graphic file with name ijms-22-13302-i015.jpg Name: DOXAZOSIN
IUPAC Name: Piperazine, 1-(4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-quinazolinyl)-4-[(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl)carbonyl]-, monomethanesulfonate; 1-(4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-quinazolinyl)-4-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-ylcarbonyl)piperazine monomethanesulfonate
Molecular Formula: C23H25N5O5.CH4O3S
Molecular Weight: 547.58
Mechanism: Doxazosin is a quinazoline-derivative postsynaptic α1-adrenergic blocking agent. It reduces peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure as a result of its vasodilating effects. The drug produces both arterial and venous dilation. Effects of doxazosin on the cardiovascular system are mediated by the drug’s activity at α1-receptor sites on vascular smooth muscle. Because of the prevalence of α receptors on the prostate capsule, prostate adenoma, and the bladder trigone and the relative absence of these receptors on the bladder body, α-blockers decrease urinary outflow resistance in men. Doxazosin may improve to a limited extent the serum lipid profile and can reduce blood glucose and serum insulin concentrations. The drug does not appear to affect plasma renin activity appreciably.
Effect: Treatment of hypertension alone or in conjunction with diuretics, ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, or calcium antagonists. Treatment of urinary outflow obstruction and/or obstructive and irritative symptoms associated with BPH; can be used in combination with finasteride.

IUPAC Name: N-(4-chloro-3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2-[[4,5-(methylenedioxy)-o-toly]acetyl]-3-thiophenesulfonamide
Molecular Formula: C18H15ClN2O6S2
Molecular Weight: 454.90
Mechanism: A selective antagonist of A subtype of endothelin-1 receptors (ETA) located in pulmonary smooth muscle. Stimulation of these receptors by endogenous endothelin-1 causes vasoconstriction. Sitaxsentan exhibits 6500-fold greater selectivity for ETA over the ETB subtype; the latter predominates on vascular endothelial cells. Thus, preferential antagonism of ETA reduces vasoconstriction, without compromising vasodilatory/antiproliferative actions mediated through endothelin-1 binding to ETB subtype.

Mechanism: Competitively blocks β1 receptors, with little or no effect on β2 receptors (bronchial and vascular smooth muscle; only at high doses). No intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and little or no membrane-stabilizing effect (local anesthetic) on the heart. Reduces blood pressure by decreasing cardiac output, decreasing sympathetic outflow from the CNS, and/or suppressing renin release. Reduces intraocular pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor (may block endogenous catecholamine-stimulated increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations within the ciliary processes and subsequent formation of aqueous humor).
Effect: Reduction in elevated intraocular pressure in chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (has been used effectively in glaucoma following laser trabeculoplasty).

Molecular Formula: C41H64O14
Molecular Weight: 780.94
Mechanism: Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside with positive inotropic effects. In congestive heart failure it inhibits the sodium/potassium ATPase pump which acts to increase the intracellular sodium-calcium exchange to increase intracellular calcium, leading to increased contractility. In supraventricular arrhythmias: Direct suppression of the AV node conduction to increase effective refractory period and decrease conduction velocity; positive inotropic effect, enhanced vagal tone, and decreased ventricular rate to fast atrial arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation may decrease sensitivity and increase tolerance to higher serum digoxin concentrations.
Effect: Digitalization and maintenance therapy. Used principally in the prophylactic management and treatment of congestive heart failure and to control the ventricular rate in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation or flutter). Used to improve left ventricular function in cardiogenic shock and atrial fibrillation or flutter with rapid ventricular rate. May be useful, especially in conjunction with a β-adrenergic blocking agent, in the treatment of angina pectoris when cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure are present.

Molecular Formula: C31H44N2O5S HCl
Molecular Weight: 593.22
Mechanism: Dronedarone has antiarrhythmic properties belonging to all four antiarrhythmic (Vaughan-Williams) classes, but the contribution of each of these activities to the clinical effect is unknown. Inhibits sodium (INa) and potassium (Ikr, IkS, Ik1, and Ik-ACh) channels resulting in prolongation of the action potential and refractory period in myocardial tissue without reverse-use-dependent effects. Decreases AV conduction and sinus node function through inhibition of calcium (ICa-L) channels and β1-receptor blocking activity. Similar to amiodarone, dronedarone also inhibits α1-receptor-mediated increases in blood pressure.
Effect: Indicated to reduce the risk of hospitalization related to paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFl) in patients with a recent episode of AF/AFl and associated cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., age >70 years, hypertension, diabetes, prior cerebrovascular accident, left atrial diameter ≥50 mm or left ventricular ejection fraction <40%), who are in normal sinus rhythm or will be cardioverted.

IUPAC Name: (8R,9S)-6′-Methoxycinchonan-9-ol
Molecular Formula: C20H24N2O2
Molecular Weight: 324.42
Mechanism: Depresses phase 0 of action potential. Decreases myocardial excitability and conduction velocity, and myocardial contractility by decreasing sodium influx during depolarization and potassium efflux in repolarization. Additionally reduces calcium transport across cell membrane. Decreases conduction velocity in atria, ventricles, and the His–Purkinje system, and may decrease or cause no change in conduction velocity through the AV node. May suppress atrial fibrillation or flutter. May produce sinus tachycardia via its anticholinergic effects. Has direct negative inotropic effect, but therapeutic plasma concentrations of drug do not usually depress contractility in normal heart. May reduce peripheral resistance and blood pressure by blockade of α-adrenergic receptors and by effects on myocardial contractility. Acts principally as intraerythrocytic schizonticide (has little effect on sporozoites or pre-erythrocytic parasites). Gametocidal against Plasmodium vivax and P. malariae, but not P. falciparum.
Effect: Prophylaxis after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and/or flutter to maintain normal sinus rhythm. Prevent recurrence of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, paroxysmal AV junctional rhythm, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and atrial or ventricular premature contractions. Has activity against Plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Molecular Formula: C24H33N3O4
Molecular Weight: 427.54
Mechanism: Ranolazine exerts antianginal and anti-ischemic effects without changing hemodynamic parameters (heart rate or blood pressure). At therapeutic levels, ranolazine inhibits late phase of inward sodium channel (late INa) in ischemic cardiac myocytes during cardiac repolarization reducing intracellular sodium concentrations and thereby reducing calcium influx via Na+-Ca2+ exchange. Decreased intracellular calcium reduces ventricular tension and myocardial oxygen consumption. It is thought that ranolazine produces myocardial relaxation and reduces anginal symptoms through this mechanism although this is uncertain. At higher concentrations, ranolazine inhibits rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) thus prolonging ventricular action potential duration and subsequent prolongation of QT interval.
Effect: Treatment of chronic angina.

Molecular Formula: C20H31NO4 HCl
Molecular Weight: 385.20
Mechanism: Vernakalant is an antiarrhythmic medicine that acts preferentially in the atria to prolong atrial refractoriness and to rate-dependently slow impulse conduction. These antifibrillatory actions on refractoriness and conduction are thought to suppress re-entry, and are potentiated in the atria during atrial fibrillation. The relative selectivity of vernakalant on atrial vs. ventricular refractoriness is postulated to result from the block of currents that are expressed in the atria, but not in the ventricles, as well as the unique electrophysiologic condition of the fibrillating atria. However, blockade of cationic currents, including hERG channels and cardiac voltage-dependent sodium channels present in the ventricles, has been documented.
Effect: Rapid conversion of recent onset atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm in adults (for non-surgery patients, atrial fibrillation ≤7 days duration; and for post-cardiac surgery patients, atrial fibrillation ≤3 days duration).

Molecular Formula: C7H5ClN3NaO4S2
Molecular Weight: 317.71
Mechanism: Primary site of diuretic action appears to be the cortical diluting segment of the nephron. Enhances excretion of sodium, chloride, and water by interfering with the transport of sodium ions across the renal tubular epithelium. Enhances urinary excretion of potassium secondary to increased amount of sodium at distal tubular site of sodium–potassium exchange. Increases urinary bicarbonate excretion (although to a lesser extent than chloride excretion) but change in urinary pH is usually minimal (diuretic efficacy not affected by acid–base balance of patient). Increases calcium urinary excretion from a decrease in extracellular fluid volume, although calcium reabsorption in the nephron may be increased (also, slight or intermittent elevations in serum calcium concentration). Hypotensive activity in hypertensive patients (unknown mechanism; potential direct arteriolar dilation).

Molecular Formula: C32H26N4O2 HCl
Molecular Weight: 535.04
Mechanism: Conivaptan is an arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptor antagonist with affinity for AVP receptor subtypes V1A and V2. The antidiuretic action of AVP is mediated through activation of the V2 receptor, which functions to regulate water and electrolyte balance at the level of the collecting ducts in the kidney. Antagonism of the V2 receptor by conivaptan promotes the excretion of free water (without loss of serum electrolytes) resulting in net fluid loss, increased urine output, decreased urine osmolality, and subsequent restoration of normal serum sodium levels. Blockade of vascular V1A receptors may cause splanchnic vasodilation, and thus hypotension or variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis (especially those with portal hypertension).

Molecular Formula: C24H30O6
Molecular Weight: 414.49
Mechanism: A relatively selective competitive mineralocorticoid (aldosterone) receptor antagonist. Binds selectively to mineralocorticoid receptors and has low (less than 1%) affinity for glucocorticoid, progesterone, and androgen receptors. It is a competitive antagonist of aldosterone at mineralocorticoid receptors in the kidney, myocardium, salivary gland, GI tract, brain, and vasculature, and has been shown to inhibit the physiologic effects of aldosterone in these organs. Some of the antihypertensive effects of eplerenone may be related to restoration of endothelial function by increasing the release of nitric oxide, which results in vasodilation. Has been shown to produce sustained increases in plasma renin and serum aldosterone concentrations, reflecting the inhibition of the negative feedback of aldosterone on renin secretion. Appears to have cardioprotective effects in congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction following MI. The cardioprotective action mechanism appears to be related more to the ability of the drug to competitively inhibit the pathophysiologic effects of aldosterone on the myocardium than to its hypotensive effects. Eplerenone reduces coronary vascular inflammation, risk of subsequent development of interstitial myocardial and coronary perivascular fibrosis, cardiac hypertrophy, and/or ventricular remodeling.
Effect: To reduce the risk of mortality following acute MI in clinically stable patients with left ventricular dysfunction (i.e., LVEF 40% or less) who have demonstrated clinical evidence of CHF. Used orally in the management of hypertension. May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other classes of antihypertensive agents (e.g., ACEIs, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, calcium-channel blocking agents, β-adrenergic blocking agents, and thiazide diuretics).
