anti-hypertensive

Alprenolol hydrochloride is a non-selective blocker of beta, and also is a antagonist of5-HT1A receptor.

Guanadrel is an antihypertensive agent.

Anti-hypertensive sulfonanilide 1 is an antihypertensive compound.

Forskolin (Coleonol) is a natural product, an adenylate cyclase activator (EC50=0.5 μM). Forskolin increases cAMP levels, activates PXR and FXR, and induces autophagy. Forskolin produces positive inotropic effects in the heart, and has platelet anticoagulant and antihypertensive effects.

Celiprolol hydrochloride (Selectrol) is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic antagonist that has intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. It is used in the management of ANGINA PECTORIS and HYPERTENSION.

Trichlormethiazide (Naqua) is a short-acting, 3-dichloromethyl derivative of hydrochlorothiazide, belonging to the class of thiazide diuretics. Trichlormethiazide appears to block the active reabsorption of chloride and possibly sodium in the ascending loop of Henle, altering electrolyte transfer in the proximal tubule.

Nitrendipine (BAY-E-5009) is a calcium channel blocker with marked vasodilator action. It is an effective antihypertensive agent and differs from other calcium channel blockers in that it does not reduce glomerular filtration rate and is mildly natriuretic, rather than sodium retentive.

Pargyline (Pargylamine) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor with antihypertensive properties.

Cilnidipine (FRC-8653)(FRC8653) is a dual L- and N-type calcium channel blocker and displays antihypertensive, sympatholytic and neuroprotective activity.

Acetazolamide (Diamox) is a Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of acetazolamide is as a Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor. The chemical classification of acetazolamide is Sulfonamides.

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a Thiazide Diuretic. The physiologic effect of hydrochlorothiazide is by means of Increased Diuresis.

Captopril (SA333) is a potent and specific inhibitor of peptidyl-dipeptidase A. It blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure.

Pargyline hydrochloride (Pargylamine hydrochloride) is an irreversible monoamine oxidase(MAO) inhibitor with antihypertensive properties.

Hydralazine hydrochloride (Apresoline) is the hydrochloride salt of hydralazine, a phthalazine derivative with antihypertensive and potential antineoplastic activities. Hydralazine alters intracellular calcium release and interferes with smooth muscle cell calcium influx, resulting in arterial vasodilatation. This agent also inhibits the phosphorylation of myosin protein and chelation of trace metals required for smooth muscle contraction, resulting in an increase in heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output. In addition to its cardiovascular effects, hydralazine inhibits DNA methyltransferase, which may result in inhibition of DNA methylation in tumor cells.

Sacubitril (AHU-377) is a potent NEP inhibitor with an IC50 of 5 nM and is a component of the heart failure medicine LCZ696.

Carvedilol (SKF 105517) Phosphate is the phosphate salt form of carvedilol, a racemic mixture and adrenergic blocking agent with antihypertensive activity and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. The S enantiomer of carvedilol nonselectively binds to and blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, thereby exerting negative inotropic and chronotropic effects, and leading to a reduction in cardiac output. In addition, both enantiomers of carvedilol bind to and block alpha 1-adrenergic receptors, thereby causing vasodilation and reducing peripheral vascular resistance.

Bendroflumethiazide (Naturetin) is a thiazide diuretic with actions and uses similar to those of HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE. It has been used in the treatment of familial hyperkalemia, hypertension, edema, and urinary tract disorders. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p810)

Guanabenz hydrochloride (NE56490) is an orally active α2-adrenoceptor agonist with hypotensive effects.

Clopamide (Brinaldix) is a piperidine and sulfamoylbenzamide-based diuretic with thiazide-like diuretic activity.

Imidapril hydrochloride (Tanapril) is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with IC50 of 2.6 nM, used for the treatment of hypertension.

Moexipril hydrochloride (Moexipril HCl) is a potent orally active nonsulfhydrylangiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)inhibitor, used for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Rilmenidine Phosphate is a selective I(1) imidazoline receptor agonist, used to treat hypertension.

Deserpidine (Harmonyl) is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an ester alkaloid drug isolated from Rauwolfia canescens (family Apocynaceae) with antipsychotic and antihypertensive properties that has been used for the control of high blood pressure and for the relief of psychotic behavior.Deserpidine's mechanism of action is through inhibition of the ATP Mg2+ pump responsible for the sequestering of neurotransmitters into storage vesicles located in the presynaptic neuron. Deserpidine is a competitive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Deserpidine also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex.

Hesperetin 7-O-glucoside and prunin are direct precursors of naringin and neohesperidin, respectively, in C. aurantium. Hesperetin 7-O-glucoside shows inhibition of human HMG-CoA reductase, it also exhibits effective inhibition of the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Hesperetin 7-O-glucoside can reduce blood pressure in healthy volunteers.
