Aqueous solubility and permeability through biomembranes are important parameters for drug bioavailability. Nanoparticles can be considered as a useful tool for improving properties of poorly soluble and/or permeable active ingredients. Hydrochlorothiazide (Class IV of BCS) was chosen as a model compound. Antisolvent precipitation – solvent evaporation and emulsion solvent evaporation methods w...

Background: As it is known, antihypertensive drugs are frequently used for the treatment of individuals with high blood pressure all over world. This study aims to precisely determine active substances telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, which commercially sold as in market, use ratio spectrum method this purpose. Method: All, solutions ingredients studied were prepared various concentrations....

BACKGROUND To date, 39 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with blood pressure (BP) or hypertension in genome-wide association studies in whites. Our hypothesis is that the loci/SNPs associated with BP/hypertension are also associated with BP response to antihypertensive drugs. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed the association of these loci with BP response to atenolol o...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects between calcium channel blockers and diuretics when used in combination with angiotensin II receptor blocker on aortic systolic blood pressure (BP) and brachial ambulatory systolic BP. We conducted a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study in 207 hypertensive patients (mean age: 68.4 years). Patients received olmesartan monot...

BACKGROUND Thiazide and loop diuretics are secreted from the proximal tubule via the organic anion transport system to reach their principal sites of action. Recently, a multispecific organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) was identified in rat kidney and was localized to the basolateral membrane of the S2 segment in the proximal tubule. We postulated that interactions between thiazide or loop diur...

The combination of benazepril plus amlodipine was shown to be more effective than benazepril plus hydrochlorothiazide in reducing cardiovascular events in the Avoiding Cardiovascular Events through Combination Therapy in Patients Living with Systolic Hypertension (ACCOMPLISH) trial. There was a small difference in clinic systolic blood pressure between the treatment arms favoring benazepril plu...

We assessed adverse metabolic effects of atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide among hypertensive patients with and without abdominal obesity using data from a randomized, open-label study of hypertensive patients without evidence of cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus. Intervention included randomization to 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide or 100 mg of atenolol monotherapy followed by their com...

Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases and the search for new therapeutic strategies aimed at optimizing its control remains an ongoing research and clinical challenge. In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the use of combinations of antihypertensive drugs with complementary mechanisms of action, with the aims of reducing blood...

NEDD4L is involved in the regulation of plasma volume and blood pressure by controlling cell surface expression of the kidney epithelial Na(+) channel. Previously, the cryptic splice variant rs4149601(G/A) A allele of NEDD4L, generating isoform I, was estimated to decrease blood pressure by downregulating Na(+) reabsorption. However, a recent functional study showed that isoform I should lead t...

Azilsartan medoxomil, an effective, long-acting angiotensin II receptor blocker, is a new treatment for hypertension that is also being developed in fixed-dose combinations with chlorthalidone, a potent, long-acting thiazide-like diuretic. We compared once-daily fixed-dose combinations of azilsartan medoxomil/chlorthalidone force titrated to a high dose of either 40/25 mg or 80/25 mg with a fix...
