8 - Antihypertensive Drugs Flashcards
Angiotensin affects what things
aldosterone and resistance arterioles
Renin inhibitor
Aliskiren
ARB’s =
effect?
Angiotensin receptor blockers
stop Vasoconstriction and Aldosterone secretion effecs of AT2
Spironolactone and eplerenone direct effects
inhibition of aldosterone recepors
Enzyme for AT2→AT3
Aminopeptidase
AT3
Also biologically active molecule
Promotes aldosterone release
Other routes to angiotensin
AP
ACE2
Prorenin
Has a recepor of its own
Bound to its receptor = helps regulate the whole angiotensin system, as well as playing a role in cardio disease, brain development
AT1 receptor function
receptor for AT2
???
ATr1 and ATr2 are receptors for
AT2 and AT3
Three ways we control renin release
- NaCl reabsorption at MD
- BP in Preglomerular vessels
- Activation of B1 adrenergic recepors on Juxtaglomerular cells
If blood pressure drops, less sodium sent to tubule, what happens
MD senses lower NaCl and increases Renin release
AT1 receptor aka
MOA
Angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor
- GPCR: Gi and Gq
AT1r also couples to
phospholipase A2
AT1r is located where
BV
brain
adrenal
kidney
heart
Activation of AT1r works to
increase BP
Rapid pressor response of angiotensin 2 from
altered peripheral resistance
(direct vasoconstric, increased NE, increased sy discharge)
SLow pressor response of Angiotensin 2
from altered renal function
(sodium and water retention, direct renal vasoconstriction, increased NE in kidney)
