It also binds to imidazoline receptor 1 (Ki= 19 nM in a radioligand binding assay).2Guanfacine (0.3-5 mg/kg) binds to adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system and lowers blood pressure in hypertensive rats in a dose-dependent manner.3It also improves spatial working memory deficits induced by hypobaric hypoxia in rats.4Formulations containing guanfacine are used in the treatment of high blood pressure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). 1.Jasper, J.R., Lesnick, J.D., Chang, L.K., et al.Ligand efficacy and potency at recombinant α2 adrenergic receptors: Agonist-mediated [35S]GTPγS bindingBiochem.

Alamandine can be formed from angiotensin A by action of ACE-2 or directly from angiotensin-(1-7) by decarboxylation of its aspartate residue. The angiotensin A analog produces effects resembling those of Ang II (1-7). However, it acts independently of the two known vasodilators receptors of the RAS (Mas and angiotensin II type 2). To produce its effects, alamandine binds to the Mas-related receptor, MrgD. A novel orally active formulation of alamandine produced a long-term antihypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats and cardioprotective effects. These novel findings will be helpful for developing a new understanding of the RAS, a key regulator of blood pressure and fluid balance. The heptapeptide could serve as a model peptide, e.g. in the development and evaluation of analytical methods.

Chlorthalidone impurity G is a potential impurity found in commercial preparations of chlorthalidone that has moderate antihypertensive effects. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that inhibits the Na+/Cl- cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, which prevents reabsorption of sodium and chloride leading to a reduction in plasma volume and cardiac output. It also inhibits carbonic anhydrase (CA), including the isoforms CAVB, VII, IX, XII, and XIII (Kis = 2.8-23 nM) and, to a lesser extent, CAI, CAII, IV, VA, and VI (Kis = 138-1,347 nM), which may mediate its sustained vasodilatory activity. Dietary administration of chlorthalidone (8 mg per animal per day) reduces arterial hypertension and prevents or reduces ventricular hypertrophy induced by deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) in salt-hypertensive rats. Formulations containing chlorthalidone have been used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents to lower arterial blood pressure and as adjuvants to address edema caused by cardiac or renal disorders.

Urocortin II, a neuropeptide hormone within the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family—which comprises mammalian CRF, urocortin I, urocortin III, frog sauvagine, and piscine urotensin I—displays 34, 43, and 37-40% sequence homology with rat and human CRF, human urocortin I, and human urocortin III, respectively. This compound enhances rabbit ventricular myocyte shortening and relaxation in both a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In vivo studies reveal that urocortin II lowers arterial blood pressure in both normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats through peripheral CRF2 receptor agonism, inducing dose-dependent tachycardia and hypotension at doses of 3 and 30 pmol/kg. Additionally, it mitigates the visceral pain response to colorectal distension at 10 and 20 μg/kg in conscious rats and delays gastric emptying in mice.

Isoproterenol inhibits contractions in isolated field-stimulated rat vas deferens (EC50 = 45.6 nM). In vivo, isoproterenol (0.33 mg/kg) decreases blood pressure and increases water intake in nephrectomized rats. It reduces blood pressure and increases heart rate in renal hypertensive rabbits. Isoproterenol inhibits histamine-induced bronchospasms in anesthetized dogs.
