How do kidneys control BP
Baroreceptors in kidneys
Decrease in arterial BP---> Kidneys secrete Renin (secreted when Na low)--> Renin coverts Angiotensinogen to Angiotension I----> Angiotension II in lungs by ACE
Most potent vasoconstrictor in the body

Constricts arteries and veins, INCREASING BP

Increases GFR

Stimulates Aldosterone secretion which increases Na reabsorption--> increase in blood volume--> increase BP
Angiotension II
1. Heart Failure: Increase renin secretion by juxtaglomerular cells in response to low renal perfusion


Increase renin secretion in response to sympathetic stimulation due to decrease perfusion

Renin increases Angiotension II
Aldosterone Increases---> NaCl and H2O reabsorption---> increase blood volume

High levels angiotension II BAD on heart causing remodeling and fibrosis
Antagonists of Renin-Angiotension System
Drug of choice for Heart Failure

Inhibit conversion Angiotension II, Decrease vasoconstrictive effects on arterioles and veins, inhibit metabolism of bradykinin (increasing dilating effect)

Effect: Vasodilation
Aldosterone secretion is decreased, decrease Na and H2O retention, decreasing blood volume and BP
ACE Inhibitors
1. Sulfhydryl Group (Captopril)
2. Dicarboxyl Groups
3. Phosphorous Groups (Fosinopril)
Three groups ACE Inhibitors
ACE Inhibitors are ester pro-drugs and differ from one another in 3 ways
1. Potency
2. Whether the pharmacological effect is due to the parent compound or it's metabolite
3. Pharmacokinetics (extent of absorption, with or without food, T1/2, distribution, and route of excretion)

Differ in TISSUE DISTRIBUTION
All block Angiotension I from becoming Angiotension II

1. Therapeutic indications
2. Adverse effects
3. CI
ACE Inhibitors Similarities
What ACE Inhibitors are not excreted by the kidneys
Fosinopril and Spirapril (excreted by liver and kidneys)
Which pts should the dose of ACE Inhibitors be reduced?
Impaired renal function b/c increase duration of plasma conc---T1/2

Pts with elevated plasma renin activity; they have a hyper-reactive response (pts with HF and Na depletion)---induced hypotension
Pro-drug of epinephrine

Increases the lipid solubility by 600x vs epinephrine

Ocular penetration is 16X that of epinephrine

Biochemically altered to improve kinetics but does not participate in pharm effect
Dipivefrin---Propine
1. Propine
2. Prostaglandins (Latanoprost, Travaprost, Bimatoprost, Tafluprost)
3. Valacyclovir---> Acyclovir
4. Famciclovir---> Penciclovir
5. Bacampicillin--> Ampicillin
6. L-Dopa--> Dopamine
7. Nevanac--> Amfenac
PRO-DRUGS

Amoxicillin is not the pro-drug of Ampicillin

Acyclovir = pre-drug
Bioavailability 75%
Peak plasma conc in 1 HR
T1/2: 2 HRS
40-50% excreted unchanged
Food decreases bioavailability by 25-30%, dose 1hr BEFORE meals

Dose 6.25mg - 150mg bid to tid
ACE INHIBITORS with Sulfydryl groups

Captopril
Pro-drug, cleaved in liver to Benazeprilat--dicarboxylic acid form
More potent than capyopril, lisinopril, enalapril

Rapidly 37% absorbed
Completely metabolized
Peak plasma conc: 1/2-1 hr for benazepril, 1-2 hr for benazeprilat

T1/2 10-11 hrs

ONLY ACCUMULATES IN THE LUNG

Dose: 5-80mg/day
ACE INHIBITORS with Dicarboxylic groups

Benazepril (Lotensin)
Enalapril maleate is the pro-drug of the carboxylic acid enalaprilat

60% absorbed
NOT DECREASED BY FOOD

Peak levels in 1hr; Peak of enalaprilat 3-4hrs

T1/2 1.3hrs for enalapril; 11hrs for enalaprilat

Dose: 2.5mg-40mg
HF 2.5mg; HTN 5mg
ACE INHIBITORS with Dicarboxylic groups

Enalapril (Vasotec)
Primarily for IV
HTN: 0.625-1.25mg IV over 5 min, repeat every 6 hrs as needed
ACE INHIBITORS with Dicarboxylic groups

Enalaprilat
Lysine analog of enalaprilat, ACTIVE

Slowly 30% absorbed
