What are the Ca2+ channel blockers?
“pines”- these block L-type Ca2+ channels in smooth muscle only
What do Diltiazem and Verapamil do?
non-dihydropyridine ca2+ channel blockers that block L-type Ca2+ channels in CARDIAC and smooth muscle
Side effects of Ca2+ channel blockers?
- constipation
- edema
- bradycardia

BEACH
What are some NO releasing drugs?
- Hydralazine
- Nitroprusside

READ
What are some drugs that open K+ channels?
- Minoxidil
- Diazoxide
What is an example of a D1 agonist? Mechanism?
Fenoldopam- vasodilates renal vessels and inhibits ACh release
What is a side effect of Diazoxide?
you also see inhibition of Ca2+ channels which can decrease insulin secretion and lead to hyperglycemia
How is angiotensinogen converted to angiotension I?
renin
What drug blocks renin? Side effect?
Alskiren; hyperkalemia
What converts angiotension I to angiotension II?
ACE
What else does ACE do?
converts bradykinin to inactive metabolites
So what is a side effect of ACE inhibitors?
drug, irritating cough
What are the effects of angiotensin II?
- vasoconstriction
- aldosterone secretion
What drugs prevent angiotensin II action?
ARBs- angiotension receptor blockers
cough is not a side effect
