1- centrally acting sympatholytics 4- ACE inhibitors :is Zn containing glycoprotein *SAR *common side effects 1-hypotension 2-hyperkalemia 3-dry cough (due to inhibition og bradykinin & PG syn) *formulations 1-ACE + diuretic [captopril .hydrochlorothiazide] 2-ACE ,Ca channel blocker (enalapril & diltiazem)
methyldopate HCl (aldomet) mechanisms of action 1-inhibitor of dopa decarboxylase enz involved in the biosyn of NE & E 2-metab to a-methyl NE w displace NE in nerve terminals and act as false transmitter 3-most acceptable ;a-methyl  NE considered as centrally acting a2 agonist *methyl dopa suitable for oral use ,is zwitter ion and is not sol enough for parentral use this problem was solved by masking the ester leaving the amine free to form water sol HCL salt Thiol  ** Captopril *metab :cysteine disulphide (inactive metabolite) *contain thiol gp w bind to Zn *SH not only excellent inhibiting action of enz but also cause SE eg skin rashes ,metalic taste so use of other drugs not contain SH gp
2- agents depletes neurotransmitter store eg RESERPINE : deplete catecholamine at adrenergic neurons by inhibiting active transport Mg -ATPase respons for sequestring NE ,DA e in the storage vesicles *depleted catecholamine are metab by MAO > ! Amine content A) dicarboxylate inhibitor 1-Enalapril *it is prodrug must be activate dby esterase enz >enalaprilate >very poor abs .despite of excellent IV activity it has very poor oral bioav >estrification  of enalaprilate >enalapril has superior oral bioav *combination of 2cooH ,NH (zwitter ion ) >so low lipophilicity a poor oral bioav *enalapril maleate >long acting ACE inhibitor *devoid of S.E of captopril (no sH gp)
3- direct acting vasodilators ; K channel agonist (opener) 1-arterial as hydralazine ,minoxidil ,diazoxide 2-arterial & venous >sod nitroprusside activate ATP sensitive K channels w lead to ! Intracellular Ca & ! Excitability of s.m the 1ry action of these cpds is due to open K channels in plasma memb of vascular s.m
Diazoxide sod 7-chloro-3-methyl-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1dioxide *it is structurally related to chlorothiazde (des sulphamoyl drv) *used as IV injection as rapidly acting antihypertensive for emergency ! B.P in hospitialized patients 2-Lisinopril (Zestril) active drug *metab >exc unchanged]
Hydralazine HCL 1-hydralazinophthalazine mono hydrochloride *action :1-relax s.m of vascular wall e + in P.R to bl flow 2-+ renal bl flow w is important in patient e renal insuffiency *metab >N-acetylation or hydroxylation (both inactive) *syn > 3-Benazepril (lotensin) *inactive *benzazepine str *ester ><prodrug >esterase *metab >glucorunate conjugation
minoxidil 2,4-diamino-6-piperidinopyrimidine-3- oxide *effect similar to hydralazine *it self inactive >activated by sulfotransferase to minoxidil sulfate (active) *used as topical soln in severe hypertension that difficult to control by other agents *S.E 1-water & Na retension so req coadm e diuretics 2-cause reflex tacchycardia so used e B blocker B)phosphorate containing inhibitors *Fosinopril * prodrug >esterase
5- Angiotensin II antagonist ****Losartan 2-butyl -4-chloro[p-(o-1H-tetrazol -5-ylphenyl) benzyl] imidazole -5-methanol *used as K salt *metab >oxidation of CH2OH >COOH (active metabolite)
sodium nitroprusside(Nipride) *one of the most potent bl pr lowering drug >its use is limited in emergency due to short duration *active moity (NO) *mech as organic nitrates & nitrites *use :in emergency as infusion in hypertensive crisis *S.E >cn ,scn may accum in blood >toxic effect >so monitoring of cn in bl
others
6-diuretics 7- Ca channel blocker 8 -sympatholytics (eg B-blocker ,,a1 -blocker)
