    Notes: Summary The antihypertensive efficacy and endocrine profile of the new antihypertensive agent, Ro 12-4713, were evaluated in 23 patients (17 men and 6 women) with moderate to severe arterial hypertension. Following addition of Ro 12-4713 to pre-existing therapy with diuretics and beta-blockers or sympatholytics, blood pressure in most of the patients was normalized within one month by a daily dose of 60 to 120 mg. Heart rate was only slightly increased. Orthostatic hypotension was not observed. Weight gain or oedema formation occurred in 14 patients within the first four weeks, but could be controlled satisfactorily by intensified diuretic therapy. Increased hair growth occurred in most of the patients. After a mean duration of treatment of 2.8 months, plasma volume and plasma and urine sodium were unaltered, and plasma potassium was slightly decreased. Plasma renin activity was doubled, whereas plasma aldosterone concentrations were unaltered. Plasma norepinephrine levels were high before and increased only slightly during chronic Ro 12-4713 treatment, whereas urinary norepinephrine excretion was unchanged. Plasma and urinary epinephrine were unaltered by Ro 12-4713. Ro 12-4713 appears to be a potent vasodilator for the combination treatment of hypertension in men.

    Antihypertensive mechanism of the diuretic muzolimine in mild renal failure (1982)
    Springer
    European journal of clinical pharmacology 23 (1982), S. 215-220

    ISSN: 1432-1041
    Keywords: hypertension ; muzolimine ; mild renal functional impairment ; diuretic treatment ; body sodium ; catecholamines ; cardiovascular pressor responsiveness

    Notes: Summary Eighteen patients with mild impairment of renal function (glomerular filtration rate 65±5 ml/min: m±SEM) and hypertension (168/105±6/3 mmHg) were shown on average to have abnormally increased cardiovascular pressor responsiveness to infused norepinephrine (NE; p〈0.05), whereas plasma and urinary NE, exchangeable body sodium and blood-volume did not differ significantly from normal. A slightly increased pressor responsiveness to angiotensin II was associated with a tendency to low plasma renin activity (PRA). Compared to placebo conditions, treatment with the loop-diuretic muzolimine in a mean dose of 35±2 mg/day for six weeks decreased blood-pressure and exchangeable sodium (p〈0.05), and NE pressor responsiveness was restored to normal values, whilst plasma and urinary NE were not significantly changed. This was consistent with improvement of the initially abnormal relationship between NE levels and NE responsiveness factors. In contrast, the pressor dose of angiotensin II and PRA were increased to an approximatively similar extent during muzolimine treatment. These observations suggest that removal of body sodium and a decrease in NE reactivity without an equivalent increase in sympathetic nervous activity may be important complementary factors in the antihypertensive mechanisms of diuretic treatment in patients with mild renal functional impairment.

    Acute effects of prizidilol on blood pressure, heart rate, catecholamines, renin and aldosterone in essential hypertension (1982)

    Notes: Summary Prizidilol is a new antihypertensive agent reported to possess combined precapillary vasodilator and betareceptor-blocking properties. To clarify the profile of the acute effects of prizidilol in man, a variable dose study was performed in 8 patients with benign essential hypertension. Blood pressure, heart rate, plasma renin activity, aldosterone, plasma and urinary catecholamines and electrolytes were determined at short intervals before and up to 23 h after oral administration of placebo and prizidilol 150, 300 and 600 mg. The 4 studies were performed at weekly intervals according to a Latin square design. Prizidilol produced dose-dependent decreases in supine and upright blood pressure, with an initial change after about 2 h and maximal effects from 4 to 8 h after drug ingestion. Following a high dose of prizidilol, supine mean blood pressure (average 128 mmHg prior to treatment) was normalised (〈107 mmHg) from 3 to 7 h and was still below predose levels 23 h after ingestion. The only reported side effects were postural dizziness in 2 cases (corresponding to a fall in systolic upright blood pressure to 〈95 mmHg) and headache in one case. A biphasic variation in heart rate and plasma renin activity, with an early drop and a subsequent tendency to a slight rise, was observed after an intermediate or high dose of prizidilol. Plasma norepinephrine levels were increased by a high dose of prizidilol, while plasma epinephrine, aldosterone and plasma and urinary electrolytes were not consistently changed. Prizidilol in a single oral dose appeared to be a potent antihypertensive agent. The profile of heart rate and plasma renin point to early dominance of beta-blockade followed by appearance of the concomitant vasodilator properties of prizidilol.
