This document summarizes a seminar on hypertension and antihypertensive drugs presented by Debam Chakrabarty. It defines hypertension and blood pressure, describes symptoms of hypertension. It also explains what antihypertensive drugs are, how they work, and examples of different classes of antihypertensive drugs. The document lists side effects of various antihypertensive drugs and natural ways to treat hypertension. It also discusses the structure and synthesis of some antihypertensive drugs and provides updates on new antihypertensive drugs under development.

4. Hypertension (HTNor HT), alsoknown as highblood pressure (HBP),
is a longtermmedicalcondition in whichthe blood pressure in the
arteries is persistentlyelevated.
Hypertension is defined as havinga blood pressure higher than 140
over90 mmHg, witha consensus across medical guidelines.
What is hypertension?
5. Blood pressure is the force exertedby the bloodagainst the walls of blood vessels,
and the magnitude of this force depends on the cardiacoutput and the resistance of
the blood vessels.
Bloodpressure is written as twonumbers, suchas 118/72. The first number is the
systolic pressure. This is the pressure in the arterieswhenthe heart beatsand fills
themwithblood. The second number is the diastolicpressure. Thisis thepressure
in the arteries when the heart rests betweenbeats
What is blood pressure ?
7. High blood pressure itself is usually asymptomatic , meaning
that patients do not experience any direct symptoms of the
condition. This is why hypertension is often referred to as "the
silent killer," as it can quietly causes damage to the
cardiovascular system.
Symptoms of hypertension.
8. Antihypertensives are a classof drugs that are used to
treat hypertension (highblood pressure).
Antihypertensivetherapyseeks to prevent the complications of
highbloodpressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction.

13. MECHANISM OF ACTION OF
ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS
1)Peripheral antiadrenergic drugs:
These drugs lower blood pressure by
blocking α1_adrenoceptors that subserve
vasoconstrictor function.
2)Centrally acting agents: The mechanism of these
drugs is caused by stimulation of
α2_adrenoceptors in the inhihitory structure
of the brain.
3)Direct vasodialators: It reduce blood pressure by
direct relaxation of smooth muscle of the
arterioles,possibly as a result of calcium
channel activation of smooth musculature in
arterioles

4) Ganglionic blocking agents: These drugs block
sympathetic ganglia, interrupting
adrenergic control of arterioles,and result
in vasodialation,improved peripheral
blood flow in some vascular beds,and a
fail in blood pressure
5)β _Adrenergic blockers: These drugs block the
β_receptor of the heart ,slow the heart
,reduce the force of contrustion,and
reduce the cardiac output

6) Calcium channel blockers: calcium channel
blockers drugs block voltage dependent
calcium cannels ,especially the calcium
channel in cardiac and smooth muscle.
7)Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitor:
Angiotensinogen→renin→angiotensin
ɪ(decapeptide,biologically
inactive)→angiotensin∏(octapeptide)→vaso
construction→Na+ retention→hypertension
16. CONTINUE…
8)Angiotensin∏ Antgonists: These compounds
compete with angiotensin∏ at the receptor
site and block the contractile effect of
angiotensin ∏ in all vascular smooth
muscles.
9)Miscellaneous drugs: Thiazide and high ceiling
diuretics lower blood pressure of pressure
with essential hypertension.
