1.INTRODUCTION Hypertension is an elevation of systolic and diastolic BP above 140/90 mm of Hg. Hypertension the heart is working harder than normal putting extra strain on the heart and vessels. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 3
1.INTRODUCTION Systolic blood pressure :- The amount of pressure against the artery walls each time the heart contract Diastolic blood pressure :- The amount of pressure inside the artery when heart is at rest, in between heartbeats. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 4
1.INTRODUCTION Blood pressure is determined by cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral vascular resistance (PVR). Prolonged hypertension damages the blood vessels of the heart, brain and the kidneys and may result in several complications like stroke, coronary artery disease or renal failure. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 5
1.INTRODUCTION Blood pressure is controlled by baroreceptor reflexes acting through autonomic nervous system along with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 6

1 . Diuretics :- (a)Thiazides :- Hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorthalidone , I ndapamide MOA: Diuretics enhance the excretion of sodium and water. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 17
(a)Thiazide diuretics :- Acts on early part of distal tubules. Inhibit Na + -Cl - symporter at the luminal membrane. Increase NaCl excretion. Na + exchanges with K + in the DT. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 18
(a)Thiazide diuretics :- 1. ↓ Plasma volume → ↓ cardiac output → ↓ BP 2. ↓ Body sodium → relaxation of vascular smooth muscles (due to Na+ depletion in the vascular smooth muscle) - ↓ PVR → ↓ BP. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 19
(a)Thiazides diuretics :- Pharmacokinetic action : Extensively protein-bound All are excreted in the urine, mainly by tubular secretion Their action starts within 1 hrs but the duration varies from 8-12hrs Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 20
(b)L oop diuretics :- Furosemide, Bumetanide , Torasemide MOA: The major site of action is the thick AscLH, Inhibits Na+ - K+ -2Cl- cotransport Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 23
(b)L oop diuretics :- Pharmacokinetic action : Absorbed orally ( 1 hrs. ) Bioavailability is 60% Lipid solubility is low Highly bound to plasma proteins Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 24
(b)L oop diuretics :- ADR: Hypokalaemia. Excessive Na+ and water loss are common. Metabolic alkalosis. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 25
(b)L oop diuretics :- Therapeutic uses: These agents are rarely used alone to treat hypertension, but they are commonly used to manage symptoms of heart failure and edema. Hypercalcaemia and renal calcium stones. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 26
(c)Potassium sparing diuretics :- Spironolactone, Amiloride MOA: Amiloride inhibitors of epithelial sodium transport at the late distal and collecting ducts. spironolactone are aldosterone receptor antagonists. All of these agents reduce potassium loss in the urine. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 27
(c)Potassium sparing diuretics :- Pharmacokinetic action : Oral bioavailability of 70% Highly bound to plasma proteins. Completely metabolized in liver. Plasma half - 10 min. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 28
(c)Potassium sparing diuretics :- Therapeutic uses: Potassium-sparing diuretics are sometimes used in combination with loop diuretics and thiazides to reduce the amount of potassium loss induced by these diuretics. Heart failure. Primary Hyperaldosteronism. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 30
2. ACE inhibitors :- Captopril, Lisinopril , Enalapril, Ramipril MOA: Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor. Aldosterone also raises the BP by increasing the plasma volume Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 33
2. ACE inhibitors :- ACE inhibitors prevent the formation of angiotensin II and (indirectly) aldosterone. There is vasodilation and decrease in PVR resulting in a fall in BP. As ACE also degrades bradykinin, ACE inhibitors raise the bradykinin levels which is a potent vasodilator. This also contributes to the fall in BP Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 34
3. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) :- Losartan, Candesartan ,Valsartan MOA: Angiotensin II receptors— AT1 and AT2 . Losartan has high affinity for AT1 receptors when compared to AT2 receptors. By blocking AT1 receptors, losartan blocks the effect of angiotensin II. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 38
3. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) :- It cause relaxes vascular smooth muscles, promotes salt and water excretion and reduces plasma volume. Angiotensin converting enzyme is not inhibited cause increase in bradykinin levels and its associated adverse effects like dry cough and angioedema. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 39
3. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) :- Pharmacokinetic action : High first pass metabolism Highly bound to plasma proteins Absorption is not affected by food t½ -6 hrs. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 40
3. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) :- ADR: Risks of cough and angioedema Hypotension and hyperkalaemia Therapeutic uses: Hypertension Cardiac failure Diuretic Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 41
4. Renin inhibitors Aliskiren , Remikiren MOA: Renin inhibitors bind to active site of renin and prevent the formation of ang1 and age 2. Resulting decrease blood pressure. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 42
4. Renin inhibitors Pharmacokinetic action : It is orally active, t½ is about 24 hrs. It is reduce plasma renin activity by 50-80%, It is metabolised by liver and excreted by the kidneys. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 44
5. β- adrenergic blockers :- MOA: Blockade of cardiac β1 receptors results in decreased myocardial contractility and cardiac output. They reduce the BP due to a fall in the cardiac output. They also lower plasma renin activity and have an additional central antihypertensive action. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 47
6. α - adrenergic blockers :- Pharmacokinetic action : It is orally bioavailability is 60%, Highly bound t plasma proteins, Metabolised in liver and excreted primarily in bile, t½ is 2-3 hrs Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 54
6. α - adrenergic blockers :- Therapeutic uses: Used in hypertension CHF It may be added to a diuretic + blocker in those not achieving target BP. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 56
7. α - β, adrenergic blockers :- Labetalol, Carvedilol MOA: Blocking both α and β receptors. Fall in bp ( both systolic and diastolic ) is due to α1 and β2 blocked as well as β2 agonism (vasodilation ). Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 57
7. α - β, adrenergic blockers :- Alpha-blockers work on norepinephrine or noradrenaline, while beta-blockers work on epinephrine or adrenaline. Alpha-blockers affect only blood pressure levels, while beta-blockers affect both the heart and blood pressure. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 58
8. Calcium channel blockers :- MOA: The intracellular concentration of calcium plays an important role in maintaining the tone of smooth muscle and in the contraction of the myocardium. Calcium enters muscle cells through special voltage sensitive calcium channels. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 60
8. Calcium channel blockers :- This triggers release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, which further increases the cytosolic level of calcium. Calcium channel blocker block L-type calcium channels in the heart and in smooth muscle of the coronary and peripheral arteriolar. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 61
8. Calcium channel blockers :- This causes vascular smooth muscle to relax, dilating mainly arterioles. Calcium channel blockers do not dilate veins Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 62
8. Calcium channel blockers :- Pharmacokinetic action : Most of these agents have short half-lives (3 to 8 hours) Metabolized in liver Excreted in urine Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 63
8. Calcium channel blockers :- ADR: Dizziness, headache, and a feeling of fatigue caused by a decrease in blood pressure Peripheral edema is another commonly reported side effect of this class. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 64
9. Potassium channel openers :- Minoxidil, Diazoxide, MOA: Opening these channels hyperpolarizes the smooth muscle, which closes voltage-gated calcium channels and decreases intracellular calcium. This leads to relaxation and vasodilation. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 66
10. Vasodilators :- MOA: Hydralazine molecules combine with receptors in the endothelium of arterioles – NO release – relaxation of vascular smooth muscle – fall in BP Tushar Undhad _Antihypertensive Drugs 71
10. Vasodilators :- ADR: Hypotension, salt & water retention It may precipitate angina in some patients because increased o2 demand due to reflex tachycardia and decreased myocardial blood supply due to peripheral vasodilatation Headache (caused by cerebral vasodilation) Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 72
11. Centrally acting sympatholytics :- This reduces sympathetic outflow to heart thereby decreasing cardiac output by decreasing heart rate and contractility ,which causes vasodilation and reduced systemic vascular resistance, which decreases arterial pressure. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 75
11. Centrally acting sympatholytics :- ADR: Bradycardia (not good for emergency), Dryness of mouth, Vertigo Bradycardia (not good for emergency), Dryness of mouth, Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 76
11. Centrally acting sympatholytics :- Therapeutic uses: Preferred for pts. with chronic renal disease & hypertensive emergencies Now used only in HTN associated with pregnancy since it is safe. Tushar Undhad Antihypertensive Drugs 77
