L 18 Medicinal Chemistry of Hypertension Flashcards
What Hypertension causes?
decreased vascular tone.
Hypertension can be risk factors for many other disease?
Stroke, Myocardial infarction (IHD)
Heart Failure(HF)
Atrial fibrillation (AF)
Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)
What target drug in RAA (Renin angiotensin aldosterone) system?
Angiotensinogen is a 452 protein, which hydrolyzed by renin and produces angiotensin I,
then it further converted by angiotensin-converting enzyme and form angiotensin ii than it makes the signals to GPCR.
(Remember if Angiotensin ii is high in our blood cause hypertension, so drug target is Angiotensin ii)
Why we can’t just use peptides?
Because they hydrolyzed easily. Not good.
What are the types of angiotensin II receptor subtypes?
AT1 receptor and AT2 receptor
Angiotensin II is an … at both … and …
Angiotensin II is an endogenous agonist at both AT1R and AT2R
Drugs that are angiotensin II ‘blockers’ are thought to be … …
AT1R antagonists
What are the 3 different drug targets for hypertension?
- Renin
- ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)
- AT2R (Angiotensin 2 Receptor)
What are the Adv and Dis of peptide drugs:
Adv: highly specific and high affinity for target
Disadv: hydrolysed quickly = poor stability & low oral bioavailability.
ACE inhibitors + examples (x6)
e.g captopril, enalapril, cilazapril, perindopril, quinapril, lisinopril.
Is lisinopril a prodrug?
Not
Which ACEI are administered in their active form?
Lisinopril and captopril
Is losartan a prodrug? What class of drug is losartan?
No, because technically both losartan and its metabolite have biological activity.
Drug class = Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)
Is the candesartan cilexetil a prodrug?
Yes
Ester hydrolysis of Candesartan occurs during…?
Absorption from the GIT
What are the Examples of Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers?
Losartan, candesartan, irbesartan
Which part of the losartan bind to the target and with which help?
Carboxylic acid moiety binds with the target. With the hlep of CYP 2C9 & 3A4 enzyme.
Is losartan a prodrug?
No
Which receptors do angiotensin II blockers act at?
AT1 receptors
