising at least one heterocyclic nitric oxide donor group, and optionally, at least one nitric oxide enhancing compound and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides methods for (a) treating conditions resulting from excessive water and/or electrolyte retention; (b) treating cardiovascular diseases; (c) treating renovascular diseases; (d) treating diabetes; (e) treating diseases resulting from oxidatives stress; (f) treating endothelial dysfunctions; (g) treating diseases caused by endothelial dysfunctions; (h) treating cirrhosis; (j) treating pre-eclampsia; (k) treating osteoporosis; (l) treating nephropathy; (m) treating peripheral vascular diseases; (n) treating portal hypertension; (o) treating central nervous system disorders; and (p) treating sexual dysfunctions. The heterocyclic nitric oxide donors are preferably furoxans, sydnonimines, oxatriazole-5-ones and/or oxatriazole-5-imines.
