Table II.

The predicted drugs of DEGs.

Name Accession number Groups Descriptiona
Captopril DB01197 Approved Captopril is a potent, competitive inhibitor of ACE and may be used in the treatment of hypertension.
Ramipril DB00178 Approved Ramipril is a prodrug belonging to the ACEI class of medications, may be used in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke.
Labetalol DB00598 Approved Blocker of both α- and β-adrenergic receptors that is used as an antihypertensive.
Verapamil DB00661 Approved A calcium channel blocker that is a class IV anti-arrhythmia agent.
Mexiletine DB00379 Approved, Investigational Antiarrhythmic agent pharmacologically similar to lidocaine. It may have some anticonvulsant properties.
Nicardipine DB00622 Approved, Investigational A potent calcium channel blockader with marked vasodilator action.
Propranolol DB00571 Approved, Investigational A widely used non-cardioselective β-adrenergic antagonist. Used in acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, hypertension.
Diltiazem DB00343 Approved, Investigational A benzothiazepine derivative with vasodilating action due to its antagonism of the actions of the calcium ion in membrane functions.
Amyl Nitrite DB01612 Approved An antihypertensive medicine. Amyl nitrite is bioactive in mammals, being a vasodilator which is the basis of its use as a prescription medicine.
Propafenone DB01182 Approved An antiarrhythmia agent that is particularly effective in ventricular arrhythmias. It also has weak β-blocking activity.
Nifedipine DB01115 Approved Both a long and short-acting 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, preventing calcium-dependent myocyte contraction and vasoconstriction.
Labetalol DB00598 Approved Blocker of both α- and β-adrenergic receptors that is used as an antihypertensive.
Ramipril DB00178 Approved Ramipril is a prodrug belonging to the ACEI class of medications, may be used in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke
Nimodipine DB00393 Approved, Investigational A calcium channel blocker. It acts primarily on vascular smooth muscle cells by stabilizing voltage-gated L-type calcium channels in their inactive conformation.
Benazepri DB00542 Approved, Investigational Can be converted into benazeprilat, a non-sulfhydryl ACEI. A medi cation used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure and chronic renal failure.
Valsartan DB00177 Approved, Investigational Valsartan is an ARB that may be used to treat hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy.
Ephedrine DB01364 Approved, Investigational Affect the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter, or blood volume.
Verapamil DB00661 Approved A calcium channel blocker that is a class IV anti-arrhythmia agent.
Digoxin DB00390 Approved Control ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation.
Diltiazem DB00343 Approved, Investigational A benzothiazepine derivative with vasodilating action due to its antagonism of the actions of the calcium ion in membrane functions.
Timolol DB00373 Approved A β-adrenergic antagonist similar in action to propranolol. Timolol has been proposed as an antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic and anti angina agent.
Lisinopril DB00722 Approved, Investigational Lisinopril is a potent, competitive inhibitor of ACE.
Benazepril DB00542 Approved, Investigational Can be converted into benazeprilat, a non-sulfhydryl ACEI. A medi cation used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure and chronic renal failure.
Penbutolol DB01359 Approved, Investigational Penbutolol is a drug in the β-blocker class used to treat hypertension.
