introduction of Hypertension, Pharmacological classification of antihypertensives, Chemical classification, Drug synthesis profile (including every class), Mechanism of Action(including every class), Uses, Adverse Effects, Structure Activity Relationship(including every class)
This slide talks about the different pharmacological properties of Antihypertensive Drugs. The classification and examples of these drugs are also given in detail.
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated i.e. 140/90 mmHg systolic /diastolic pressure.
High blood pressure has damaging effect on the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes.
Drugs used to lower blood pressure is known as antihypertensive drugs.
Antihypertensive drug therapy has improved remarkably in the last 50 years.
Before 1950, less effective and less tolerated antihypertensive drugs were available.
Veratrum and sodium thiocyanate could lower BP, but were toxic and difficult to use.
The ganglion blockers that were developed in the 1950s were effective, but inconvenient.
Reserpine was a breakthrough, but produced mental depression.
The therapeutic potential of hydralazine was not tapped fully because of the marked side effects when it was used alone
First choice drug in all grade of essential as well as renovascular hypertension (except renal artery stenosis).
This class of medicine works by causing relaxation of blood vessels as well as a decrease in blood volume, which leads to lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart.
Most patient require low doses which are well tolerated.
Example - Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril, Ramipril, Perindopril, Benazepril, Fosinopril, Quinapril, Trandolapril.
Large hydrophobic N-heterocyclic ring increase potency.
Ring showed contain –COOH group to mimic ACE substrate.
The Zn2+binding group may be
sulfhydryl (-CH2SH) like captopril
Di-carboxylate like in enalapril, lisinopril and quinapril
Phosphate like fosinopril
Sulfhydryl group shows superior binding to Zn ion and produces side effect like skin rash, taste disturbance etc.
Esterification of carboxylate or phosphate produce orally bioactive prodrug.
Large heterocyclic ring and hydrophobic ring generally N-containing increase potency and alter pharmacokinetic parameter.
Generally pyrrolidine ring is present (E.g. – Captopril, Enalapril)
The N-group must contain –COOH group to mimic the C-terminal carboxylate of ACE substrate.
X is usually methyl to mimic the side chain of aniline . This type of drug do not require prodrug for oral activity.
Drugs are : Losatran, Candesartan, Irbesartan, Valsartan, Telmisartan
The most prominent action of angiotensin II is vasoconstriction.
The two types of angiotensin II receptors are AT1 and AT2 , most of the action of angiotensin II are mediated by AT1 receptor.
Angiotensin receptor blockers do not affect bradykinin production.
Oral bioavibility – 33% (1st pass metabolism) It is partially carbonylated in liver to an active metabolism (E3174).
All ARB prevent and reverse all known effect of angiotensin-II including slow CNS effect, release of catecholamine, secretion of aldosterone, direct and indirect renal effect.
Telmisartan has additional PPAR-ϒ agonistic activity. This activity can help patient with dysglycemia.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. INTRODUCTION
Hypertension is defined as an increase in the arterial blood pressure
above normal.
It is the most common disorder affecting the heart and blood vessels.
The blood pressure (Bp) is said to be normal, if the systolic Bp is
120mm Hg and diastolic is 80mm Hg i.e, 120/80 mm Hg.
An individual is said to be pre hypertensive if systolic pressure is
121-139 mm Hg or diastolic pressure is 81-89 mm Hg.
An individual is said to be hypertensive if his systolic pressure is ≥
140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure is ≥ 90 mm Hg.

5. TYPES OF HYPERTENSION
Hypertension is divided into two types.
1. Primary (Essential) Hypertension:
In majority of cases, hypertension is of unknown cause and is known
as primary or essential hypertension. Even though a definite cause is
not known in primary hypertension the following factors may
contribute to the elevation of Bp.
a. Dietary intake of more sodium and less potassium.
b. Decrease in vascular synthesis of nitric oxide that is responsible for
vasodilatation.
c. In some cases, primary hypertension may be hereditary.
d. Advancement of age may also be responsible for primary
hypertension.
5
6. 2. Secondary Hypertension:
In some cases, hypertension may be secondary to other diseases.
a. Endocrine Disorder
b. Kidney Disorder
c. Muscular Disorder
6
7. IDEAL CHARACTERISTICS
It should have specific site of action.
It should control blood pressure
It should be stable in light and heat
It should not cause cardial, renal or cerebral damage
It should be inexpensive
7
8. CLASSIFICATION
The potential of a substance or drug to lower the blood pressure to
less than 140/90 mm Hg in hypertension patients is termed as
antihypertension activity.
1. ACE Inhibitors:
8
Captopril
Enalapril
27. Angiotenion antagonists block the actions of angiotension II either
by inhibiting its synthesis (ACE inhibitors) or by inhibiting its action
at the receptors (angiotension II receptor antagonists).
27
28. Mechanism of Action:
Angiotension Converting Enzyme (ACE) is involved in the
1. Conversion of Angiotenion I to Angiotenion II which is a potent
vasoconstrictor. Angiotenion II stimulates the synthesis of
aldosterone which causes increased reabsorption ofsodium and water
fluid retention cardiac output blood pressure.
2. Degradation of bradykinin which is a potent vasodilator.
Thus, the inhibition of ACE by ACE inhibitors leads to
vasodilatation followed by decrease in Bp due to decreased
formation of Angiotenion II which in turn leads to reduced
aldosterone synthesis and increase bradykinin levels.
28
29. SAR:
1. Presence of carboxylic acid on N-ring is essential for the compound.
2. Presence of larger nitrogen containing heterocyclic rings will
enhance the potency of the compound by increasing its lipophilicity.
3. The zinc binding groups are essential for stabilization they may be
either sulfhydryl (-CH2SH) as in captapril, caroxylate ( ) as in
Lisinopril or phosphate ( ) groups as in fosinopril.
29
30. 4. Presence of sulfuhydryl group leads shorter duration of action
because it facilitates the formation of dimmers and disulfides eg:
Captopril
5. Presence of carboxylate or phosphinate group facilitates the
esterification process, thus producing orally active prodrugs. R1 is
generally a methyl group to resemble the side chain of alanine.
6. When R1 is n-butylamine in dicarboxylate containing compounds it
resembles the lysine side chain and the compound is orally active
thus eliminating the need for it to be a Prodrug eg: Lisinopril.
7. When the stereochemistry of the drug (ACE inhibitors) is in
accordance with the stereochemistry of L-amino acid in normal
substrate the drug exhibits maximum activity.
30
32. Pharmacokinetics:
It is well absorbed oral administration. Food delays the absorption of
captopril but not other drugs. Therefore captopril should be taken
one hour before meal. Captopril has faster onset of action but lesser
duration of action compared to Enalapril and Lisinopril. It is
metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
dry cough (should go away after you stop taking captopril),
dizziness, shortness of breath, skin rash,
a change in the way that foods taste
Head ache, nausea, bowel upset
Fetal toxicity, neutropenia (abnormal decrease in neutrophil count),
Angioedema (swelling of lips, tongue)
Acute renal failure, in patients with renal artery stenosis.
Weight gain
Hypotension is seen in CHF patients and patients on diuretics.
32
33. Therapeutic Uses:
Used in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure
(CHF) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
Used in the treatment of myocardial infarction.
Used in the treatment of diabetic and non-diabetic nephropathy.
It is also used to treat kidney disease in people with diabetes.
Dose:
25-50 mg b.i.d orally.
33
35. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral route of administration, metabolized in the liver as it is a
Prodrug which is metabolically transformed into enalaprilat, mainly
eliminated through renal excretion, where approximately 94% of the
total dose is excreted via urine or feces as either enalaprilat or
unchanged parent compound.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
Dizziness, head ache
weakness
skin rash
cough, nausea, blurred vision
disturbance in taste, hypotension, branchaspasm
35
36. Therapeutic Uses:
Enalapril oral tablet is used to treat high blood pressure, heart
failure, and asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.
Enalapril may be used as part of a combination therapy. That means
you need to take it with other drugs.
Dose:
5-20 mg OD Orally.
36
38. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral route of administration, it is not metabolized and is excreted as
the unchanged drug, entirely eliminated exclusively in the urine.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
Headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting
persistent cough
low blood pressure, chest pain
diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach pain,
Skin irritation
38
39. Therapeutic Uses:
Lisinopril oral tablet is used to treat high blood pressure and heart
failure. It’s also used to improve your chance of survival after a heart
attack.
This drug may be used as part of a combination therapy. That means
you may need to take it with other drugs.
Dose:
5-40 mg OD Orally.
39
41. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral route of administration, metabolized in liver, i.e Cleavage of the
ester group (primarily in the liver) converts benazepril to its active
metabolite; benazeprilat. Benazepril and benazeprilat are conjugated
to glucuronic acid prior to urinary excretion.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
dizziness, headache, drowsiness, anxiety, lightheadedness,
confusion, fever
cough, nausea,
vomiting, constipation,
tired feeling,
sleep problems (insomnia),
flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling),
Itching or Skin rash.
41
42. Therapeutic Uses:
Benazepril is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks,
and kidney problems.
Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor and works by relaxing blood vessels
so that blood can flow more easily.
Dose:
20 to 40 mg/day orally as a single dose or in two equally divided
doses.
42
44. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral route of administration, metabolized in liver, i.e de-esterified to
the active quinaprilat or dehydrated to form the inactive PD109488.
PD109488 can undergo O-deethylation to form another inactive
metabolite, PD113413, eliminated through urine.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
Headache, dizziness, fatigue
coughing, chest pain, low blood pressure (hypotension)
nausea or vomiting
stomach pain, diarrhea
gasping for air
muscle pain
skin rash, back pain
44
45. Therapeutic Uses:
Quinapril is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure.
Dose:
Usual Adult Dose for Hypertension
Initial dose: 10 or 20 mg orally once a day in patients not on
diuretics
Maintenance dose: 20 to 80 mg orally per day, administered as a
single dose or in two equally divided doses
Usual Adult Dose for Congestive Heart Failure
Initial dose: 5 mg orally twice a day
Maintenance dose: 20 to 40 mg orally per day administered in two
equally divided doses
45
47. Drugs belonging to this class act by inhibiting the sympathetic
nervous system by central action.
They stimulate α-adrenergic receptors of the vasomotor centre in
medulla there by reducing non adrenaline release and sympathetic
activity leading to fall blood pressure.
47
49. Pharmacokinetics:
Upon oral administration, Clonidine is rapidly absorbed with nearly
100% bioavailability. It is well distributed in the body and undergoes

hypertensive crisis.
It is used in the prophylactic treatment of migraine, headache,
menopausal flushing.
It is used to treat glucoma, insomnia, neuropathic pain.
It is used in growth retardation, as it stimulates the release of growth
hormones from pituitary gland.
Dose:
An initial dose of 0.1 mg OD gradually increased to 0.3 mg by oral
route.
50
52. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral route of administration, metabolized in liver, eliminated
through urine.

dry mouth, upset stomach,
drowsiness, dizziness, headache, coma
weakness
decreased sexual ability
fainting, swollen ankles or feet
increased or decreased heartbeat, irregular heartbeat
Respiratory problems, hypotension, frequent urination
Blurred vision, muscle pain, dry eyes, back pain
52
53. Therapeutic Uses:
Guanabenz is used to treat high blood pressure. It is in a class of
medications called centrally acting alpha2A-adrenergic receptor
agonists.
Guanabenz works by decreasing your heart rate and relaxing the
blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily through the body.
Dose:
4 to 8 mg orally twice a day, whether used alone or in combination
with a Thiazides diuretic.
The maximum dose studied is 32 mg twice a day
53
56. Mechanism of Action:
It is a Prodrug which converts to an active metabolite α-methyl
noradrenaline in the adrenergic neurons.
The active metabolite of the drug acts centrally by stimulating α2-
adrenergic receptors in the vasomotor center of the medulla therapy
reducing the sympathetic activity and noradrenaline release leading
to decrease blood pressure.
56
57. Pharmacokinetics:
Methyldopate is absorbed rapidly but incompletely after oral
administration. It is transported to the brain by amino acid
transporter where it converted to its active metabolite, α-methyl
noradrenaline. The plasma half life of the drug I 2 hours but the
antihypertensive effect lasts for about 24 hours. The drug is excreted
partly as metabolites (sulphate conjugate) and partly in an
unchanged form in urine.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
dry mouth
Drowsiness, headache, depression, night mares, parkinsonism
weakness
loss of energy, or fluid retention in legs, feet, arms, or hands
Hepatotoxicity, constipation
Sexual impotence, gynecomastia
Sedation, forgetfulness
57
58. Therapeutic Uses:
Methyldopate is used in the treatment of moderate hypertension in
combination with diuretics.
Since it does not affect renal blood flow and GFR, it is used in
hypertension associated with renal impairment.
It is especially useful in pregnant women due to its safety and
efficacy.
However due to its severe adverse effects and availability of other
safer drugs, its use has now declined.
Dose:
250 mg b.i.d initially gradually increased to 500 mg by oral route.
58
60. They act directly on arteries or veins to reduce the blood pressure
which are classified as
60
61. a. Arterial Vasodilators:
Diazoxide, Minoxidil, Hydralazine are the potassium channel
openers used as antihypertensive drugs.
They cause direct relaxation of arteries but not veins.

78. Therapeutic Uses:
Reserpine is used in the treatment of moderate hypertension. It is
used in combination with diuretics. But due to its effects on CNs, its
use has declined.
Dose:
0.25 mg OD, by oral route.
78
80. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral route of administration. Guanethidine is converted by the liver
to three metabolites, which are excreted in the urine. The metabolites
are pharmacologically less active than the parent compound, which
are excreted in the urine.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
Drowsiness, dizziness, anxiety, depression
Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, blurred vision, weight gain,
slow heart
nightmares
80
81. Therapeutic Uses:
It is indicated for the treatment of moderate and severe hypertension,
either alone or as an adjunct, and for the treatment of
renal hypertension, including that secondary to pyelonephritis, renal
amyloidosis, and renal artery stenosis.
Dose:
At first, 10 or 12.5 milligrams (mg) once a day. Then, your doctor
may increase your dose to 25 to 50 mg once a day.

83. These drugs used for the treatment of hypertension, ischemic heart
disease, arrhythmias.
All the β-blockers are synthetic agents (Compounds) completely
inhibit the action of adrenergic agonists on β-receptors.
Blockage of β-receptors reduces the heart rate; cardiac output
consequently blood pressure is reduced.
83
85. Pharmacokinetics:
Oral, ophthalmic rote of administration metabolized in the liver by
the cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme, with minor contributions from
CYP2C19. 15-20% of a dose undergoes first-pass
metabolism. Despite its relatively low first pass metabolism, timolol
is 90% metabolized. Four metabolites of timolol have been
identified, with a hydroxy metabolite being the most predominant.
Timolol and its metabolites are mainly found excreted in the urine.
Adverse Drug Reactions:
Blurred vision, double vision, burning of eyes, eye redness, watery
eye,
Head ache, drowsiness, nausea, insomnia (sleep problems)
Weakness, ringing in ears, dry mouth,
Diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach upset
Skin rashes, cough
