ACE Inhibitors Sympatholytics Vasodilators • Centrally acting alpha2-agonists CLONIDINE,METHYLDOPA • decreases the sympathetic response from brainstem to peripheral vessels • Stimulate alpha2 receptors: increase vagus activity, decrease cardiac output and decreases serum epinephrine, norepinephrine & renin release • results into reduced peripheral vascular resistance • Side effects: • - drowsiness, dry mouth and nasal mucosa, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension impotence , sodium and fluid retention.

ACE Inhibitors Vasodilators Vasodilators • Pharmacokinetics: • - onset, peak, and duration vary widely among products. Most products are metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine • Interactions: • - varies widely among products • Example of PHARMACOKINETICS OF ` HYDRALAZINE • Oral vasodilator but can be given I/V • Rapidly metabolized by the liver during first pass bioavailability is • low averaging 25% • variable among individuals. • Well absorbed.

ACE Inhibitors Ca Channel Blockers Vasodilators • 3 CHEMICAL CLASSES: • Phenylalkylamines – Verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan) • Benzothiazepines – Diltiazem (C ardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac) • Dihydropyridines – Amlodipine (Norvasc), Felodipine (Plendil), Nicardipine (Cardene), Nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia) • Mechanism of action: • Prevents calcium from entering the excitation-contraction process therefore, prevents muscle contraction and, instead, promotes relaxation of the smooth muscles that surrounds the coronary arteries and causes them to dilate.

ACE Inhibitors Sympatholytics Vasodilators • 5 groups of drugs: • Beta-adrenergic blockers • Centrally acting alpha2-agonists • Alpha-adrenergic blockers • Adrenergic neuron blockers (Peripherally acting sympatholytics) • Alpha1 and Beta1 adrenergic blockers • Sympatholytics:[anti-adrenergic] • - reduces the physiological effects caused by stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system Diuretics Ca Channel Blockers Sympatholytics Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
ACE Inhibitors Sympatholytics Vasodilators • Beta-adrenergic blockers • (Beta-blockers) • Step 1- antihypertensive drugs • Step 2 - in combination with diuretics • - also used as antianginals and antidysrhythmics • - reduces cardiac output by blocking the SympathNS response thus decreasing basal sympathetic tone • - continued use: reduces vascular resistance and lowers BP • - reduces HR, contractility and renin release • - can cross the placental barrier and enter breast milk Diuretics Ca Channel Blockers Sympatholytics Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
ACE Inhibitors Sympatholytics Vasodilators • Beta-adrenergic blockers • (Beta-blockers) • Types: • Nonselective • inhibits beta1 (heart) and beta2 (bronchial) receptors • decrease BP secondary to decrease and bronchoconstriction occurs • Cardioselective • act mainly on beta1; bronchoconstriction less likely to occur • Oral Beta-blockers • Onset of action: 30 mins. or less • Duration: 6 to 12 hours Diuretics Ca Channel Blockers Sympatholytics Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
