DIURETI
CS
Diuretics are drugs that promote the output of urine
excreted by kidney.
Diuretics mainly promotes the excretion of the sodium
ions(Na+), chloride ions (Cl-) or bicarbonate ions(HCO3-) and
water from the body, the net result being increase the urine flow.
These drugs act by decreasing tubular reabsorption.
• do not affect the glamerular filtration rate or the action of anti
diuretic hormone (ADH)

Angina pectoris is characterized by a severe constricting pain
in the chest.
This usually happens when there is imbalance between the
myocardial oxygen demand and supply.
Goal of Antianginal Drugs: to restore balance between
Myocardial O2 Demand and Supply

Consistent high blood pressure can damage the brain, eyes, and
kidneys.
Hypertension is often called "the silent killer" because it rarely
exhibits symptoms even as it inflicts serious damage on the body.

Classification of antihyperlipidemic agents
Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMGCoA) reductase inhibitors
Eg.Statins (Atrovastatin, lovastatin, Metastatin, Pravastatin,
Fluvastatin)
Phenoxyisobutyric acid derivatives Eg. Fibrates (Clofibrates,
Gemfibrozil)
Clofibrate (CLOF)
Clofibrate is an ester of phenoxyisobutyric acid (fibric acid).
It is regarded as a broad spectrum lipid lowering drug.
It is a prodrug, metabolized to chlorophenoxyisobutyric
acid (CPIB) which is the active form of the drug.
Mechanism of action
Clofibrate increases the activity of extrahepatic lipoprotein lipase
(LL), thereby increasing lipoprotein triglyceride lipolysis.
Note: Clofibrate was discontinued in 2002 due to adverse effects.

is a fungal polyketide derived synthetically from a fermentation
product of Aspergillus terreus.
It is a prodrug.
The inactive gamma-lactone closed ring form is hydrolysed in vivo
to the active βhydroxy acid open ring form.
Mechanism of action
is a potent competitive reversible inhibitors of HMG-CoA

Characteristic Features
1. An unsaturated lactone ring attached to steroid nucleus at C 17 with
βconfiguration.
2. A tertiary β-hydroxy group at C-14.
3. An axially oriented hydroxy group at C-3 to which is attached the sugar
residue.
4. The cis fusion of the ring C/D and in most cases also of the rings A/B.
5. Methyl groups at C-10 and C-13.
6. The methyl group at C-19 may be replaced by a CHO or CH2OH group (e.g.
Strophanthus).
7. Additional hydroxy groups may be present at C-, C-2, C-5, C-11, C-12 and C-16

Structure-Activity Relationships
The sugar moieties have no cardiac activities, but when
attached to 3-OH group of the steroid they modify the
activity and are of great importance for the pharmacokinetic
behavior. They affect the potency of the cardiac glycosides.

Drugs Containing Cardioactive Glycosides
Digoxin
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside extracted from foxglove leaves
(Digitalis lanata, Family : Scrophulariaceae).
Digoxin includes a steroid nucleus and a lactone ring; most
also have one or more sugar residues.
It differs from digitoxin in that it has an additional hydroxyl
group at C16 of the steroid skeleton.
The 17- lactone and the steroid (A-B-C-D) ring system are
essential for cardiac glycoside.
Digoxin inhibits Na+ /K+- ATPase enzyme
