CLASSIFICATION OF
ANTIHYPERTENSIVES DRUGS




                   PRESENTED BY:-

                    Dr Nikhil
                    Bansal
                J.N.M.C.,Wardha
The drugs used in the treatment of
 hypertension act by reducing the
 cardiac output and/or reducing the
 total peripheral resistance, without
 correcting the cause.
CLASSIFICATION:-
1)Drugs acting centrally.
2)Drugs acting on autonomic ganglia.
3)Drugs acting on the postganglionic sympathetic nerve
  ending.
4)Drugs acting on the adrenergic receptors.
5)Drugs acting on the vascular smooth muscle.
6)Potassium channel activators.
7)Drugs which block renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis.
8)Oral diuretics.
9)Miscellaneous.
Drugs acting centrally:-

(a)Alpha2 adrenergic receptor
stimulants:-
   eg:- Clonidine and methyldopa

(b) Selective imidazole receptor (I-
receptor) Stimulant:-
   eg:- Moxonidine
Drugs acting on the autonomic
ganglion:-

  Ganglion blocking agents
   eg:- Trimethaphan
Drugs acting on the postganglionic
sympathetic nerve endings:-

 (a) Adrenergic neuron blockers
  eg:- Guaenethidine, Bethanidine, Debrisoquine, Bretylium.


 (b) Catecholamine depletors
  eg:- Reserpine
Drugs acting on adrenergic receptors :-

 (a) Alpha-adrenergic blocking agents
  eg:- Phentolamine, Phenoxybenzamine, Prazosine,
 Indoramine.

 (b) Beta-adrenergic blocking agents
  eg:- Propranol, Atenolol, Metopprolol.

(c) Both alpha and beta adrenergic blocking drugs
  eg:- Labetalol
Drugs acting directly on the vascular
 smooth muscle:-
  (a)Arteriolar vasodilators
   eg:- Calcium channel blockers, Hydralazine, Diazoxide,
      Minoxidil
  (b) Arteriolar-venular vasodilators
   eg:-Sodium nitroprusside
.


    Potassium channel activators:-
     eg:-Diazoxide, Minoxidil, Pinacidil, Nicorandil.
Drugs which block renin-angiotensin-
 aldosterone axis:-
 (a)Those which block renin release
  eg:- Beta-adrenergic blockers
 (b) Those which block the conversion of angiotensin
 I to angiotensin II:-
 These drugs act by inhibiting the angiotensin
converting enzyme (ACE)
     eg:- Captopril, Enalapril
(c) Those which competitively block angiotensin II
      vascular receptors (ARB):
     eg;- Losartan.
(d) Those which counterer the action of aldosterone
      (Aldosterone antagonist):-
       eg:- Spironolactone.
Oral diuretics:-
  eg:-Thiazides

Miscellaneous:-
  eg:- Metyrosine
It must be emphasized that
various antihypertensive
 drugs may ultimately
reduce BP in humans by
more than one mechanism.
THANK YOU
