Furosemide (Lasix) MOA
Inhibits Cl portion of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in luminal membrane at medullary and cortical (proximal) talH –> decreased Ca++ and Na+ (and water) reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Chlorthalidone (Thalitone) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Metolazone (Zaroxolyn) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Amiloride (Midamor) MOA
Blocks Na channel and Na/H antiporter in lumenal membrane at the late distal tubule and collecting duct –> decreased K+ secretion and distal tubule acid secretion, increased Ca++ absorption
Captopril (Capoten) MOA
Blocks endothelial ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor); as a side effect, also prevents breakdown of bradykinin (potent vasodilator)
Lisinopril (Prinivil); Benazepril (Lotensin); Quinapril (Accupril); Ramipril (Altace) MOA
Blocks endothelial ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor); as a side effect, also prevents breakdown of bradykinin (potent vasodilator)
Enalapril (Vasotec) MOA
Blocks endothelial ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor); as a side effect, also prevents breakdown of bradykinin (potent vasodilator)
Losartan (Cozaar); Valsartan (Diovan); Irbesartan (Avapro) MOA
Competitive inhibition of angiotensin II in vascular endothelium
Aliskiren (Tekturna) MOA
Renin inhibitor
Spironolactone (Aldactone) MOA
Competes for aldosterone receptor, inhibiting mRNA transcription and translation –> decreased Na and K channels, decreased number and activity of Na-K-ATPase pumps in the late distal tubule and collecting duct –> decreased K+ secretion, distal tubule acid secretion
Eplerenone (Inspra) MOA
Block alodesterone; inhibits sodium reabsorption in distal tubule
Diltiazem (Cardizem); Verapamil (Calan) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes decreased contractility, firing rate of aberrant pacemaker sites, and conduction velocity; prolongs repolarization in SA node and AV node (–> decreases HR); less vasodilation
Amlodipine (Norvasc); Nifedipine (Procardia) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes dilation of epicardial coronary arteries, arteriolar resistance arteries; less heart-specific activity
Propranolol (Inderal) MOA
Nonselective _-blocker; primarily reduces cardiac output
Metoprolol (Lopressor) MOA
Moderately selective _1 blockade
Atenolol (Tenormin) MOA
Moderately selective _1 blockade
Nadolol (Corgard) MOA
Moderately selective _1 blockade
Bisoprolol (Zebeta) MOA

Esmolol (Brevibloc) MOA
Terazosin (Hytrin) MOA
Blocks post-synaptic _1-adrenergic receptor antagonist on vascular smooth muscle
