Macula densa cells
With what do macula densa cells wake up JG cells?
prostaglandins (act locally)
What produces angiotensinogen
Liver cells
Angiotensinogen + renin
AT1
6 types of drug interactions
- Ion-ion
- Ion-Dipole
- Dipole-dipole
- Hydrophobic
- Pi
- pi-cation
Which receptor interactions are the strongest?
ionic
Intrahepatic recycling
Drugs that are excreted from bile and reabsorbed by the portal vein
Which electrolytes are lost when taking first-line anti-hypertensives?
Na, K, Mg, Cl,
The excretion of which 2 substances decrease when taking first-line anti-hypertensives
Ca, Uric acid
Which drugs mentioned in class are thiazides?
HCTZ, chlorthalidone
how do thiazides work?
Sulfonamide (-SO2NH) donates proton and has a negative charge, which competes with Cl-
DHP drug(s) mentioned in class
Amlodipine
Non-DHP drug(s) mentioned in class
Verapamil and diltiazem
DHP or non-DHP affects the heart as well as vasculature
Non-DHP
What is the reflex response experienced by patients taking CCB?
When taking DHP, carotid artery sense BP drop. NE released
Reflex response is experienced when taking DHP or non-DHP?
DHP only
How do CCBs work?
Block Ca2+ flow into vascular muscle/SA node, decreasing heart rate
Adverse effects of CCBs
Hypotension, Constipation, Muscle weakness, Flushing, Swelling in the lower extremities, Gingival hyperplasia, Headache
Bradykinin is produced when
ACE inhibitors block AT1->AT2
which anti-hypertensive causes cough? why?
ACEI, ARBs,
bradykinin buildup
Which 2 ACEI were mentioned in class?
Enalapril, captopril
ACEI MOA
Block AT1 -> AT2, block bradykinin breakdown
One of the 2 ACEI mentioned in class is a prodrug. Which one?
Enalapril (esters -> COOH)
Taste disturbance is caused by which drug class?
ACEI
Swelling of lower extremities is caused by which drug class?
CCB
What does AT2 do?
Produces aldosterone and causes vasoconstriction
Why would you use an ARB over an ACEI?
ARBs cause less coughing (but still a problem)
Does bradykinin breakdown occur when taking an ACEI? An ARB?
ACEI - no
ARB - yes!
Angioedema occurs much less with (ACEI/ARB) than with (ACEI/ARB)
much less with ARBs
Which drugs mentioned in class are ARBs?
-Valsartan (any -sartan)
ARB MOA
ATII antagonist at ATI receptor
Adverse effects of ARBs
Hypotension, Dizziness, Headache, Nausea and Vomiting (N/V), Cough, Increased K+ levels, Decreased GFR.
OBRA purpose
Requires drug utilization reviews to lessen medication costs and errors
OBRA introduced 3 requirements for pharmacists. What were they?
- Prospective DUR review
- Patient counseling
- Record keeping
Beta blockers side effects
Bradycardia, Sedation, Fatigue, Shortness of Breath (SOB), Headache, Sleep Disturbances, Sexual Dysfunction
BB MOA
Blocks B1 receptor in heart -> Decreased heart rate, Decreased central sympathetic outflow, Decreased Renin release
Direct vasodilators MOA
open potassium channels resulting in hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle. Inside of cell becomes more negative as K leaves

Minoxidil, hydralazine
SA node is controlled by ___ which is controlled by ___ which has ___ receptors
SA node is controlled by vagal nerve, which is controlled by the vasomotor center, which has A2 receptors

Decreased venous return does what to BP? Do CAAs cause a decrease in venous return?
decreased venous return = lower BP, yes
CAAs mentioned in class
Clonidine, alpha-methyl-dopa, alpha-methyl-norepinephrine
Loop diuretic MOA
The loop diuretics are the most powerful diuretics known due primarily to their site of action. Inhibition of the Na+/1K+/2Cl- symport results in a powerful diuretic effect resulting in the loss of these ions along with Ca+2 and Mg+2.
