pharmacological research to the treatment of hypertension has been a continuous
process, starting with drugs discovered 60 years ago, such as thiazide diuretics
(1958) and currently finishing with the newest antihypertensive agent available
on the market, the orally active direct renin-inhibitor aliskiren, discovered more
than 10 years ago (2000) (Laurent, 2017).
In between, there has been a continuous rate of discovery, including
spironolactone (1957), beta-blockers (propranolol, 1973), centrally acting alpha-

blocker (prazosin, 1975), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (captopril,
1977), calcium channel blockers (verapamil, 1977), and angiotensin II receptor
blockers (losartan, 1993) (Kotchen, 2011).
