Thiazides Diuretics:
• These are sulphonamides derivatives. These are potent
diuretics. All the thiazides drugs have qualitatively similar
action but differ quantitatively. Given orally. They highly
bound to plasma proteins. Probencid inhibits the action
of thiazides diuretics.
Mechanism of Action:
• Main site of action is distal convoluted tubules. Normally
at this site of entry Na ions is associated with the entry of
Cl ions. This process is known as Na-Cl ions co-transport
system. Both the ions move in the same direction.
• Thiazide inhibits Na-Cl co-transport system and prevents
the reabsorption of Na and Cl ions.
• The unabsorbed Na and Cl ions along with water reach
the collecting tubules. Normally at this site Na ions is
reabsorbed in exchange for K+ ions and H+ ions.
• Thiazide inhibits C-A enzyme with the result
that H+ ions are not avaliable to be exchange
for Na+ ions. So Na is reabsorbed in exchange
for K + ions. This leads to severe K+
depletions.
• The unabsorbed, Cl and K ions pass out from
kidney tubules along with water.
Other actions of Thiazides Diuretics:
• They depress GFR, this is due to direct action of
Thiazide diuretics on renal blood vessels.
• They also inhibits tubular excretion of uric acid,
raises plasma uric acid level.
• Thiazides reduce the excretion of Ca ions by by direct
action on distal tubule.
Anti-hypertensive Action:
Thiazides reduces B.P by two mechanisms.
1: Blood volume is reduced due to Na+ ions depletion and
fall CO, leads to fall of B.P
2: Thiazides directly act on smooth muscles of arterioles,
which are relaxed leading to dilatation of blood vessels
and falls of B.P
Action on Carbohydrates metabolism
Thiazides causes hyperglycemia, leads to diabetes mellitus. This
is due to
1: They depress B-cells of pancrease and reduce secretions of
insulin.
2: They increase the breakdown of glycogen to glucose.
3: They decrease the peripheral utilization of glucose.
Action on Lipid Metabolism
• Thiazides increase the plasma conc triglycerides and
cholesterol.
Indications:
1: Mild severe HTN
2: edema due to CHF
As Diuretics in hypercalciuria as thiazides reduce the excretion of Ca
ions and thus prevents the formation of kidney stones.
Contra-Indications:
Renal failure
Gout
Diabetes mellitus
Adverse Effects
• Hypokalemia, which also induces cardiac arrhythemias.
• Muscle cramps due to Na excretions.
• Precipitates gout
• May precipitate DM
• Increases plasma cholesterol level
• Skin rashes, thrombocytopenia and impotency
