![Page 12: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
DIURETICS – cont.
- drugs of first choice for treating patients with mild hypertension often combined with another drug in treatment of more severe hypertension
THIAZIDES
- preferable (to loop diuretics) for the treatment of
uncomplicated hypertension
- given by mouth as a single morning dose (to avoid
nocturnal diuresis)
- begin to act within 1-2 hours and work for 12-24 hours
- treatment should be started using a low dose
![Page 13: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Thiazides
Lumen –urine
Distal convoluted
tubule
Interstitium - blood
![Page 14: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Mechanism of action:
lower blood pressure by reduction of blood volume and by direct vascular effect
- inhibition of sodium chloride transport in the early segment of the distal convoluted tubule natriuresis, decrease in preload and cardiac output - renal effect
- slow decrease of total peripheral resistance (raised initially) during chronic treatment, suggesting an action on resistance vessels - extrarenal effects
![Page 15: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
- metabolic and electrolyte changes
hyponatremia
hypokalemia (combine with potassium-sparing diuretics)
hypomagnesemia
hyperuricemia (most diuretics reduce urate clearance)
hyperglycemia
hypercalcemia (thiazides reduce urinary calcium ion
clearance)
- idiosyncratic reactions (rashes - may be photosensitiv,
purpura)
- lithium toxicity with concurrent administration
Adverse effects
![Page 16: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
LOOP DIURETICS
- useful in hypertensive patients with moderate or severe renal impairment, or in patients with hypertensive heart failure
- relatively short-acting (diuresis occurs over the 4 hours following a dose) used in hypertension if response to thiazides is inadequate
Mechanism of action:
- they inhibit the co-transport of Na+, K+ and 2Cl-
- of Ca2+ and Mg2+ excretion
- they have useful pulmonary vasodilating effects (unknown mechanism)
![Page 17: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

- hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis ( excretion of K+)
- ototoxicity (dose dependent, reversible)
- hypomagnesemia
- hyperuricemia (block of uric acid tubular secretion)
- sulfonamide allergy
- risk of dehydration (> 4 L urine/ 24 h)
Important drug interaction may occurs if loop diuretic is given with Li+ (antimanic drug). Decrease of Na+ reabsorption can lead to increase of Li+ reabsorption toxicity.
Adverse effects
![Page 19: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Potassium-sparing diuretics
act in the distal tubule and the collecting tubule to inhibit Na+ reabsorption, K+ secretion, H+ secretion
they are often used with a thiazide diuretic to spare potassium
Spironolactone
- it is an aldosterone antagonist
- is useful in patients with high level of aldosterone
- it has low diuretic efficacy its advantage is sparing of potassium
- it is often used with loop or thiazide diuretics
![Page 20: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Potassium-sparing diuretics – cont.
Amiloride
- it has similar potassium-spring action to that of spironolactone
- its efect is independent on aldosterone concentration
- it si also frequently used with other diuretics
Adverse effects:may cause hyperkalemia especially in combination with ACE inhibitor, angiotensin-receptor blocker or potassium supplements
![Page 21: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

β-Receptors• Distributed throughout the body
– concentrate differently in certain organs & tissues
• β1 receptors:
– heart, kidney
– stimulation increases HR, contractility, renin release
• β2 receptors:
– lungs, liver, pancreas, arteriolar smooth muscle
– stimulation causes bronchodilation & vasodilation
– mediate insulin secretion & glycogenolysis
• β3 receptors:
– adipose tissue, skeletal muscle
– stimulation causes lipolysis in adipose tissue thermogenesis in skeletal muscle
![Page 23: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
- Negative chronotropic & inotropic cardiac effects
- Inhibit renin release (weak association with antihypertensive effect)
- Membrane-stabilizing action on cardiac cells at high enough doses (?)
Possible mechanisms include: -adrenoceptors located on sympathetic nerve terminals can promote noradrenaline release, and this is prevented by -receptor antagonists
Mechanism of action
![Page 24: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

cardio-selective:
1 blockers atenolol, metoprolol
1 blockers with ISAacebutol
cardio non-selective:
1 + 2 blockers metiprolol, propranolol, nadolol
1 + 2 blockers with ISA pindolol, bopindolol
1+2+ 1 blockers labetalol, carvedilol
-adrenoreceptor antagonists – cont.
![Page 25: 1 prof. Ján Mojžiš Department of Pharmacology, Medical Faculty, P.J. Šafarik University Košice Drugs used to treat hypertension.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddc5503460f94ad353d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Cardioselective β-Blockers
• Greater affinity for β1 than β2 receptors
– inhibit β1 receptors at low to moderate dose
– higher doses block β2 receptors
• Safer in patients with bronchospastic disease, peripheral arterial disease, diabetes– may exacerbate bronchospastic disease when
selectivity lost at high doses – dose where selectivity lost varies from patient to patient
• Generally preferred β-blockers
25

- these drugs lower blood pressure as the ACE
inhibitors and have the advantage of much lower
incidence of adverse effects resulting from
accumulation of bradykinin (cough, angioneurotic
oedema)
- they cause fetal renal toxicity (like that of the ACE
inhibitors)
- these drugs reduce aldosterone levels and cause
potassium accumulation (attainment of toxic levels -
hazardous in patients with renal impairment)

1. dihydropyridines (nifedipine, nicardipine, amlodipine)
2. benzothiazepines (diltiazem)3. phenylalkylamines (verapamil)4. tetralol (mibefradil)
- they block voltage-dependent „L-type“ calcium channels
relaxation of smooth muscle vasodilation reduce
peripheral vascular resistance reduction of BP
- negatively inotropic drugs
they differ in selectivity for calcium channels in vascular
smooth muscles and cardiac tissues

Direct Arterial Vasodilators • Direct arterial smooth muscle relaxation causes
antihypertensive effect (little or no venous vasodilation)– reduce impedence to myocardial contractility
– potent reductions in perfusion pressure activate baroreceptor reflexes
– baroreceptor activation: compensatory increase in sympathetic outflow; tachyphylaxis can cause loss of antihypertensive effect• counteract with concurrent β-blocker • clonidine if β-blocker contraindicated

Thiazides — particularly indicated for hypertension in the elderly; a contra-indication is gout;
-blockers — indications include myocardial infarction, angina; compelling contra-indications include asthma, heart block;
ACE inhibitors — indications include heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction and diabetic nephropathy; contra-indications include renovascular disease and pregnancy; when thiazides and beta-blockers are contra-indicated, not tolerated, or fail to control blood pressure
Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists are alternatives for those who cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors because of persistent dry cough, but they have the same contra-indications as ACE inhibitors;
Calcium-channel blockers. a) Dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers are valuable in isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly when a low-dose thiazide is contra-indicated or not tolerated. b) ‘Rate-limiting’ calcium-channel blockers (e.g. diltiazem, verapamil) may be valuable in angina; contra-indications include heart failure and heart block;
-blockers — a possible indication is prostatism; a contra-indication is urinary incontinence.
