Summary The effects of endralazine, a new antihypertensive hydrazinopyridazine derivative, on heart rate, mean blood pressure (mBP), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal plasma flow (CPAH), urine volume (V), the clearance of Na, K, urea (Ur) and uric acid (UA), plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone (PA) were studied in hypertensive patients after a single oral dose of 10–15 mg, and after 8–17 days of treatment with daily doses of 15–90 mg. In the acute experiments, heart rate increased by 27%, mBP decreased on average by 17% and GFR by 33% and CPAH fell by only 5%. Urine volume and electrolyte clearance were also depressed. There was a significant increase in PRA and PA. The fall in GFR correlated directly with mBP, CPAH and the product (mBP×CPAH). The logarithms of the Na clearance and V were correlated with GFR and mBP. The logarithms of the fractional excretion of Na and water also correlated with mBP, suggesting that tubular reabsorption of sodium and water may be affected by change in mBP. The fractional potassium excretion correlated directly with CPAH and ln PA. In contrast, on sustained daily treatment, mBP was less depressed (9%), but GFR increased strikingly by 27% and CPAH by 46%. The body weight increased by 4.5% as a consequence of salt and water retention. GFR was correlated with CPAH, the product (mBP×CPAH) and the increase in body weight. Thus, the improvement in GFR and effective renal plasma flow observed under these conditions may be due, in part, to volume expansion. However, a direct renal vasodilating effect of the drug appears to be the more important determinant.
